Doug DeLuca: So there you have it. I mean, in answer to your question. There will definitely be a Frank Shamrock-Cung Le rematch. I think we have to sit down with Frank. This is great news that we just got now and we'll have to figure out when that might be.

John Navarro: Frank, after watching that last battle between Scott Smith and Robbie Lawler, how do you expect this one to come out?

Frank Shamrock: I think Lawler really has Smith's number when it comes to the standup game and when it comes to dictating pressure and positioning in the game. I think it's going to be a similar fight. I really think Lawler can control that striking game to do the most amount of power punching and damage. I see him coming out on this, and yes, I just think he's too strong, too big, and too in his zone with his new standup skills and his wrestling combination. He's got a flow about him that's really going to be tough to beat for a while.

John Navarro: And how do you see the Jake Shields' match with 'The Goat'?

Frank Shamrock: I don't know. That's a tricky fight to call. Shields has so much skill and I think he's just really underrated and, underappreciated as a technician. I think that is going to be a very intense technical battle, but I think it can go either way.

John Navarro: What can you tell us Antonio 'Big Foot' Silva?

Frank Shamrock: All I know is he's a giant and his technique improves every single time. His new game is standup with flying knees, and for a man of this size to be throwing flying knees and head kicks it's very exciting and very damaging. I just think he's a young man in the sport with a lot of potential and I think he's going to knock some fools out.

Operator: We'll go next to Greg Delong with 1450 FOX Sports Radio.

Greg Delong: Doug, was CBS able to increase the price of advertising for this show because of the success of the first one?

Doug DeLuca: I think they definitely could have. I think the name of the game again is slow and steady. We want long-term partners. Nobody's looking to make a quick hit. I don’t know for sure, but from what I've been told in the discussions I've had, the advertising went as well as it did the first time and we're going to be full slate. The advertisers all came back, and everyone was very, very happy with the first event. I don't believe prices were raised, but I don't know for sure.
