Phil Baroni (10-9), who recently came up short in an ICON Sport title fight with Kala Hose, has signed on to fight Murilo "Ninja" Rua (15-8-1) at the May 31 EliteXC-CBS event.
The event, which will likely feature Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson in the night's main event, takes place at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. It'll be the first-ever MMA event to air on major U.S. network television.
News of the Baroni vs. Rua fight was first reported by the Internet radio show
Cageside Live and has since been confirmed by Sam Caplan of
