Shane Carwin not signed to fight Antonio Silva
Various sites have picked up on a listing on Showtime’s website that is advertising undefeated heavyweight prospect Shane Carwin as the opponent for Antonio Silva on EliteXC’s next show on February 16 in Miami.
ProElite.com (SamCaplan.ProElite.com) has learned that Carwin has not signed with EliteXC and that an opponent for Silva has yet to be determined.

Damn, Showtime is still listing that fight. This is the second time in a week that they advertised a false fight. That’s crap. EliteXC better put a stop to that somehow. Its no different than the Japanese promotions putting out names of fighters that were never going to fight on a card to begin with. For example, Yarennoka advertised Arona up until about two weeks prior to the event. Meanwhile Arona had said he wouldn’t be fighting at that event. I hope this doesn’t become EliteXC/Showtime’s habit.
