We got an e-mail this morning from CBS about the very-first EliteXC card they'll air. It's happening May 31st.

Here's how the lineup looks:

Kimbo Slice vs. James "Colossus" Thompson (Heavyweights)

"Ruthless" Robbie Lawler vs. Scott "Hands of Steel" Smith (for EliteXC Middleweight title)

Gina "Conviction" Carano vs. Kaitlin Young (140 lb. weight class)

Phil Baroni vs. Murilo "Ninja" Rua (Middleweights)

Brett "The Grim" Rogers vs. Jon Murphy (Heavyweights)

I have to say, when I first heard CBS and EliteXC struck a deal, my first thought was "So what?" I watch all the UFC pay-per-views and was a big fan of Pride before the UFC bought it. I have to say though, this card looks pretty good, especially the Kimbo-Thompson and Lawler-Smith matchups.

Now if it's in HD, my life will be complete...
