Ninja claims he'll be fighting again for EliteXC in March

In a new interview with PunchDrunkGamer.com, former EliteXC middleweight champion Murilo "Ninja" Rua claims his next fight for EliteXC could come in March:

PDG: When will NINJA fans get to see you in action again?

Ninja: Probably in EliteXC, next March in USA.

As of now, March is scheduled to be a ShoXC card, with California rumored as a possible destination.

On the surface, it would seem unlikely that Rua would appear on ShoXC, which has been promoted as more of a proving ground for EliteXC's lesser established fighters. However, it's always possible that Rua might be used in a headlining role. 

In the interview, Rua also discusses about fighting for Cage Rage again in July:

PDG: Anything else as far as appearances or events that you will be involved in the near future that you would your fans to know about?

Ninja: I will be looking to get the Cage Rage belt next July and maybe a participation in a movie in USA. Mauricio and Myself were invited to make part of a movie about MMA and we are very excited with the idea. This is a totally different thing to me and I'm sure that it could be a great opportunity. We are discussing some details but very soon we will have news for our fans. Thanks again to all my fans and I will be back in the cage soon.
