4/21 K-1 World Max Tournament - Kohiruimaki Out!

The K-1 Japan Tournament champion, Taishin Kohiruimaki is out of the upcoming World Max tournament in Fukuoka. It also means that he loses the chance to advance in this years tournament. He will be replaced by the runner up in the Japan tournament, Yuya Yamamoto. This is a real shame for the veteran, but Yamamoto was good in the tournament so lets see if he is able to step up to the challenge.

Yasuhiro Kido takes Yamamoto's spot in the reserve fight in this event.

4/21 K-1 World Max Tournament - Final 16

FEG looks like they have finalized the card for their event in Fukuoka. As always, this should be the highlight event in Fukuoka and there are some very good fighters on the card.

2 fighters from the Japan Tournament has made it into the final 16, the winner Taishin Kohiruimaki and the eccentric Yoichiro Nagashima.



The Japanese fans will keep an eye on the exhibition fight as well, I wish Masato had been in a proper fight though.
