While EliteXC and Showtime have yet to make an official announcement, preparations are already underway for the next ShoXC event, which is currently expected to take place in New Jersey on Dec. 7.
While no fights have formally been signed for the event, FiveOuncesOfPain.com has learned that a proposed main event between Cage Rage welterweight champion Paul Daley and Jose Rodriguez is being discussed.
The bulk of the undercard would primarily be comprised of some of the top undiscovered talent from the Northeast corridor of the U.S.
FiveOuncesOfPain.com has also learned that promoters are trying to secure bout agreements for a match Jim Bova vs. Wilson Reis and also Aaron Miesner and Zach Mavosky in separate bouts.
Miesner and Makovsky are top prospects that train out of separate fight camps in Philadelphia.
Matt Cava and I went up to Trenton, NJ this past Saturday to check out Combat in the Cage. As I’ve said before, there are a lot of fighters who compete forEd Hsu’sCombat in the Cage/Extreme Challenge Northeast that you’ll be seeing on the big shows in the not too distant future.
One of those fighters I have no doubt that you’ll be seeing more of is Wilson Reis.
Despite being on 22, Wilson is already a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu and is an instructor at Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu United in Philadelphia. I train at BJJ United when I have free time, which is almost never, but I’ve attended a few of his classes and his skills are sick.
Below is video of his second pro fight from this past weekend’s event. He’s in the red trunks and you’ll notice that his opponent, Diego Jimenez, doesn’t get much offense in. Well, Jimenez is a strong fighter who trains out of Anthracite Combat Club in Minersville, PA with pros such as Jim Bova, Jon Murphy, and Shane Ott. Basically, Jimenez is no joke and Reis was able to earn a win in impressive fashion against a quality opponent.
