Shamrock, who has lost five fights in a row and seven out his last eight fights, is nowhere near title contention in any major organization, but he continues to be a ticket seller due to his popularity in the past as a UFC fighter and a WWE pro wrestler.
EliteXC is banking on the popularity of the two fighters to boost its "Saturday Night Fights" ratings on CBS. The first EliteXC-CBS event on May 31, headlined by Slice, drew record ratings, but without a star attraction on the second event on July 26, ratings fell 43% from the first.
The CBS card is now complete:
- Kimbo Slice vs. Ken Shamrock
- Jake Shields vs. Paul "Semtex" Daley (Title Bout)
- Gina Carano vs. Kelly Kobald
- Murilo "Ninja" Rua vs. Benji Radach
- Cris Cyborg vs. Yoko Takahasi (Swing Bout)
