Six-time NCAA wrestling champion and former NFL All Pro offensive lineman, Carlton Haselrig (1-0), of Johnstown, Pennsylvania will take on Carlos Moreno (5-2), of Elizabeth, New Jersey in a top undercard fight that will precede the first mixed martial arts card shown live in primetime on network television Saturday, May 31, at the Prudential Center at Newark, N.J.
"Couple his fantastic experience in college wrestling with his dedication, power and brute strength and it's easy to see why many give Carlton a legitimate chance to make the difficult transition from football to MMA,'' said EliteXC president Gary Shaw. "But this is a tough fight for him. I'm really looking forward to watching all the fights on May 31. It's really going to be a historic, significant and memorable night of mixed martial arts.''
The Haselrig-Moreno preliminary fight is one of five that will be streamed live and for free at ProElite.com.
Following the undercard fights, the first-ever MMA event broadcast live in primetime will take place when "CBS ELITEXC SATURDAY NIGHT FIGHTS'' debuts on the CBS Television Network at 9-p.m.-11 p.m. ET/PT.
Unbeaten sensation Kimbo Slice will be opposed by England's James "Colossus'' Thompson in the CBS main event.
