EliteXC and FSN (Fox Sports Net) have formally announced an agreement to air four 1-hour MMA specials beginning in mid-September. The shows will air on Sundays at 9PM, and as previously speculated, parent company ProElite will be utilizing their multiple brands and will include "vintage fights" from promotions like King of the Cage and Cage Rage alongside showcase fights for current EliteXC stars such as Kimbo Slice and Frank Shamrock. Similar to FSN's PRIDE specials, Jay Glazer and Frank Trigg will host.

From today's press release:

EliteXC, the only MMA organization to be broadcast live in primetime on network television, has developed a stacked lineup of some of MMA’s top stars. The FSN EliteXC telecasts will showcase many of these elite MMA names, including internet sensation Kimbo Slice, MMA legend Frank Shamrock, EliteXC Lightweight Champion KJ Noons and Phil “The New York Bad Ass” Baroni. In addition, the telecasts will feature vintage bouts of other MMA stars, including Anderson “Spider” Silva and Uriah “the California Kid” Faber, from earlier in their careers when they fought in in ProElite-owned, King of the Cage and Cage Rage events.

“Our mission from day one with ProElite and EliteXC has been to showcase the incredible talent and excitement of our fighters and illustrate that the appetite of the growing legions of MMA fans can’t be satisfied by merely a single organization,” said ProElite’s Doug DeLuca. “FSN has a well-known history of success with MMA, and this partnership is another important step in developing an even stronger fan base for the exciting brand of MMA that ProElite delivers through EliteXC and our other organizations like King of the Cage, Cage Rage, Icon Sport, SpiritMC and Rumble on the Rock.”
