We have been promoting Antonio for a while now as the person that we think is the best in the world at heavyweight. But he's got a very, very tough test in Justin Eilers. Justin has won 10 of his last 11 fights, his only loss coming in a decision loss to Pedro Rizzo.

The CBS card will open with Shayna Baszler against Cris Cyborg at 140 pounds. For Shayna, this will be her fourth appearance for us. She’s fought three previous times on SHOWTIME and finished off her opponents in the first round every time. But she's got a very, very, very tough competitor -- somebody we're very excited about -- Cris Cyborg out of Brazil. If you haven’t seen her, you're in for a treat. Cris is one of the most powerful, vicious and aggressive female fighters in the world. This should be really, really interesting and should set up very nicely the winner of this hopefully getting a title shot down the road.

The main event on CBS is "Ruthless" Robbie Lawler against Scott "Hands of Steel" Smith. This is the rematch from our last CBS event. That fight was an epic fight, turning into one of the greatest fights ever until it was stopped prematurely because of a poke in the eye. We wanted to bring it back and both guys were very excited to redo it and finally settle the score.

We also have Nick Diaz taking on Thomas Denny at 160 pounds. Nick is trying to work his way to get his rematch with EliteXC lightweight champion KJ Noons. This is a huge step for Thomas, but he is finally getting his big shot – and on CBS. This is a fight these guys have been wanting for a long time. It should be a great one.

Then, for the EliteXC welterweight title, we have Jake Shields against Nick Thompson. Nick has won 20 of his last 21 fights, including 12 in a row. He was the Bodog 170-pound champ and has been on a terror of late. Jake, who hasn't lost in almost four years, has won nine in a row and is ranked in the top five in the world on most ranking systems. Jake has fought for us numerous times. Basically we have yet to find anybody that can take Jake out of the first round. This should be a great battle between two of the top 170-pounders in the world. We're very, very, very proud to have this matchup for the first-ever EliteXC welterweight belt.

Question: Jake, what are your thoughts on finally getting a shot at a world title? How is training going? How are you physically?

Shields: I couldn't be more excited about this right now. I think it's awesome. I've been fighting for over eight years. To finally be fighting for a world title on CBS is just phenomenal to me. As far as training, I'm in great shape. I feel the best I've ever felt. I had an injury (lower back) that messed me up, (but it) got me more motivated than ever. My training camp is going great. I'm glad to be fighting in Stockton, which is only an hour and a half from my hometown. I feel super excited about my opponent. I'm more excited to be fighting Nick than Drew Fickett. Unfortunately, that fell apart. Nick is just somebody I've wanted to fight for a while. I know he’s wanted to fight me. It's a perfect time for us to fight, go out there and make this a true world title fight.
