» Fighter: Josh Souder

“Pitbull” Josh Souder (7-6) talked exclusively to Fighters.com about his fight versus Matt Traylor (2-0) at MMA Big Show: Mayhem at Belterra Casino 12 September.

MMA Big Show: Mayhem kicks off at 7:00 PM Saturday at Belterra Casino and tickets starting at $25 can be bought at Ticketmaster. Fighters.com will be live at Belterra Casino to report all the action Saturday night.

Middleweight “Mojo” William Horne (3-1) will bounce off his first loss – a TKO by John Troyer (4-3) for the MMA Big Show middleweight strap at Belterra Casino last June – to take on “Bubba” Robert McDaniel (13-5) at MMA Big Show: Mayhem at Belterra Casino 12 September, Fighters.com confirmed with MMA Big Show promoter Jason Appleton Sunday.

McDaniel tapped Chris Spicer (4-2) in a rear naked choke at Bellator 5 in Corpus Christi 8 May. His claim to fame is pulling the same technique to expose “Kolohe” Kala Hose (7-1) in 41 seconds at EliteXC in Honolulu in June 2008.

Horne’s cache comes from a three-round unanimous decision over The Ultimate Fighter finalist “Bring the Pain” Josh Haynes (12-9) at MMA Big Show at Belterra Casino in May 2008.
