ProElite.com (SamCaplan.ProElite.com) has learned that EliteXC is in the process of finalizing a four fight contract with 2003 National Collegiate boxing champion and 2-time All-American wrestler Eric Bradley.

While it has not been officially announced, Bradley is expected to make his EliteXC debut on February 16 in Miami. The main event for the show is scheduled to be a heavyweight clash between  Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson and Tank Abbott.

Bradley is one of four members contracted to Ted Ehrhardt’s Team Takedown, a fight camp that has adopted the unconventional tactic of putting its fighters on salary so that they can concentrate full-time on mixed martial arts.

    Is it Kyle or Erik? Junkie’s says Kyle, and that the deal with Elite fell thru. He signed with UFC, and is slated to fight Lytle in April.

    Eric Bradley and Kyle Bradley are two separate fighters.

    Kyle is a lightweight/welterweight who trains out of Louisiana with Rich Clementi’s Team Voodoo.

    Eric is a middleweight who trains out of Las Vegas at Xtreme Couture and is a member of Team Takedown.
