I get a
phone call telling me that Jamie "El Cucui" Jara signs a 6 fight
contract with King of the Cage. For those of you who don’t know
Jamie, you soon will. He is a tatted up warrior with a bit of wild
in his eyes and a genuine nice guy that is a future MMA-KO Hall of
Famer.
Next I’m told that they will be bringing KOTC to the Silver
Legacy in Reno. "What? No way!" I was stoked. I have been covering
Northern Nevada for almost a year and shows are hard to come by out
here. This is huge, KOTC in my own backyard. Jeff the Gallion
Stallion makes a few phone calls comes through big time. We’re in!
This is old news but for those of you who don’t know: Mark
Burnett who has produced shows like Survivor and Are You Smarter
Than a 5th Grader has invested in King of the Cage and they have
since inked a deal with HDnet. Terry Trebilcock has brought KOTC
from tennis courts to PPV and is now rubbing elbows with the likes
of Mark Burnett and Mark Cuban. Wow!
In closing this reporter/fanatic would like to thank all those
involved in allowing MMA-KO to be a part of what is sure to be a
mark in the time line of MMA.
See you there! – Eric "MoneyShot" Morrison.
