Well after a 4 hour drive from Lake Havasu City Arizona to Hemet California, we have the weigh-in with all the fighters checking in at the hotel. I do not think the average fan or fighter understands what it takes to run successful shows. You always have a fighter that can not make a scheduled fight for one reason or another. Then you have the money for selling the tickets that has to be paid the night before the event. This is a business and without ticket sales you have no shows! Terry Trebilcock and Ted Williams are scrambling to collect ticket money and making sure all the fighters have checked in and weighed in.
King of the Cage is now putting on several shows per year in both Southern and Northern California, Arizona, New Mexico, Cleveland, Canada, Australia, and the UK. KOTC is also now on Pay Per View, making King of the Cage one of the biggest Mixed Martial Arts events in the world.
San Jacinto California Sunday June 12, 2005 with 18 scheduled fights you knew this was going to be an exciting night of fights. The crowd was electrifying and into the fights the entire night through all 18 fights, this was a show that was worth the price of admission with submissions, knockouts, and not one fight going the distance. The night had several knockouts. There was tons of hot looking ladies in the crowd. The after party at the night club and the blackjack tables were full of fight fans. KOTC really has great shows.
My take on the night of fights was that it was more then worth the $40 general admission as we had just about every way of winning in a cage fight as you can have. Most organizations only have around 8 fights a night, while KOTC usually has between 15-18 fights. It was just an all around great night of fun and King of the Cage owner Terry Trebilcock also has a little after party for the fighters with food and soft drinks. Then you have the night club which is a big party that includes dancing and of course the casino gambling.
Props to Terry Trebilcock and Ted Williams for yet another great show!
