CAGE FIGHTING BRINGS ITS
BATTLE TO THE CHEVROLET CENTRE
Youngstown,
OH- King of the Cage returns to Northeast Ohio after a four year
absence. KOTC brings their mixed martial art fighting to Youngstown's
Chevrolet Centre on Saturday January 17th at 8pm with tickets ranging from
$20- $100 going on sale this Saturday. Four years ago, King of the Cage drew
just under 10,000 fans to the Cleveland Convention Center

CURTIS HALL, CHRIS CANALE vs BRIAN ROGERS, and TONY ABBATE vs MIKE WILKINS;
plus 2 other professional bouts along with 10 amateur matches.
King of the Cage has 43 events booked for their 2009 fight season with a
soft estimate of over 50 fights by years end. King of the Cage promoter Matt
Flynn's promotion Xtreme Cagefighting Championship continues to be the
exclusive feeder league for King of the Cage. Fox Sports Net will be airing
XCC on Dec. 14th. XCC has proven to be another asset to identify even more
up and coming superstars for KOTC events.
As the brainchild of Terry Trebilcock, King of the Cage first started
promoting events almost ten years ago, when mixed martial arts, then known
as No Holds Barred (NHB FIGHTING), was on the verge of extinction.
In the following years, Trebilcock would dodge bullets but steadily
cultivate the promotion into what is now known as one of the largest MMA
institutions in the world.
Today, King of the Cage is available on PPV / In Demand to over 50 million
homes in more than 25 countries. KOTC is also viewed on Fox Sports Net,
which broadcasts to over 200 million homes. King of the Cage is being aired
no less than 178 days per calendar year. Through years of blood, sweat and
tears, King of the Cage has proven to be an integral part in the evolution
of Mixed Martial Arts. No other production has promoted more fights than
King of the Cage.
KOTC has and continues to promote hundreds of shows throughout the world,
including 17 of the United States and far-reaching countries such as:
England, Singapore, Hong Kong, Canada, and Australia. For
King of the Cage has been a career starter and builder for countless stars
as: Forrest Griffin, Quinton Rampage Jackson, Rashad Evans, Krazy Horse,
Keith Berry, Mac Danzig, Paul Buentello, Urijah Faber, Joe Stevenson, Diego
Sanchez, Thiago Alves, as well as legends like Don Frye, Shonie Carter, Dan
Severn, and Vernon "Tiger" White.
Sustainability is the key factor in any production, King of the Cage
continues to operate because of a multitude of key factors with one of the
most important being its allegiance to the fighters and the fans.
King of the Cage is a mixture of several different martial arts, which pits
one person's martial arts style versus another. It is a full contact sport,
which has slowly but surely made its way to the mainstream public and most
importantly into our living rooms everyday.
King of the Cage is the founding father of not only a Sport, but a
Lifestyle!

King of the Cage and Lake of the Torches Resort Casino Announce: KOTC: Rock Solid
King of the Cage and Lake of the Torches Resort Casino Announce Main Events for No Holds Barred Cage Fighting, to be held in Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin on Saturday, July 19th, 2008.
Lac du Flambeau, Wis. – Lake of the Torches Resort Casino will play host to mixed martial arts global powerhouse King of the Cage on Saturday, July 19th, in the Lac du Flambeau Amphitheater – also known as the “Indian Bowl.” Tickets are $35, $65 and $100. For the first time in Wisconsin’s history, the show will be taped for national Pay-Per View.
Local Wisconsin superstar Mike “Six Gun” Sixel returns to defend his zero loss record in his hometown of Wisconsin. Mike has had a few months off to gather himself and make some changes to make sure he is ready for the toughest fight of his career on July 19, 2008. He has left World Famous Team Quest to surround himself with a smaller more personal team that is equally as qualified. He is training out of soon to be World Famous Sports Lab, who was put together by Nate “the rock” Quarry and Greg Thompson.
Going into his fight in July, “Six Gun” said: “I feel like this is going to be one of the most exciting and entertaining fights at the Lake of the Torches yet. I believe this because of two reasons. One is that I am fired up more than ever after coming off of a loss that I was dominating up to the last few seconds. The second is because this will be my greatest challenge yet.”
Terry Trebilecock, President of KOTC commented: “It’s not going to be an easy road for Mike due to his opponent. He is going to be facing a guy that held the record for most wrestling wins in High School in the state of Michigan and also was ranked 19th in the nation in Division 1 Collegiate wrestling out of Michigan. He also has a 6-0 MMA record. You don’t want to miss this one, because all that can be said is there’s going to be fireworks!!!”
In the main event of the night, the KOTC Heavyweight Title will be up for grabs as Josh “Barnyard” Barnes puts his heavyweight belt on the line versus California sensation Tony “Kryptonite” Lopez. Insiders are afraid to guess which way this fight will go…both fighters love to stand in the middle of the cage and bang.
Representing our men and women in uniform and making her debut in the cage will be Sgt. Stefi Schneider, a recruiter in the Wisconsin National Guard. At 155, Sgt. Schneider had been a long practitioner of Pankration with Team USA. She is currently trains with Sixel’s Fight Club out of Eagle River, Wisconsin. Also fighting in the cage from the Fight Club camp will be the popular locals Justin Krumplisch, Jamie Johnson, Shane Cadotte, Ryan White and Sam Alvey. Alvey will be making his professional heavyweight debut after winning the “KOTC: Wisconsin Cage Quest” held this past March.
Michael Broderick, Director of Marketing for Lake of the Torches remarked: “Once again we are excited to hold this event in our beautiful lakeside amphitheater for what will no doubt be a phenomenal night of Mixed Martial Arts knock-outs and submissions.”
Tickets are available online at www.kingofthecage.com or at Player Services at Lake of the Torches Casino. Children 14-17 must be accompanied by an adult.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A Devastating 1-2 Punch:
BIOGENENETIX Partners with King of the Cage
BIOGENETIX™, engineers of the new, scientifically advanced Total Body
Transformation Kit that includes BIOBURN-D2T™, CREATINE-D2T™ and NO-D2T™, is
pleased to announce they are joining forces with King of the Cage (KOTC).
Regarded by many as the most extreme and hardcore alliance in all of mixed
martial arts, KOTC’s partnership with BIOGENETIX makes perfect sense.
“BIOGENETIX guarantees a physique enhancing solution through science,” says
Andrew Smith, Brand Manager for BIOGENETIX. “In fact, BIOGENETIX is all
about science… harnessing its power and developing products to help mixed
martial artists strike harder and last longer. Since KOTC is every bit as
dedicated to its sport as we are to helping its athletes perform at the
highest level, joining forces was a natural conclusion. We are thrilled to
have the endorsement of world class athletes such as Aaron Witherspoon, the
current KOTC welterweight champion.”
“KOTC is truly an International entity”, says Terry Trebilcock, owner of
KOTC, referring to their presence in Singapore, Australia, the United
Kingdom, Canada and the USA”. “KOTC represents The Evolution of Combat,”
continues Trebilcock. “We take great pride in offering some of the most
hardcore and intense mixed martial arts competitions in the world.
BIOGENETIX is committed to providing the very best supplements to our
amazing athletes, so when the opportunity of teaming up came about, I didn’t
hesitate.”
Both KOTC and BIOGENETIX embody strength, speed and endurance. “It’s all
about hitting harder and lasting longer” says Nathan Hinks, Assistant Brand
Manager for BIOGENETIX. “And the power of Deca-Delivery Technology (D2T™),
which every BIOGENETIX formula uses, is definitely a means in which to help
KOTC fighters achieve just that.”
The partnership between BIOGENETIX and KOTC will extend beyond traditional
branding opportunities at KOTC events and the usage of KOTC fighters to
promote the BIOGENETIX brand. Says Hinks, “The various programs we are
planning will not only immerse consumers into the BIOGENETIX and KOTC
brands, but will also integrate the two brand experiences and include GNC,
our exclusive Distribution partner”.
Whether you’re an ultimate fighter battling in the cage, a bodybuilder
competing on stage, or a power athlete looking for that edge on the field,
the rewards BIOGENETIX have to offer are phenomenal. That’s why BIOGENETIX
continues to engineer groundbreaking products to help you get in the best
shape of your life.
