Background
editFollowing several co-promotions and the debut of ShoXC, EliteXC returned with their second official show 7 months after their debut with EliteXC: Destiny.
The main card aired on Showtime. The main event featured a middleweight unification match between EliteXC Middleweight Champion, Murilo Rua, and ICON Sport Middleweight Champion, Robbie Lawler.
In a rare move for MMA, the untelevised matches occurred after the main card and streamed live on the Proelite.com website.
