For the first time ever, The King of the Cage is coming to Belterra, IN on Saturday, November 20, at 8 p.m.

at the Belterra Casino Resort & Spa.

Fight fans will experience a hard-hitting, 12-match card featuring the world ’s toughest, most skilled fighters,

goes.

who is the biggest name in the history of Mixed Martial Arts Fighting (MMA.) Gracie himself will walk Clinton

in to the ring for his fight vs. Shonie Carter.

Carter is one of the most successful MMA fighters in the world with more than 100 fights. He has fought in

more than four different weigh classes from heavy weight to middle weight. With more than 90 wins, Carter is

known to fight anytime time and any place.

Asked about the upcoming bout, Carter said “Buddy is just another young guy trying to make a name for

himself by taking away my prize money.” “That kid was in diapers when I fought my first fight. Now it is time

to send him home to his mommy. It is time for a changin’.”

The undercard promises to be outstanding and action packed, featuring fighters from around the country and

around the world. International sensation Arfael Dias from Brazil and the Brazilian Top Team will take on

Jake Short from Detroit. With 12 matches and no intermission, the Belterra event promises to offer non-stop
