Evergrove Healthcare will host an exclusive, invite-only mixed martial arts event, King of the Cage: Final Option, on Thursday, May 28, 2026, at the Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas. The event brings together leaders in behavioral health and addiction recovery for an evening of elite competition, connection, and purpose-driven storytelling.
Held alongside the West Coast Symposium on Addictive Disorders in nearby Palm Springs, Final Option will feature a full fight card of at least seven bouts produced by King of the Cage, a respected name in MMA.
The evening will also feature appearances and officiating by two of the sport’s most recognized figures, Herb Dean and Mike Beltran, along with a private meet-and-greet for attendees. Doors open at 6:00 PM, with the first fight beginning at 7:00 PM.
A Fight Beyond the Cage
More than a sporting event, Final Option is designed to reflect the deeper battles faced by individuals navigating addiction and mental health challenges. Through the lens of MMA, Evergrove Healthcare highlights the discipline, resilience, and defining choices that shape both fighters and those on the path to recovery.
“Final Option isn’t just a fight — it’s the moment you decide who you become. At Evergrove, we witness that moment every day. This event is about honoring the courage it takes to step forward, to choose a different path, and to fight for your life outside the cage.”
— Jason Rumao, Chief Business Development Officer, Evergrove Healthcare
Where Strength Meets Purpose
The event’s central message — “Strength Isn’t Given. It’s Earned.” — serves as both a tribute to the athletes competing and a reflection of the recovery journey. By aligning the intensity of professional MMA with the mission of behavioral healthcare, Evergrove Healthcare is creating a platform that resonates across both industries.
“Some fights end in the cage. Others change your life forever. Final Option represents that turning point — the realization that even when everything feels lost, there is still a choice, and the right choice can change everything.”
— Josh Hamburg, CEO, Evergrove Healthcare
An Exclusive Industry Experience
Designed as a private gathering for invited guests attending the symposium, the evening will offer a premium, high-energy environment that fosters meaningful connection among healthcare leaders, partners, and stakeholders — while delivering world-class MMA entertainment.
With Final Option, Evergrove Healthcare continues to position itself as an innovator in behavioral health, combining clinical purpose with cultural relevance to create experiences that are both meaningful and memorable.
