Xtreme Couture’s Jay White (2-5) will take on Chase Gormley (6-0) at Affliction’s encore show "Day of Reckoning" on October 11th at the Thomas & Mack Center in Vegas. The preliminary fight, which will air on the HDNet portion of the card, was announced by White’s sponsor, Throwdown Industries. The fight will be White’s first of a three fight deal he signed with the fledgling MMA promotion. While the 6′3 260lb heavyweight’s pro career has gotten off to a rocky start, he has battled some of the sports best during his short career and only loss to top notch fighters such as UFC veterans Jeff Monson, Jake O’Brien, and Christian Wellisch. |

White is coming off a submission victory over Patrick Castillo at HDNet Fights "Reckless Abandon" back in December of last year. Jay will have his work cut out for him as he battles the undefeated Chase Gormley who has won six straight since beginning his pro career back in April of 07. Chase is coming off of an impressive win over 340lb Eric "Big" Pele at Maximum Fighting Championships 16 "Anger Management" in May of this year. He defeated the heavy handed Pele via unanimous decision. Affliction’s "Day of Reckoning" card is starting to fill out as this makes a total of 10 unconfirmed bouts for the October 11th show including a couple more fighters who still lack opponents. The main event features a number one contender bout between former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski and Josh Barnett. The winner will take on Fedor in a future WAMMA title bout. |
