King of the Cage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

King of the Cage (or KOTC) is a mixed martial arts (MMA) organization based in the United States that was created in 1998 by owner Terry Trebilcock. Viewed as a minor circuit, King of the Cage features up and coming MMA stars (as well as veterans) who eventually go on to either UFC or PRIDE^{[citation needed]}. KOTC is known to host events almost exclusively at Indian gaming casinos.
