Antonio Silva vs. Jonathan Wiezorek (Super Heavyweight)
Round 1
There is no doubt that Silva is the better conditioned athlete. All that remains is to see how good he is. A big knee by Silva, both men still standing. Kick by Silva, Silva rocks Jonathan. The fight goes to the ground with Silva on top and Wiezorek turtling...this thing is close to over. Wiezorek isn't offering anything on the ground and Silva is working his way toward top position. Silva landing punches from the top. Silva has his back and Jonathon turns again. The ref is taking a close look. Silva landing hammer fists from the top, he has his back, going for the rear naked choke and Wiezorek taps.

EliteXC Winner : Antonio Silva

Antonio Silva looked pretty impressive, I'd like to see him take on a top 20 heavyweight (he's 265) and see how he'd do.

Seth Kleinbeck vs Kyle Noke (Middleweight)
Round 1
Dr. Seth is the more agressive fighter early on, but most of his strikes/kicks have been ineffective so far. Inside leg kicks by Seth. Kyle throws a kick and Seth takes him to the ground. Seth is now in half guard, trying to land something from the top. Seth Kleinbeck is now in Noke's guard. Kyle atempts a quick submission, but lets it go. Kyle Noke again going after an armbar, but lets it go right away.

Kyle Noke is very active from the bottom. It looks like his BJJ is very strong. Armbar attempt by Noke. Seth Kleinbeck gets out of it and Seth stands up, both fighters are now on their feet. Big shot by Seth. Combination by Seth.

A tough first round to call, almost dead even. Seth Kleinbeck was on top on the ground, but Noke definitely gave more trouble. Because of the submission attempts and the almost armbar I give the first round to Kyle Noke.

Round 2
The fight almost immediately goes to the ground with Noke mounting Seth. Noke has his back, trying to secure in the hooks. Kyle Noke is softening Seth up and will attempt a rear naked choke soon. Seth Kleinbeck turns and now has top position. The ref stands them up for no apparent reason. Kyle Noke takes Seth Kleinbeck down and has top position. Seth is holding on from the bottom and Noke is looking for a submission, but throws elbows from the top. Kyle Noke seems to be a very well rounded fighter. Kyle Noke is landing punches to the ribs from the top. The ref stands them up to take a look at a big cut on Seth Kleinbeck. Wow, that's a big hole in his head.

The fight has been called on a cut to Seth Kleinbeck, probably caused by an elbow.

EliteXC Winner : Kyle Noke

Mike Pyle vs Jake Sheilds (Welterweight)
Round 1
Pile hurts Sheilds early...he's smiling on the bottom. Sheilds is looking to take top position on the ground. Sheilds is on top of Pyle and it looks like Pyle is trying to move his legs up. Sheilds has Pyle up against the fence. Pyle using rubber guard, Sheilds is trying to land shots from above, but isn't getting anywhere. Full mount for Jake Shields, Shields now has Pyle's back...Jake Shields wins by submission.

EliteXC Winner : Jake Shields
Hmmm, so much for Mike Pyle not being promoted enough. I guess EliteXC was backing the right guy.

Kimbo Slice vs Bo Cantrell (Heavyweight)
Round 1
Well, one kick by Bo Cantrell and one punch by Kimbo Slice...it's over.

EliteXC Winner : Kimbo Slice at 19 seconds of the first round.

Nick Diaz vs KJ Noons (160lb - Lightweight Title Fight)
Round 1
Noonls lands first, but Diaz grabs a leg, working for a takedown. Noons escapes. Noons looks like he's got the quicker hands. Good kick by Diaz, KJ lands a good body shot. Right hand lands for Diaz.

Noons lands a huge right hand and Diaz is in trouble on the ground. Diaz gets back up, his face is covered in blood. Diaz shoots and misses. Diaz attempts another takedown, but Noons is doing a good job of using the fence. Diaz gets the takedown as the bell rings.

The fight has been stopped between rounds because of the cuts on Nick Diaz.
