History

The first EliteXC event ("Destiny") was announced unnamed on November 13, 2006. The fight card was finalized with less than one month to go before the debut event. The televised portion of the fight card included the return of MMA veterans Frank Shamrock and Renzo Gracie in the main event. The show also featured the first female MMA event aired live on television between Gina Carano and Julie Kedzie.^[2]

The undercard of EliteXC Destiny was streamed free of charge on Proelite.com and ivtasp.com starting at 7 p.m. EST. Heavy site traffic stopped a number of fans from viewing the fight, but many others were able to successfully view the event. As well, an "online chat" that was displayed under the message board, but numerous users complained in various message boards that their comments were not getting through and that the comments that were getting through were either "plants" or hand-selected to be pro-EliteXC.

The event drew a 1.62 household rating on Showtime.^[3]
