Considered to be one of the best Bullfighting event in the business it will also be the highest paying Freestyle of all times. .
Rob Smets organizer of the event states, "I can’t tell you how happy and surprised we were at the number of you that were interested in competing in our event. This has encouraged us to do even more to create a series and a mega-freestyle event in the coming years. We are playing with several ideas and hope to make some announcements soon. The first and foremost change is that we want to make all future events available to all of you that want to compete, without a cut. In other words, we really didn’t like having to leave anyone out and realize that this sport is really catching on and want to provide an opportunity for more athletes to compete. So stay tuned as we try and gather even more money and bring other events into play for 2010."
Contestants will fight their first match on Friday, December 4th. Everyone that wins their one match will fight again on Saturday, December 12th .
