Jeremy Horn vs Jake Rosholt on tap for KOTC event in Detroit, MI on April 16

A match-up of UFC veterans between mixed martial arts legend Jeremy Horn and up-and-comer Jake Rosholt appears to be set for the upcoming King of the Cage (KOTC) event from Detroit, Mich., on April 16.
Rosholt tweeted the news earlier tonight.
Rosholt (7-2) and Horn (84-19-5) have both compiled an undefeated record since their recent UFC release; 1-0 and 4-0 respectively.
The act by the UFC of cutting Rosholt following his submission loss to Kendall Grove at UFC 106 was a surprise to many at the time, but the four-time All-American wrestler from Oklahoma State University rebounded nicely last weekend with a submission victory of his own over Rudy Lindsey at a X-Treme Fighting League event.
The 27-year-old went 1-2 under the UFC banner -- defeating Chris Leben while dropping bouts to Dan Miller along with the aforementioned Grove -- after winning his one and only fight in the WEC before their middleweight division folded.
Horn, seven years the elder of his KOTC adversary, is a veteran of more than 100 professional mixed martial arts contests, spanning the course of 14 years, and will be coming into the bout riding a four-fight win streak with each fight ending via submission in the opening frame.
"Gumby" is of course known for his submission game, as over half of his victories have ended with his opponent tapping out.
Jeremy will have the clear advantage in that aspect of the match considering Jake's only two defeats have come due to submission.
The King of the Cage event will air live on HDNet from Cobo Arena on Friday, April 16, from Detroit, Michigan.

I think Horn still has enough in his bag to tie Jake “Rocky Dennis” Rosholt in knots.
The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful
Rocky Dennis
That is wrong, but funny. Also shows your age! (and mine)

Yep.

because he's been doing this for 14 years and he's only just won his first title
in a crappy promotion that nobody follows. He’s beating sucky guys, not earning much of a following, can’t be earning all that much of a living.
Fedor with a gun... ULTIMATE DANGER!!!

Jens yes
Horn has won his last 4 and apparently is still very active
"6'1' 240lbs of solid steel and sex appeal...Garyyyy Goodridge!"
favorite ring intro ever!
Jens and Horn are completely different
Horn still fights 6 or 7 times a year, and he does not have a brawling style the way Jens does. Even though he has over 100 fights, he has not taken the same amount of damage as a guy like Jens, Lidell, Wandy etc…the brawlers. Plus, Horn is still winning. No reason for him to retire if his health is not at risk and he can still be competitive somewhere.

glad to see Rosholt taking about as difficult a fight as you can find in the cental/midwestern united states. Beat Horn and he should probably get another shot at the big time
Goldie: "Michael Jordan-esque in his grappling skills is Travis Lutter."
Rogan: "No, no he's not. No."
I feel bad for Jake
Considering that Leben is still in the UFC after getting dominated by Rosholt it was a strange decision to cut him. A convincing win over Gumby should earn him another shot in a good promotion.
"Not a lot of professional sports down here (in Australia)"
"We just had our best season (of TUF) last season and it was season 10"
"Nogueira is probabaly the best HW of all time"
Dana White, proving that he's clueless about Australian sports, has never heard of Fedor and is still trying to hype up TUF 10.

yea..it makes ya scratch your head sometimes
but its all about the money and theyd rather have a mediocre fighter that is marketable and recognized than a skilled fighter who isnt marketable…thats one of the things holding the sport back, and why some see it as a joke…its something af a popularity contest in some aspects, and it needs to change for more people to take it seriously

Jake made his choice to be a featured fighter apparently, and we all saw how it went. The rumors were that he did not want to ease into the UFC once WEC folded the upper weight classes. He went right for the big boys.
