sweet tourney match ups

Kyshenko
Souwer
Ngimbi
Roosmalen

Should be an amazing tournament if all goes to plan.
Groenhart/Levin should be awesome as well.

The first round has many rematches. But, it's great tournament. Would enjoy seeing Kyshenko/Souwer 3 and Roosmalen/Ngimbi as the semi's.

Does anyone know why Mootje Khamal isn't in the tournament? He's probably the best 70kg fighter not in it, outside of Petro and Buakaw.

could have a fight with Kraus on the upcoming K-1 MAX Japan card.

Rutz said Khamal was unavailable. He did sign with the MPL

Sucks that these kickboxers are so underpaid... Hope it gets better this year

I wouldn't call them "underpaid". Do you know something I don't about their pay for fights?

i think Chahid will beat Robin in the rematch...Chahid seemed alittle less aggressive than he usually is in their first fight...but I think he will win if he goes all out...He will then face Ngimbi in the Semi's and will get his head kneed into outer space( like in their first match) and then somehow get up and make the count and lose by decision.

Got Kyshenko vs Ngimbi in the final

The bright side to this is though, that it hasn't been ruined by money like boxing has, and like we're all currently seeing in MMA right now. It's not open to super athletes who dont want to get a real job. Its open to fighters who want to kickbox. I say leave it as it is. Its a beautiful sport.

Well the prize money doesn't seem to be that much...but it will get better with time

Can't wait for Robin and Chahid to do it again

Sick card. Hopefully a good stream will be available
