Check out the 'Bellator Flying Cage' that will descend upon Bellator 183 on Saturday

We’ve seen cages and rings in every shape and size, but Bellator will have a special apparatus at Saturday’s Bellator 183 event.

Officials today announced the U.S. debut of the “Bellator Flying Cage” (yes, they trademarked the name). It will allow the event to transition from MMA to kickboxing bouts during the Spike-televised hybrid card (Bellator 183 and Bellator Kickboxing 7).

Check out the video above.

Here’s how Bellator officials describe it:

A must-see spectacle, the steel structure is suspended from above and lowered to the platform beneath allowing the Bellator Kickboxing ring to completely transform into the Bellator MMA cage in less than 15 minutes. Having been featured at previous events in Florence, Italy, Torino, Italy and Budapest, Hungary, the Flying Cage has never before been utilized in the United States. Bellator is proud to bring this unique experience to its Bay Area home at SAP Center in San Jose, Calif. on September 23.
