The fight card, announced today by EliteXC Live Events President, Gary Shaw, will also feature the top female draw in MMA, Gina Carano, highly regarded, top-notch heavyweights Antonio “Big Foot” Silva and James “The Colossus” Thompson (in separate bouts) and a matchup between 185-pounders Scott Smith and Kyle “KO” Noke.
