Benji Radach eyes Opportunity at CBS-Elite XC

Originally posted on MMAweekly.com

Benji Radach is looking to make his 2008 debut at EliteXC on Oct. 4 against Murilo “Ninja” Rua. A former International Fight League middleweight standout, he has a diversified MMA career and holds an impressive record of 18-4.

Radach went 5-1 in the IFL and seemed to have found a home there. He enjoyed working with the IFL and enjoyed the team atmosphere. “I really liked the IFL,” Radach said in an interview with MMAWeekly Radio. “I liked training on a team for a month before the fight, bleeding and sweating together, then going out to battle together. It was really cool. I really liked it. I was really hoping that they would keep going.”

With the IFL now defunct, Radach was looking for another organization to fight in. When he was presented an offer from EliteXC to fight on the main card in a CBS show, he couldn't resist. “I couldn't pass up the publicity on this one just because it's on live TV. There's a big headliner - Ken (Shamrock) and Kimbo (Slice). The one thing about that fight is that they put people in the seats. They get a lot of people's attention. There will be a lot of people watching that fight so I got the main card. I definitely had to go with it. I couldn't pass that up.”
