Bellator is pulling out all the stops for this Saturday’s MMA/kickboxing event in San Jose, bringing the “Flying Cage” with them to the SAP Center.
The cage, which is trademarked by the promotion, allows it to be lifted to transform between MMA fights and kickboxing matches. The entire process takes less than 15 minutes.
Previously, Bellator used the cage in Italy and Hungary for dual events. This marks the first time it will be used in the U.S.
