EliteXC has announced that James "The Colossus" Thompson will face undefeated heavyweight Brett Rogers on the undercard of the promotion's February 16 show in Miami, Florida that's scheduled to be headlined by Kimbo Slice vs. Tank Abbott.

The promotion has also announced that Charles "Krazy Horse" Bennett has been added to the undercard against an opponent yet to be announced. Bennett is a Florida native, hailing from Ocala. 

Bennett, 19-14-2, will be fighting for EliteXC for the first time since a disappointing loss to Victor Valenzuela during August's ShoXC event. Bennett tapped due to strikes at 3:23 of round 1 in what had been promoted as a heated grudge match.

Bennett rebounded from the loss with a submission victory via rear naked choke over Donnie Martinez during a King of the Cage show in October.

Thompson, 14-7, will be debuting for the promotion on the show. He has not fought since an upset knockout loss against Britian's Neil Grove at Cage Rage 22 in July. Since the loss, Thompson has begun training at Randy Couture's Xtreme Couture gym in Las Vegas.

Rogers, 5-0, made his EliteXC debut at "Renegade" in Corpus Christi, Texas in November, defeating Ralph Kelly via submission due to strikes at 1:43 of round 1.
