Minneapolis welterweight Sammy Morgan will make his second appearance for EliteXC on Friday when he faces Brazilian Fabricio Camoes (8-4) at ShoXC 7 live on Showtime. Morgan (19-10) lost his debut for the ProElite promotion at the January 25 ShoXC 4 card against top contender Paul Daley.
Camoes won his debut for EliteXC at ShoXC 6 on April 25, defeating current King Of The Cage Jr. Welterweight (160 lbs.) champion Joe Camacho.
The 27-year old Morgan, who trains with Team Bison, is looking to snap a 2-fight losing streak. Morgan lost to current Strikeforce Middleweight champion Cung Le on November 16, 2007. He has fought other well known fighters such as Forrest Petz, Shannon Ritch, Josh Burkman, Duane Ludwig, Manny Gamburyan, and Aaron Riley.
Be sure to tune into Showtime on Friday night at 10 PM.

Rogers wins on CBS
On May 31, Team Bison heavyweight fighter Brett Rogers remained undefeated by defeating Jon Murphy on the premiere broadcast of EliteXC Saturday Night Fights on CBS.
Rogers (7-0) connected with an uppercut to the jaw of Murphy (4-3) and followed him to the mat before the referee stopped the bout just 1:01 into the first round. It was the first televised fight in the history of MMA on primetime network television.
At the post-fight press conference, Rogers called out event headliner Kimbo Slice (3-0) who had a hard-fought 3rd round TKO victory over James Thompson. The same James Thompson that Rogers defeated by KO in just over two minutes three months ago.
"Everybody saw the fight today," Rogers said. "A man is a man and what I saw today was garbage."
Slice was losing on all three judges scorecards going into the final round of the fight with Thompson.
"That sounds like a challenge," Slice said as he and Rogers faced off on both sides of EliteXC promoter Gary Shaw before calmer heads prevailed.
