King of the Cage – Protégé
March 22, 2008 Avi Casino & Resort Laughlin Nevada

Not like you need another reason to come to the River in Beautiful Laughlin Nevada just outside Fort Mohave Arizona. This is the third show King of the Cage has put on here in Laughlin Nevada. You need to schedule the entire weekend when coming to the AVI Casino and Resort as you have several different options such as water ski, fishing, boating, gambling, movies, dinning, sports book, bowling alley five minutes across the bridge in Fort Mohave Arizona.

Now to get the real action, King of the Cage is now having Amateur fights and pro fights. Pro Fighters get paid to fight and Amateur fighters do not get paid. It is a good way to gain valuable experience prior to going pro. Shingo Kashiwagi is considering putting on an Amateur tournament of Amateurs that have had a few fights and the winner would take it all and get a shot at a Pro debut. I think King of the Cage is doing great things with the Amateur fighters in helping them step up to Pro level. Once you make any money off of a fight you are considered a Pro fighter and you can not compete as an Amateur after you have received money to fight.

Well it was a full house here at the AVI Casino and Resort to see a night of great fights.
