Overeem moet maar tegen Schilt, of Lebanner moet in een keer het vuur gevonden hebben. Of liever ook niet want dan gaat die Kyotaro er met de titel vandoor.
En al iets bekend over Spong, zag hem niet bij de lijst staan.

Hopelijk is aerts weer terug op gewicht en mept hij texeira eruit.
Texerira verdient het absoluut niet om me te doen aan de finale. Wat een saaaaie vechter is dat.

War Peter!

ik durf met 1 ieder hier te wedden dat badr hari dit jaar niet meedoet aan de k1 in Japan. Dus kortom die Tanikwa kletst maar uit z'n nek, ik weet zeker dat badr niet gaat deelnemen dus vraag ik me af of de rest van de namen wel klopt. Bonjasky ging tog onder het mes voor z'n oog?

Zoals het er nu uitziet doet Badr gewoon mee, daar heeft hij recht op na zijn kwalificatie voor de laatste 8. Dus Tanikwa klets helemaal niet uit zn nek.
Denk je dat de K1 de prive situatie van iedereen nauwlettend in de gaten houd.

Hoe hier in Nederland gaat lopen met zijn recht is nog niets over te zeggen.

staat in het stukje van de Headkickers ook nog, en veelal hetzelfde wat hier staat geloof ik

After a rocky few weeks of some bad stories coming out of K-1, today we finally get some unequivocally good news from the company. Through their official website, K-1 has announced (almost) all the details on the remainder of the 2010 season for Koshien, MAX, and of course the Grand Prix. It's a lot of info, so let's jump right in:

GRAND PRIX

The Final 16 is set for October 2 in Seoul, with the GP finals to be held December 11 in a venue yet to be determined. There will be no further qualifying GP's between now and the final 16. Tanigawa confirmed that 7 of last year's final 8 would indeed take part in the GP. Badr Hari will take part, despite his on-going legal troubles, and Alistiar Overeem has officially given up on landing the Fedor fight this fall, choosing to return to K-1. Not taking part: Remy Bonjasky, who needs 6 weeks to recover from eye surgery before resuming training.

The complete line-up so far includes: Hari, Overeem, Semmy Schilt, Jerome Le Banner, Ruslan Karaev, Ewerton Teixiera, Errol Zimmerman, Ben Edwards, Kyotaro, and Freddy Kemayo. That leaves 6 vacant slots to be filled by fan vote and K-1's own whims. If I had to guess, I would say both Peter Aerts and Gokhan Saki are a lock for two of those slots. Other front runners would be Ray Sefo, Alexey Ignashov, and Daniel Ghita. Other names I could potentially see involved are Hesdy Gerges, Singh Jaideep, Tyrone Spong, and Melvin Manhoef.

MAX GRAND PRIX

Thankfully, the MAX Grand Prix IS indeed happening, though the news isn't as thoroughly positive as the GP news.

First up, they will continue the Final 16, although a date and venue remain TBD. After that Final 16, the MAX finals will be a one night, 8 man tournament on November 8 in Tokyo. That card will also include action in the 63kg division, featuring champ Tetsuya Yamato, Yuta Kubo, and Hiroya among others.

For that Final 16 show, they released a list of 8 participants: Giorgio Petrosyan, Drago, Artur Kyshenko, Chahid, Mike Zambidis, Mohamed Khamal, Vitaly Hurkou, and Su Hwan Lee. Remember, Kraus, Nagashima, and Sato have already qualified for the Final 8, so there are 5 slots remaining, which means we still have 2 fighters yet to be announced for the Final 16.

This list is a case of good news/bad news. Good news: the return of defending champion Giorgio Petrosyan, who was potentially holding out due to a financial dispute. Excellent to see him back and defending his crown. Bad news: no Buakaw, no Souwer. Buakaw I was prepared for, as signs have pointed all year to him not taking part. Souwer on the other hand, is a shock, and a blow. If he indeed does not take part, it would be very unfortunate, and would really lower the overall level of competition in this tournament. Because Souwer has signed a fight for Sept. 18, it's possible he simply can not fit in the Final 16 event, which would mean K-1's slow scheduling here has really hurt them. We'll see what happens and who fill those final 2 slots.

KOSHIEN

The Final 16 will be held November 20 in Tokyo. They did not confirm this, but the earlier plan was to have the Koshien finals take place on one night and be separated from Dynamite, so this may be a one night, 16 man tournament. Only big news here is that defending Koshien champion Masaaki Noiri, who has been on a roll since winning the title, will indeed be back to defend. Other participants include Tsukasa Fuji, Keisuke Miyamoto, Mitsuhiro Ishida, Hiroki Akimoto, Ryuya Kusakabe, Shoei Hareyama, Ryosuke Sasaki, Koki Takeuchi, and Minoru Kimura.

Overall, this is very welcome news that helps ease some of the fears over K-1's immediate future. Now, instead of gloom and doom, we can start getting excited for the months to come.

More Rumored K-1 World Grand Prix Final 16 Matches; Badr Hari vs. Hesdy Gerges Rematch Rumored

Hot on the heels of getting word of the first bout for the K-1 World Grand Prix Final 16 there are some strong rumorscirculating about some of the other Final 16 bouts for October 2nd in Seoul, South Korea. Ben Edwards vs. Alistair Overeem is the bout we have heard through somewhat official channels and is quite the blockbuster of a fight, and in that vein so are the other fights that are rumored.

Badr Hari vs. Hesdy Gerges
Kyotaro vs. Gokhan Saki
Peter Aerts vs. Ewerton Teixeira
Errol Zimmerman vs. Jerome Le Banner

The other rumored participants (some not exactly rumored but confirmed) are Sem Schilt, Ruslan Karaev, Freddy Kemayo, Singh Jaideep and the other two fighters have yet to be chosen.

Also rumored is that the remainder of the K-1 MAX Final 16 will take place in Seoul, with the rumored matches for this event laying out as follows;

Vitaly Hurkou vs. Giorgio Petrosyan
Mootje Khamal vs. Arthur Kyshenko
Mike Zambidis vs. Chahid Oulad El Hadj

Also featured will be Gago Drago, Su Hwan Lee and two others (possibly Buakaw Por. Pramuk).

There are some absolutely huge fights here, including a Gokhan Saki vs. Kyotaro rematch, Errol Zimmerman vs. Jerome Le Banner, the Badr Hari vs. Hesdy Gerges rematch and the inclusion of Peter Aerts into this year's World Grand Prix against Ewerton Teixeira.

Of course nothing is final in these regards until we hear from official sources, but if this is indeed how the Final 16 is shaping up it should be an incredible show.

Latest Final 16 Rumor: Tyrone Spong v. Ruslan Karaev

The Final 16 rumor mill continues to turn. The latest fight making the rounds on various sites is Tyrone Spong v. Ruslan Karaev. Some sites are claiming this info comes direct from Team Mr. Perfect, where Spong trains under the legendary Ernesto Hoost.

Like the rest of the rumored fights so far, I love the sound of this one. This is a very close fight between two men trying to find their place in the K-1 ranks.

The #12 ranked Karaev was considered one of the top stars of the new generation not long ago. He's since been clearly surpassed by Badr Hari, and, to a lesser extent, fighters like Errol Zimmerman and Ewerton Teixeira. He has some big recent wins (over Kyotaro a year ago) and some rough loses (an all too easy KO by Hari last year), but a motivated Karaev has the ability to beat anyone. The obvious question is - will this be a motivated Karaev?

At #14 in the rankings, Tyrone Spong is another fighter looking to reclaim the highly touted spot he once held. Spong has struggled to find his consistency since making the move to Heavyweight last year. He hasn't taken many fights since switching to Hoost's camp, so this will be another chance for him to really establish himself in K-1.

At this point, we have 6 rumored Final 16 fights: Spong v. Karaev, Edwards v. Overeem, Hari v. Gerges, Kyotaro v. Saki, Le Banner v. Zimmerman, and Aerts v. Teixeira. If these are all true, that leaves 2 remaining fights yet to be announced. Those two fights would include Semmy Schilt and Freddy Kemayo, along with two more wild card fighters yet to be announced. I still think Daniel Ghita has a good shot at being included, as do Alexey Ignashov and Ray Sefo.

As always, until this is officially announced by K-1, this is not confirmed, and has to be taken as a rumor
