Muller crowned King of the Cage

Defending Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) King of the Cage title holder Paul Kubannek had to hand his champion belt to Josh Muller who was crowned as King of the Cage at the Tini Eksteen Memorial Challenge on Friday evening.
About 150 MMA fans flocked to Eksteen’s Dojo to witness the ultimate battle between fighters in several categories and the main card attraction of the World International Martial Arts Association & Organisation (Wimaao) Last Man Standing.
The event catered for all hoping to see some good fighting spirit. Some of the fights went well into minute mark while others lasted only seconds as a result of knock-outs or tap-out.
“Muller is not only walking away with the South African Wimaao championship belt but also R6 000 cash after defeating two other opponents in the Last Man Standing battle. He first met with defending title holder Paul Kubannek taking the win after some serious fighting action. In the final he met with Byron Botha whom he had to fight twice and successfully claimed victory in the end,” Eksteen’s Dojo owner Henri Eksteen said.
He added that the event was successful and thanked the supporters.
