Getting to Bakersfield from Hanford
From Hanford it is 198 to 99 and about fifty minutes toward Fresno, an easy round trip for a full night of bare-knuckle.
Kings County is small on paper and outsized at the gate. Hanford groups routinely buy ten and twenty seats at a time, and they show up for the prelims, which matters more than anyone admits, because prelim fighters fight better in a full room.
