History of King of The Ring King of the Ring was started with an idea from Mountain MMA, at that moment run by Garbon Meqvabishvili, to help new fighters get noticed and make money fighting. The King of the Ring's very first event was an eight-man tournament with many established fighters taking part. It was former IFC heavyweight champion "Rafford Mann" who eventually went on to win all three fights in one night to be crowned the inaugural "King of The Ring". The second King of the Ring Grand Prix took place in ULSA where also 8 new faces competed for a huge cash prize and a chance at a professional contract. The outcome became clear when Jackson Hayes knocked out all of his opponents and became the second King of the Ring champion in history. Following its evolution into its own entity, KOTR began hosting large-scale events in various venues around Los Santos. One of its primary locations was Fantasia.
