"EliteXC weigh-in results for Kimbo Slice vs. James Thompson CBS event; Gina Carano fails to make weight
By: MMAmania

The official weigh-ins for the Elite XC primetime special “Saturday Night Fights” from just OUTSIDE the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., are now in.

And it didn’t go all too smooth.

In particular, the “female face” of mixed martial arts, Gina Carano, failed to make weight on her first attempt. Normally, she would have one hour to lose 3.5 pounds (she weighed in at 144.5).

If she couldn’t make the cut, the bout would still more than likely go on; however, the decision would ultimately be up to her opponent, Kaitlin Young, regarding whether or not she wanted to accept the bout and a percentage of Carano’s purse would be awarded to Young (if she accepts).

HOWEVER, Elite XC officials made no clarification at the event as to what indeed is going to happen with Carano and whether or not she is required to shed the excess poundage.

In fact, our correspondent on the scene, James Iannotti, said that Elite XC officials “scattered” after the weigh-in event and would not answer questions.

Stay tuned more more details.

In the meantime, here are the official scale-tipping results:

265 lbs.: Kimbo Slice (235.5) vs. James “The Colossus” Thompson (257)
185 lbs.: “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler (184.5) vs. Scott “Hands of Steel” Smith (184.5)
185 lbs: Joey Villasenor (184.5) vs. Phil “The New York Badass” Baroni (185)
140 lbs: Gina “Conviction” Carano (144.5) vs. Kaitlin Young (140.5)
265 lbs.: Brett “The Grim” Rogers (263.5) vs. Jon Murphy (260.5)
265 lbs.: Carlos Moreno (261) vs. Carlton Haselrig (263)
160 lbs.: Chris Liguori (161) vs. Jim Bova (160.5)
170 lbs.: Nick Serra (167) vs. Matt Makowski (171)
140 lbs.: Wilson Reis (140.5) vs. Justin Robbins (140.5)
155 lbs.: James “Binky” Jones (154.5) vs. Calvin Kattar (155.5)
135 lbs.: Zach Makovsky (135) vs. Andre Soares (134)
155 lbs.: Mike Groves (154) vs. Joe Sampieri (155)

Maybe shes on the rag?

Well shit, if I was Young, I'd take the percentage because you're going to lose anyway, and you'll need all the money you can get to get your face restructured after Gina pounds it in anyway.

If she's on the rag, well that just screws Young over even more...
