looks fucking awesome!!!

Must have a working agreement with Krush because 5 of these guys call that their home.

not the best line up the k-1 gp has ever had. But those posters actually make k-1 feel like k-1 again, lately it has felt like a low tier kickboxing promotion run out of someones basement!

This is honestly the best thing they've done since FEG owned them. Koya, Yamamoto, Bennoui, and Adamanopolous are all top ten talents in the -63 class. Would've been even better if Yuta Kubo was involved like originally planned.

These Japan events are alright but K-1 has always been about the heavyweights so that´s where their focus should be in Japan. I don´t mind if they use 8 unknown kickboxers as long as it´s a HW GP.

I tried to watch it.

I checked a members site I'm privy to, and nothing was going.

I then searched for a stream of the Chinese TV station I thought was carrying it.

I found the station I thought was the right one. After sitting through about 8 minutes of constant commercials, I got to watch the end of a retarded looking studio audience dating show (in which the guy stood in the aisle, almost like a ramp to a fight, and interviewed girls who sat behind what looked like gameshow desks, as they in-turn interviewed him). It was really painful viewing (I would almost call it trauma-stricking), but I persevered. Next came some more Chinese commercials. Followed by the evening news.

I gave up, and resigned myself to going and drinking a beer with my new neighbor.

Edit: Oh, I thought you said you watched the Kunlun Fight instead of the K-1 card.

I had a K-1 feed, but I was on the search for the Kunlun. Then I was on my way to drink away my sorrow on account of my failure.

I haven't seen the fights but I guarantee the Thai was robbed.

But the really bad part is Yoshihiro Sato getting ko'd.
