Former NFL offensive linesman Carlton Haselrig has been booked to fight on Elite XC's CBS card on May 31st.

After much negotiation, Haselrig's opponent will be "Cujo" Joe McCall. Negotions were made with IFL heavyweight Bryan Vetell and Former Giants fullback Jarrod Bunch, but both refused to sign the deal over pay disputes.
