good to see...

This didn’t get lost in the weeds with all the coverage on 100 going on this weekend.

Kyshenko vs. Souwer is a helluva a Final 8 matchup.
I’m looking forward to several of these fights.

For those interested, HDNet is showing this (on delay)…next Friday 7/17

Oh for fuck’s sake. Who do I have to kill to get some live K-1

I was gonna rec this ’til you hated on Hiroya.

Can’t wait for this show.

I can’t stand Hiroya, and there are a LOT of hardcore K-1 fans who feel the same way. The reason… K-1 babies this fucking guy. He easily lost a couple decisions in some past events and was given gift wins. I can’t stand that bullshit.

Too Tired for Night Crew

At least it’s just K-1…for DREAM or Sengoku, I’d fight sleep to watch it.
