EliteXC is looking to deepen it's talent pool and that they did by signing Andrei Arlovski to face Roy Nelson in the October 4th event. This certainly solidifies this card and should help CBS event drastically.
Loretta Hunt of Sherdog.com reported the news on Wednesday.
Arlovski (13-5), a former UFC heavyweight champion, was victorious in his Affliction debut in July, punishing Ben Rothwell en route to a third-round technical knockout.
Nelson (13-2) was the last reigning IFL heavyweight titleholder whose only loss under the International Fight League banner was a split decision to Rothwell in April 2007.
Nelson hopes to do what Rothwell couldn't, to beat Arlovski.
EliteXC: Heat is only weeks away and it takes place at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla. The featured bout pits former street brawler Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson against MMA pioneer Ken Shamrock. The action will air live on CBS.
