Sam,

That is good news. Looks like the 6/14 card could be shaping up to be a really good one if the make-up is that night. But now with Fickett fighting an undercard bout on Sat. night, could he be ready (or potentially medically cleared) to fight again by mid-June?

Matt, Jack Shields, Jake’s father and manager, told me the fight is postponed. It could happen within the next couple of months.

I definitely don’t think you will see it on CBS. I would think that June 14 is more likely. That is, assuming Fickett doesn’t fight before then.

Adam:

I hope you’re right, especially since I plan on attending that show. But ProElite.com was reporting the fight as “cancelled” as opposed to “postponed.” Any info. on this?

Matt,

I would bet dollars to donuts that the Shields/Fickett fight will be on CBS.

This fight will be entertaining as hell but I think Baroni’s gonna end up 10-10 after this fight. You have to give credit where credit is due. Baroni does not back down from a fight.

as much as i want ninja to win, i hope he doesn’t gas like he did against lawler
although it’d be fun to see who gases first

It’s obvious here that EXC are going for the theatrical entrance of Baroni, not to mention his link to the NY/NJ Metro Area. Any chance of the Shields-Fickett fight being made up here?

Baroni is the only fighter in the states who gets treated like hes fighting in Japan, no matter how many he loses he keeps getting asked to headline.

Lost to Frank, Lost to Kala and if he gasses again will lose to Ninja!

Phil ought think about a gig at Chippendales. All those muscles might help him there. Haven’t done much for him in the ring/octagon lately.

Phil v Ninja, well the only interesting part for me is seeing how quick Bad Ass gasses, and most likely see Ninja win again….. not much else there in that fight…..

hold on phil, i thought you never took steriods. so you must have got those ridiculous abs by doing a million crunches right? and maybe changing your diet.
