We're committed to growing the great sport of mixed martial arts. I think in our last telecast on May 31, we gained a lot of new fans, who had never watched the sport before, as well as all the hardcore fans. As long as we can keep growing the fan base for this sport, which is inevitable, CBS, SHOWTIME and ProElite will have a long and healthy lasting relationship. I think that's where it's at.

A big thank you to our athletes -- some of the best in the world at EliteXC – for being on this call and for stepping into that ring. Thank you to all the press today. We're excited for July 26.

Lappen: Thank you to the fighters and the media for calling in. We're very, very proud of this show and this fight card. I think this is going to showcase world-class talent. If you look at the fight card and every single fight at every weight class, we will have people on display that we would put in against anybody in the world. These are truly the best fighters in the world. It should be a great, exciting show. If you're in Northern California, there's nothing like seeing our fights live. Come out and buy tickets. If you can't make it live, watch it on CBS and SHOWTIME. Thanks a lot.

Shields: I want to thank everyone at EliteXC for giving me this huge opportunity to fight for a world title and to fight on CBS. I've been fighting forever. To have this opportunity is awesome. Also I think everybody should make sure to watch this fight. It's going to be a great fight between Nick and I. I think we're both two of the top guys at 170 that haven't quite got the proper exposure and stuff yet. We have a lot to prove on July 26. I just don't see this not being a good fight. I know I'm going to fight hard. I know Nick's ready, too. So be ready.

Thompson: I would just like to reiterate how excited I am to fight on CBS and especially to fight Jake. We're two of the best fighters in the world. I think this fight's going to be the toughest test of either of our careers.

Denny: Once again, I want to thank everybody for all the support over the years. Thanks to, like I said, all the EliteXC guys and CBS. Thanks to Nick Diaz for giving me this fight. I'm really looking forward to going out there, showcasing some skills. I've been training my butt off. I'm going to go out and bring it. I am going to set a high pace. Then I'm going to get my butt in the front row and watch Nick and Jake beat the heck out of each other. I'm really excited for that fight.
