With the MMA fighters in K-1 matches at Dynamite shockingly running the table with 1st round knockouts, it seems like the topics of: "who are the best strikers in MMA?", and "what defines 'K-1 level'?" are alive and well. So with that in mind, pick your top 8 K-1 and MMA fighters for a K-1 rules GP, at open-weight, the MAX limit of 156lbs, or both. My matchups are assuming that its an NCAA style seeding (1v8, 2v7, 3v6, 4v5)
