Give me your opinion about these Match ups.

70kg Max

Chris Ngimbi vs Andy Souwer








Baukaw Por Pramuk vs Giorgio Petrosyan








Arthur Kyshenko vs Hafid El Boustati







Super Heavy Weight

Alistair Overeem vs Semmy Schilt

Tyrone Spong vs Gokhan Saki

Badr Hari vs Daniel Ghita

Chris Ngimbi vs Andy Souwer

Ngimbi has looked incredible lately, a much improved fighter on a hotstreak. That said, I think Souwer is the more experienced fighter and is on a run of his own. I Favor Souwer in this fight, being the more experienced and better technician.

Baukaw Por Pramuk vs Giorgio Petrosyan

I thought it was a clear victory for Buakaw in their fight a few years ago, as many others do. Petrosyan got lucky with a draw. Of course, he was only 21 at the time and looking as unbeatable as he has lately I would have to favor him. Still, I would LOVE to see this fight, I think Buakaw probably has as good as shot as any at the current king at 70 kg. It is a shame Buakaw wont fight for Its Showtime.

Arthur Kyshenko vs Hafid El Boustati
Although Artur doesnt look as good at 70 KG, I still think he will put the pressure on Boustati and win in a wide decision or KO. He has looked incredible in his last few outings, a credit to Mikes Gym for putting him on the winning path. I admit I have only seen a few fights of Boustati but from my impressions he is not on the same class as Kyshenko.


Alistair Overeem vs Semmy Schilt
Overeem is a counterpuncher, and despite being a large man he is mainly an inside fighter. Knees and hooks arent the solution to Semmy Schilt, from history (Ignashov I, Peter Aerts 4, 5, Badr I) we have seen the way to beat Semmy is to take it to him, which is not Reems inside counter style. I would favor Schilt.


Tyrone Spong vs Gokhan Saki
Their first fight was razor thin prior to the KO. Both fighters have improved, but Spong it seems more so now that he is used to the weight. This is a DREAM fight of mine and obviously I am a big fan of both fighters, as I have made both of their highlights. 50/50 fight.


Badr Hari vs Daniel Ghita
Ghita's hands have improved dramatically throughout his K1 career, but he still wont be confident exchanging with Badr. I favor Badr in this matchup, but if Ghita can stay defensive and punish the legs and began to frustrate Badr ala Badrs first fight with Bonjesky, he has a shot. Really looking forward to this matchup.

these match ups are all realy good.... cant wait

Ngimbi vs Souwer... who knows? It would be a great fight. Depends which Souwer shows up, but I would go with Andy if I were a betting man.

Petro vs BPP. Petro would wreck him today. Ive come to the point where I just dont see any scenarios happening in a Petro fight that don't happen in every single other fight of his. It doesn't matter who he fights, he makes them look like amateurs, and lights them up with matrix style counters.

Honestly don't know enough about Hafid to give anything accurate on that one.

Reem vs Semmy - hugely depends on which Semmy shows up. He looked like ass against Hesdy, Kyotaro, and his fight with Peter was just epic (for Peter), but he didnt look like the same guy that fought the year before. If they still had the one clinch rule, definitely Overeem, but if not, its about 60/40 for Sem IMO.

Saki and Spong is a toss up.

Badr vs Ghita would be incredible. Who knows. Badr didnt do well with the leg kicks from Remy, and Ghita has an unreal chin. I think Badr can bullrush the fuck out of him though like he did to Hesdy. I dont know how Ghita deals with that. I say 60/40 Badr.

Ngimbi's good but he's so overhyped at the moment. He looked amazing beating Willy Borrel, who isn't even the best -70kg guy in France and hadn't fought in a year but no one seems to remember the fight before that, where he should've lost to Murat Direkci.

pretty much what this man said, Buakaw poses a big stylistical challenge for Petro's style
and it would be very interesting to see a rematch.
