(PRESS RELEASE) -- Rancho Cucamonga, CA MAVTV has signed an
agreement with The Hollywood Channel to produce a new television
MMA reality series based on King of the Cage titled Common Joe...Do
you have what it takes?. The show is set to air on MAVTV, which
currently airs more than 8 hours each week of unstoppable King of
the Cage action. Common Joe is the only show of its kind that gives

"Mixed Martial Arts is probably the most difficult sport for an amateur to become a professional. There is no minor league system that exists for MMA, as in basketball, baseball or hockey. Some of the most physically-gifted and fascinating athletes in the world fight for King of the Cage, and I believe they make ideal subjects for an innovative new television series," stated Terry Trebilcock, CEO and Founder of King of the Cage.
"Common Joe will explore the blood, sweat and tears, courage, instinct, perseverance, strength and tenacity needed to become a professional MMA fighter. The concept of this ground-breaking new series will broadly appeal to not only mixed martial arts fans, but to reality show enthusiasts as well," stated Jason Patison, MAVTV's Director, Programming.
About King of the Cage 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 every day. Today, King of the Cage is available weekly to over 50 million homes in the United States on cable and satellite television and also airs in more than 60 countries worldwide which include Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Mongolia, Thailand, South Africa, and most of Europe to name a few. After performing 400+ events 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, South Africa, Canada, Japan, and Australia. King of the Cage has been a career staple for countless stars: Forrest Griffin, Quinton Rampage Jackson, Rashad Evans, Ronda Rousey, Krazy Horse, Keith Jardine, Mac Danzig, Urijah Faber, Joe Stevenson, and Diego Sanchez. 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 one of the founding fathers of not only a Sport but also a Lifestyle! http://www.kingofthecage.com
