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:

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.
