Tournament finals

cool

Gerges/Edwards sounds imminent.

What the fuck is Singh Jaideep doing back in the fold? There are plenty of kickboxers that deserve a superfight ahead of him. Couldn't get Sefo or Morosanu?

Teixeira/Zimmerman will be fantastic, without a doubt.

fuck yeah war sergei

I also heard he should be fighting in Strikeforce as early as February

I would have rather seen him up against Bigfoot at the upcoming Strikeforce card instead of this. I thought they would at least give him a top 20 kickboxer.

^^at this point im just glad to see sergei back and in good shape again, injury free

Please get Badr on this card.

Singh Jaideep has credentials man, he is the K-1 WGP Seoul champion and Sergei is no world beater either..pretty good matchup if you ask me

WAR SEGEI!!

this is a good move for k1, if they can get even a little of the 1 billion people in india to support this guy then it can only be a good thing

I just don't see anything special in him. All his victories could be accounted for being coupled with a tall frame and an average skill-set. The Asia GP just didn't impress me all too much when his best win of the tournament was Taiei Kin.

I'd like to see him prove me wrong though. I just think since Kharitonov at least shows minimal leg kick defense now, he's going to outbox the hell out of Jaideep.

^^ to be fair Sergei is only 1-1 in k-1, with a win over a not so great fighter

but he smoked Sato, like he was supposed to do.
His lone loss isn't bad at all in hindsight, Ghita has been on an absolute tear outside of his losses to Schilt and Balrak.

Maybe asking for Sefo was pushing it, but I think Kharitonov can hang with fighters like Morosanu and Poturak, which imo would lead to better fights than the Jaideep bout.

I do understand how they're trying to open up to a new, large audience in India by giving him these high profile match-ups though...

can't fucking wait for this

^^ Agreed. Sergei would take Bos cop imo, who is also coming off a nice win.

i think sergei would beat alot of the minor k1 journeymen, i couldn't see him beating the top 8 though
