Guangdong's Southern Styles; Not Cleaning up at Tian He?

[TAO YIN]

Although I haven't been there in a while, I remember the Friday fight nights there.

You all know the place! Tian He Sports Stadium just across the street from Starbucks (BWAHAHAHA!), at the Tiyu Dong Lu Subway Stop.

Just curious, why have none of big schools in Guangzhou now been cleaning up at fight nights in that there Cage? Even the schools near Tian He haven't, and didn't while I was there. Still apparently, it's Muay Thai guys, Judo guys, and Muay Thai guys. What's up with that?
