Lawler, Smith Locked for Rematch
Friday, July 25, 2008
by Dave Mandel

STOCKTON, Calif. -- EliteXC middleweight champion Robbie Lawler (Pictures) and challenger Scott Smith (Pictures) weighed in successfully for what they hope will be the conclusion to a title tug-of-war that began May 31 on CBS’s “Saturday Night Fights” but has yet to yield a clear-cut victor.

Lawler and Smith both hovered at the 185-pound requisite for Saturday’s event at the Stockton Arena, which will air on CBS at 9 p.m. EST/PST.

In the night’s second title bout, well-regarded Jake Shields (Pictures) will finally get his shot at the promotion’s championship strap when he takes on Minnesotan Nick Thompson (Pictures), the former welterweight champion for Calvin Ayre’s short-lived Bodog Fight promotion.

Hometown favorite Nick Diaz (Pictures) walked the road to redemption after failing to make weight for his June appearance against Muhsin Corbbrey (Pictures) in Hawaii. The outspoken Stockton native clocked in at 159.5 pounds, while opponent Thomas Denny (Pictures) logged in at 159 pounds.

Continuing to extend its lead with a burgeoning women’s division, EliteXC will also offer a 140-pound matchup between returnee Shayna Baszler (Pictures) and Brazilian promotion debuter Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos (Pictures). The ladies tallied 139- and 140-pound marks.

Showtime will air a heavyweight title championship between American Top Team juggernaut Antonio Silva (Pictures) (257.5) and Justin Eilers (Pictures) (218), which begins at 8 p.m. EST/PST.
