I´m rooting for Malikov against Monson. I want to see Malikov or Ka vs Smoldarev in the final.

Nemkov was supposed to fight for the LHW title but I don´t know what will happen now.

I hope Smoldarev wins the whole GP. He´s a very young, talented and humble fighter.

M-1 is building up some solid HWs with this GP. Tournaments build up the fighters quick.

Nemkov fight should be for the belt.

^Just days away. Going with Monson by North/South choke.

Is this on before KSW on Saturday? KSW usually starts at 2 PM EST and M-1 on Saturdays usually starts at 11 AM. I definitely want to catch both live.

We got M-1, KSW, and UFC lined up this Saturday. Great day for MMA.

This Saturday is jam packed with MMA from morning until night (at least here in EST from morning until night).... Can't wait. I just hope M-1 doesn't overlap KSW and KSW doesn't overlap UFC prelims because I want to catch all the fights live.

Good to see it is on so early so it should end before KSW starts.

what time is KSW?

Realidea wrote:what time is KSW?

Probably 2 PM EST since that is their normal start time.

Their website has a countdown timer showing 8 PM EST on Saturday but that can't be right. That would be 2 AM Poland time.

ye i saw that. 2 pm sounds more logical

What a cool day for Euro MMA.

I don't think Malikov can stop the grappling of Monson.

So is this event going to be outdoors? Will the Rage get to see some mountain sun?

Are there any pictures of the weigh ins? I've looked everywhere can't find any.

10 1/2 hours until this starts (7:25 AM EST).
