8/11 K-1 World GP 2009 in Tokyo -Final 16 Qualifying GP- Fight Order

Tomorrow FEG is holding their World 16 Qualifying GP in Yoyogi 2nd Gymnasium. There are some very interesting names in the tournament.

The main event will, of course, be the tournament final. But before that Peter Aerts will take on Japans former boxing champion Yosuke Nishijima. Nishijima has tried his hands at MMA and now K-1 after putting away his boxing gloves, I would be surprised if he won this, but it will be an entertaining fight.

There has been a change in the tournament reserve fight, British John Love is replacing Alex Roberts, and Heat veteran Prince Ali is taking on another Heat veteran in Yuki Nimura. It really shows that the Heat organisation is bringing out some great talent, and I have been impressed by both these fighters in the past. It should be a good reserve fight.

Main-Event - Final 16 Qualifying GP:
13. Winner SF1 vs. Winner SF2

12. Super-Fight: Peter Aerts vs. Yosuke Nishijima
11. Super-Fight: Keijiro Maeda vs. Jan Soukup

4/13 K-1 World GP

Ok, just so I don't forget about this one. K-1 this Sunday in Yokohama! This will be a HUGE event!!

The main event, and of course the highlight of the evening. Super-Heavyweight title fight between Mark Hunt and Semmy Schilt. Schilt has looked unbeatable, but Mark Hunt has always done well as an underdog. He is now back in K-1 and this is huge, even if it might just be for one fight. If he wins, I guess we will see more of him in K-1.

Anyway, the card:
K-1 Super Heavyweight Title Match : K-1 Rules / 3Min. 3R
Semmy Schilt vs. Mark Hunt

K-1 Rules / 3Min. 3R Ex.2R
Ewerton Teixeira vs. Yusuke Fujimoto

4/13 K-1 World GP - Fights

There has been some additions to this card, most noticably for me, Alex Roberts will make his K-1 debut. He is no stranger to Japan having fought in Shoot Boxing. It will be interesting to see how he deals with the step up in level. Otherwise this card looks very good, the highlight is of course the return of Mark Hunt facing of against Semmy Schilt in the main event.

Just to make it clear, this is most likely not the fight order.

K-1 Super Heavyweight Title Match : K-1 Rules / 3Min. 3R
Semmy Schilt vs. Mark Hunt

K-1 Rules / 3Min. 3R Ex.2R
