from ProElite.com

ShoXC returns to the Chumash Casino Resort in Santa Ynez, Calif. on September 26th for another showcase of upcoming talent looking to earn their way onto EliteXC fight cards, or in the case of one fighter, return to EliteXC fight cards.

In the first of two matchups confirmed for ShoXC, the undefeated Shane Del Rosario (4-0) takes on Jon Murphy (4-3).

Shane Del Rosario is a strong prospect in not one, but two combat sports. To compliment his MMA career, Del Rosario is an active professional Muay Thai fighter and is 5-1 (five knockouts). This will be Shane's third appearance on ShoXC.

Jon Murphy, while looking to get back on the winning track, will be Del Rosario's biggest test to date. Murphy has won via KO in ShoXC and was last in action at EliteXC "Primetime" on CBS, where he engaged in a slugfest with Brett Rogers.

The second matchup confirmed for ShoXC features the popular and talented Erik "Bad" Apple (9-1) vs. undefeated Matt Makowski (3-0).

Apple has built his impressive record in a handful of West Coast organizations, winning titles along the way. While Makowski has spent time growing his name on the East Coast-- including a dominating win over Nick Serra.

Tickets for the event, which range from $35 to $175, are now on sale at startickets.com.
