This March will mark the start of the 2011 Shark Fights season. The fourteenth edition of the event is scheduled for the 13th, in the Texan city of Lubbock, and will have as its main attraction the confrontation between the Brazilian Danillo “Indian” Villefort and the North American Matt Horwich.
After being fired from the UFC in 2009, “Índio” went through two different organizations, including Bitetti Combat, until debuting at Shark Fights last September. On that occasion, the Brazilian defeated Joey Villaseñor in the unanimous decision of the judges in a fight valid for the last edition of the event. An American Top Team athlete, the tough guy has a record of 12 wins and three losses, having been undefeated in three fights in his career.
Like the Brazilian, Horwich also has a stint in the UFC. A specialist in submissions, the North American achieved 20 of his 26 career victories via submission. Coming off a knockout victory over his compatriot Jake rosholt No. Xtreme Fight Night – Rosholt vs. Horwich, held last November, Horwich will make his debut at Shark Fights against the Brazilian athlete.
So far, only this confrontation has been confirmed for Shark Fights 14, which will be broadcast for the second time in pay-per-view of the organization since its founding in 2008. Stay tuned here on SUPER FIGHTS to have all the information on world MMA.
