The cockfighting was being held in a gymnasium-like venue on the outskirts of Ubud. The stands were filled with spectators and overflowing with enthusiasm. Cockfighting seems to be a male thing, and there were few women in the audience.

A man wearing a bandana was squatting in a stadium-like space set up in the middle of the venue. He is holding his own fighting cock in his hand. He is waiting for the cockfighting to begin while keeping the cockfighters' bloodlust under control.

I had a feeling that the cockfighting arena was filled with excitement not only because of the large number of spectators. As I looked around the bleachers, I saw people exchanging money. It seems that cockfighting is not just a pastime for the locals, but is also a good form of gambling.
