Pro Elite — the parent company of MMA organizations such as Elite XC, King of the Cage, Cage Rage, Icon Sport and others — recently announced that its Web site (ProElite.com) will now feature a video On Demand section.
The upgrade will allow fans to access past fights from each of various promotions, which includes bouts that involve notables such as UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva, UFC Lightweight Champion BJ Penn and many other MMA superstars.
In addition, fans will be able to view under card bouts from Elite XC and other Pro Elite events that weren’t aired on the original broadcasts. Fans will have the option to view single fights starting at .99 cents or entire events for just $4.95.
That’s hard to beat.
Unlimited access will also be available in the form of a “Pro Elite Fight Pass,” which is normally $12.95 a month, but will be on sale for $7.95 a month at an introductory price.
Here’s a snip from Douglas Deluca, Pro Elite executive chairman:
“We have hand picked hours upon hours of high-quality MMA content and provided a compelling online product that is accessible to fans on a global scale. With more than 50 hours of combat currently available and 20 hours added monthly, our Fight Pass offering allows MMA fans to gain instant access to all of the MMA action they can handle.”

The main card lineup for the highly anticipated mixed martial arts (MMA) debut for EliteXC on CBS was announced earlier today.
Keep in mind there will still be some under card bouts announced at a later time, but for now here’s the televised portion of the May 31 card:
Main event:
Kimbo Slice vs. James “The Colossus” Thompson
Main card:
EliteXC Middleweight Champion “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler vs. Scott “Hands of Steel” Smith
Gina “Conviction” Carano vs. Kaitlin Young
Phil “The New York Badass” Baroni vs. Joey Villasenor
Brett “The Grim” Rogers vs. Jon Murphy
We already knew about most of the fights, but the Brett Rogers heavyweight showdown against Jon Murphy was made official with this announcement.
Rogers most recently knocked out Thompson at “Street Certified” in Miami on February 16, which is ironic since Thompson is now in the main event and Rogers is at the bottom of the main card.
This could be some foreshadowing by EliteXC Live Event President, Gary Shaw, and the promotion. Perhaps they’re looking build Rogers as a formidable opponent in front of a national television audience so that he can challenge Slice his next time out.
That’s a solid match up, and one that could be a very tough fight for Kimbo. Rogers is a monster and Kimbo could have some serious problems with that size disadvantage.
First and foremost, however, Slice and Rogers need to take care of business on May 31.
In particular, Rogers should not look past Murphy. He used to play middle linebacker for the Syracuse Orangemen and knows a little something about competing and hitting. He has a since put together a solid MMA record (4-2), including a win over Sherman Pendergarst.
EliteXC has thus far done an admirable job putting this event together. Most of the fighters on this card have competed in other organizations with some of the best fighters in the world.
Put simply, these are quality fighters and quality matches.
The action next month will take place live from The Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., and will air on CBS from 9 - 11 p.m. ET.
