Antonio Silva vs Justin Eilers on July 26

June 30th, 2008 | by Dr J

Last week we reported that Antonio Silva would fight Sergei Kharitonov on the next CBS-EliteXC Saturday Night Fights event.

Instead, it appears that Silva will fight Justin Eilers. Sam Caplan from FiveOuncesofPain.com first reported the news and Eilers’ manager Monte Cox confirmed the news. Jared Shaw, EliteXC vice president, indicated the fight will most likely still be for the EliteXC heavyweight title but the fight might be broadcast on the Showtime portion of the fight card instead of televised on CBS.
