A light heavyweight bout featuring Jaime Fletcher (8-3) taking on former Team Punishment member Aaron Rosa (10-1) has been added to the televised portion of Friday’s ShoXC card on SHOWTIME (11 p.m. ET), ProElite.com (SamCaplan.ProElite.com) has learned.

The event will emanate from the Chumash Hotel & Casino in Santa Ynez, Calif.

The 205 pound clash was added as a late replacement for a female MMA match that was to have seen Chute Boxe Academy fighter Cris Cyborg squad off against Jen Case.

The Cyborg vs. Case bout was canceled in part because Cyborg had visa issues and wasn’t expected to be able to gain entry into the United States in time for the show. She could be added to a ShoXC event scheduled for the near future.

Cyborg, who is an unblemished 4-0, is the wife of Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos.
