Cagewarriors Ultimate Force Announce A Change Of Venue For Their April 30th Ultimate Fighting/Mixed Martial Arts Show

Cagewarriors Ultimate Force, the new and exciting Cagewarriors Northern Franchise has been forced to move to the Sheffield Octagon Centre on the 30th April, after the Xs!te Centre (part of the Xscape Centre)was refused a fire certificate.

(PRWEB) April 24, 2005 -- Due to unfortunate and unforeseen circumstances Cagewarriors: Ultimate Force will not be taking place at the Xscape centre in Castleford as originally announced. Instead it will now be taking place at the Sheffield Octagon Centre which has previously held Cagewarriors 8, 9 and Cagewarriors Quest.

We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused and will do everything in our power to ensure this event runs as smoothly as possible. Although there are plans afoot to coach people who have purchased VIP tables to the Octagon centre in an effort to minimise the disruption caused and Cagewarriors management will be hiring extra catering and bar staff.

The reason for the change was due to the brand new Xsite centre (which is part of the Xscape centre complex) receiving a Magistrates visit on Monday in which it was refused a fire certificate and meant that it was not allowed to be opened to the public. It was hoped that this could be rectified with a return visit but Cagewarriors.com has just learnt that this is not possible until the 5th May. This has resulted in the venues opening being delayed and Cagewarriors officials were left with the dilemma of either cancelling the show or finding another venue. (For an official press release by the Xsite management team please go to http://www.cagewarriors.com/page.asp?ID=919)

The Cagewarriors Fighting Championships are naturally disappointed by this situation as we were given numerous reassurances from the Xscape centre management that this arena would be operational by April 30th and we were only aware of a potential problem late on Wednesday. We would like to stress that we have done everything in our power to avoid moving venues and even contacted the appropriate authorities in order to stay at the original venue on April 30th however we had no success.

Normally a disaster of this magnitude would destroy a promotion or an event; however the Cagewarriors Fighting Championships are no strangers to adversary and as a result, we were able to find another top class venue which has previous experience in this field.

Cagewarriors now hope to offer another great night of Mixed Martial Arts at the Sheffield Octagon Centre, which may not be as hi-tec as the Xscape centre but still offers a great view for the fans in attendance and an intense atmosphere to boot which features Tengiz Tedorazde from nearby Barnsley in the main event as he looks to reclaim the CWFC Heavyweight Title from the American Jeff The Snowman" Monson. Monson took the Cagewarriors Heavyweight Title off The Barnsley Gladiator" at Cagewarriors 9 Xtreme Xmas at the Octagon Centre last December and is now back to defend it and extend his impressive win streak to 9 fights in a row.

There will be more announcements this weekend as the Cagewarriors.com news team receive more information on this shocking incident. So in the meantime keep logged on Cagewarriors.com for all the latest information including an updated card as the Cagewarriors Fighting Championships get ready to present Ultimate Force" at the Sheffield Octagon Centre on Saturday 30th April 2005.
