EliteXC announces womens match for Mar. 21 show


EliteXC has announced a womens match for their Mar. 21 show at the Chumash Casino in Santa Ynez, CA. This show will air on Showtime in the US. I don't know yet if it will be on The Fight Network in Canada but I wouldn't be surprised if it is. It will be Jen Case vs Christiane Cyborg. Jen Case is from Topeka, KS and is managed by Debi Purcell at Team Fightergirl. Her record is 4-1 and her most recent win was over Yoko Takahashi at the Feb. 27, 2007 Fatal Femmes Fighting show. Brazilian Christiane Cyborg trains at Chute Boxe. She is 4-0 and her
most recent win was over Marise Vitoria at the Nov. 25, 2006 Storm Samurai show in Brazil. This will be her first fight outside Brazil so nerves could be an issue. The two seem comparable in experience so it
should be a good fight to hopefully set up a future fight with Gina Carano.
