Weigh-ins for “EliteXC: Heat” event takes place Friday at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla. I am not sure and am bummed out that Cyborgette’s fight will not be televised.

The full fight card, which includes a six-fight unaired preliminary card, includes:

Preliminary Card
* Jorge Bouchat vs. Nicolae Cury wins by reverse triangle in RD1!
* David Gomez vs. Bryan Hamade wins by Guillotine in RD1!
* Lorenzo Borgomeo vs. Mikey Gomez wins by armbar in RD2!
* Edson Berto vs. Conor Heun wins by TKO in RD2!
* Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos vs. Yoko Takahashi won a unanimous decision.

* While warming up to prepare for the fight Ken Shamrock in Shamrock and Lion’s Den style warmed up HARD and his training partner headbutted him and he needed 6-7 stitches, so the athletic commission did not let him fight. Seth Petruzelli was asked to sub for him.

Main Card (Televised)
* Benji Radach vs. Murilo “Ninja” Rua wins by TKO in RD2!
* Gina Carano vs. Kelly Kobold-Gavin wins by unanimous decision!
