King of the Cage - Two More Sold Out Shows - Philippines Next!






FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



King of the Cage Sells Out Back-to-Back Shows with 2 Stellar Heavyweight Main Events

Rancho Cucamonga, CA (June 27, 2013). King of the Cage sells out back to back shows at both Coeur D’Alene Casino in Idaho and the Sunshine Theater in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Worley, Idaho - KOTC sold out early for another show on June 13 at the Coeur D’Alene Casino. The main event was a highly anticipated re- match between long running World Champion Tony Lopez and International star Trevor Prangley.  Prangley rushed the pace forcing a furious 2 round fight that ended with Tony Lopez making a mistake and Trevor Prangley capitalizing to get the submission win, late in round two.  The crowd went into a frenzy as their local hero Prangley retained his world title in a bout that was determined by both fighters would not ultimately go to the judges’ score cards.

Albuquerque, NM – On June 22, KOTC sold out early and hosts a spectacular main event where Cody East was able to take down Nick Rossborough in an impressive 25 minute war. East dropped Rossborough on 2 occasions before bringing the belt home to his suburban area of Albuquerque in Los Lunas.

Both shows were early sell outs and both main events were spectacular, prompting casino management from multiple casinos in the New Mexico market to make a bid for future KOTC events at their properties in New Mexico. Rumors have it that KOTC will have one or more of these casinos inked with 3 to 4 fight deal for the next three years shortly.

All the action takes place at the 15,000-seater Istora Senayan in what is expected to be the biggest fight card the country has ever seen. 

CEO of ONE Fighting Championship™ Victor Cui stated, “ONE FC will be back in Jakarta on 13 September with a stacked fight card that is sure to get the adrenaline pumping for the passionate Indonesian fight fans.

Yasuhiro Urushitani is one of the most respected mixed martial artists in the Flyweight division. He has fought all over the world and is a former Shooto Bantamweight Champion who is renowned for his accurate counter strikes and slick submissions. Since his debut in 2001, he has racked up a record of 20 wins, six losses, and six draws. He earned his ONE FC title shot by defeating Filipino standout Rey Docyogen in Manila on 31 May. He is set to face another former Shooto Bantamweight Champion in Shinichi Kojima to determine the king of the Asian Flyweight division.

Urushitani and Kojima have already fought each other twice, with both fights ending in a draw. This rubber match will crown a new world champion and determine the winner of their trilogy. Kojima is one of the best Flyweights in the world. He had a three-year undefeated streak while he was Shooto Bantamweight Champion and has been ranked as the best in the world in his weight class. He submitted Rey Docyogen in Kuala Lumpur on 2 February and has been eagerly awaiting his shot at the coveted ONE FC World Championship title.  

Vincent Majid is a national Judo champion, a four-time submission grappling champion and is ranked top 10 in his weight class at combat sambo.  Known as “Jack Hammer” because of the power with which he hits, Majid is tipped to score some spectacular stoppages in the ONE FC cage and this Indonesian giant will be looking to get his professional career off to the best possible start on 13 September to prove that he is a serious contender for the first ever ONE FC Light Heavyweight World Championship title.

Eugenio Tan was born and raised in Malaysia but is of mixed parentage with his father hailing from the mountains of Baguio in the Philippines. He has a strong base in boxing and has also developed his skills in Muay Thai. He has never been stopped or submitted and with three fights under his belt already, he is gaining a reputation as one of the best light heavyweights in Malaysia.

Stefer Rahardian is a BJJ phenomenon who has won numerous medals at submission grappling competitions and is already a familiar face on the podium having frequently claimed gold medals in grappling tournaments competing at well above his natural weight. He trains under Indonesia’s legendary grappling coach Niko Han, Indonesia’s first ever BJJ black belt at the vaunted Synergy gym in Jakarta.

Raymond Tan is a founding member of Penang Top Team and ranked as one of the best Bantamweights in Malaysia. He initially began training in Taekwondo before he moved into mixed martial arts as he grew older. He will be looking to use his long reach to devastating effect with crisp striking and signature kicks when he faces Stefer Rahardian on 13 September in Jakarta.
