HDNet Fights Video Vault: Jake Rosholt vs. Matt Horwich at Shark Fights 17
In a bonus edition of HDNet Fights Video Vault, we take a look back at a recent Shark Fights 17 headliner between UFC veteran Jake Rosholt and Matt Horwich.
The fight took place back in July and aired on HDNet.
The hard-fought contest saw Rosholt returning from a no-contest result and hoping to win his fifth-straight official contest facing Horwich, a more experienced veteran of the sport looking to replicate his November 2010 win over the wrestling standout.
Each week HDNet and MMAjunkie.com release a new and exclusive fight from the ever-growing HDNet Fights video library. Stunning knockouts, slick submissions, shocking finishes and legendary brawls are the norm for this weekly feature.
Rosholt vs. Horwich is no exception.
Rosholt (11-3 at the time) was fighting for the first time since battering John Ott for three rounds at Titan Fighting Championship 18 but initially losing via disqualification when an illegal knee landed with just 37 seconds remaining in the bout. The result was eventually overturned to a no contest, and Rosholt was looking to extend his win streak en route to another shot in the UFC.
Meanwhile, Horwich (26-19-1 at the time) boasted a massive edge in experience, as well as the confidence of a prior win over his foe. But "Suave" had struggled with consistency in prior fights and hasn't posted consecutive victories since 2007.
So which big-show vet would get the victory?
