Murilo "Ninja" Rua Versus Benji Radach Announced

Former Elite XC Middleweight Champion Murilo "Ninja" Rua will face former IFL Anaconda Benji Radach at Elite XC's October event.

Murilo Rua was Elite XC's first ever Middleweight champion and has five wins in his past six fights. He is the older brother of Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, and is a former Pride veteran.

Benji Radach is best known to fans for his stint in the IFL as a member of Bas Rutten's Anaconda's. He also fought three fights for the UFC in 2002, against Nick Serra, Steve Berger and Sean Sherk. His UFC record is 1-1 with 1 no contest due to early stoppage and suspected illegal blow. Radach originally won this fight against Berger, but the decision was subsequently overturned.

The pair will meet at the already stacked Ocotber 4th event. Here is the current card:

Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson vs. TBA
Champ Jake Shields vs. Paul Daley (for EliteXC welterweight title)
Benji Radach vs. Murilo "Ninja" Rua
Gina Carano vs. Kelly Kobold-Gavin
Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos vs. Yoko Takahashi
