Slice/Shamrock booked, Dana White on MindFreak, Rampage officially charged

Amidst questions that they might be in financial trouble after having to recently cancel an event, EliteXC wasted no time in putting their best effort (last resort?) out there in signing Kimbo Slice to fight Ken Shamrock for their next CBS event in October. Seem like a weird mix? Yeah, me too. But with their next CBS event coming up in October and likely the deal-breaker for whether this is going to work, I don't blame them at all. Shamrock is one of the most well-known MMA fighters of all-time, even if he's over the hill in major fighter terms. Slice is still an unknown oddity that has a chance to continue his grasp on the mainstream with a win. From a casual fan's perspective, this is a great match. From a fight fan's perspective, you're not going to get a whole lot out of this. Elite is doing the right thing in protecting Slice, but eventually they are going to have to test him. If this October fight doesn't work, there will be a lot fewer people watching when he does. -UFC Prez Dana White will be on Criss Angel's Mindfreak this Wednesday at 10 pm EST on A&E. I wonder there are some people in the fight community that wish Angel would make White disappear forever. -The sad Rampage Jackson story is starting to get more clarity as he's been charged with two felonies and four misdemeanors thanks to his little fun run in July. However, he was not charged with causing the miscarriage of a woman whose car he sideswiped along the way. If convicted, he could get up to three years in prison. No matter what, UFC is still standing behind him and he's expected to fight this year. That will be an interesting crowd reaction.
