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.

Mayhem will be headlined by a lightweight fight between Team Jorge Gurgel‘s “Pitbull” Josh Souder (7-6), a one-time IFL vet, and Matt Traylor (2-0).

“Pitbull” comes in after losing a three-round UD to Jason Meaders (7-5) at Pryme Time MMA in Los Angeles 28 May.

Traylor TKO’d Clay Harvison (6-3) in 2:08 at KoKings MMA in Atlanta 20 June.

Tickets can be bought at Ticketmaster. Fighters.com will be live at Belterra Casino to report all the action 12 September.
