In the early days of professional fist fighting, Groups of fighters would travel from town to town challenging the local men. The fighters would arrange a few of the spectators in a circle and have them hold a ring of rope. Any man wishing to challenge one of the boxers would "toss his hat into the ring." The bout would then take place in this early boxing "ring."
As the number of spectators increased, the hand-held ring no longer sufficed, and it became necessary to fashion an enclosure by attaching ropes to stakes driven into the ground. Four stakes were normally used, which produced a square enclosure, but it continued to be called a boxing ring.
Isn't google great? |

Cage fighting is different - the Cage is intrinsic to the contest. |

'Finally' - the clue is in the question.
If you'd got your head together sooner, your body would be in better shape."
Sad I know, but I can only work with the tools I was given.  |
