King of the Cage First Arizona Show

Apache Gold Casino and Resort, Globe, AZ.
After a 5 hour drive through the rural country of the back woods of Arizona, I finally arrived at the casino.  You could just tell this was going to be an electrifying night of fights with the main event being a rematch between Gabe Rivas and Charles "Krazy Horse" Bennett. In the first fight that was ruled a draw, Rivas and Krazy Horse went toe to toe with Rivas winning the stand up battle and Krazy Horse winning the ground game as he took down Rivas at will.  This rematch I do not see it going more then two rounds as I see a KO coming.3000+ fans turned out to this show located in a rural area in the middle of nowhere. You have to go through the mountains as if you were in Big Bear, CA. Elevation is at around 6500 Feet.  They do have a super Walmart though, (laughs).  The Apache Gold Casino and Resort is a great place for a get away for the whole family as they offer restaurants, swimming, gambling, hiking, and boating, just to name a few things to do. This would depend on where you live as you do a lot of these things in Laughlin or Vegas.  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 a cage fight as you can have. It was just an all around great night of fun. Then you have the Casino for a little gambling. This was the first time I've seen two DQ's and so many Rear Naked Choke submissions.
