With K-1 being sold and It's Showtime planning some US shows we might need this thread for all the good news soon. In the meantime here's Buakaw's fight from Thai Fight Extreme Japan over the weekend.


beatdown starts around 10:45. He looked a little slow, for being Buakaw I guess lol.

Also I've read Petrosyan fucked up his hand again, so even if there is a K-1 MAX GP this year he probably won't be in it. :(

Daniel Ghita said he's cancelled a scheduled fight in the fall because he'll be competing in the K-1 WGP in October. And last week Badr's manager said he'll be fighting in China in October. Looks like it's happening.

lol he ducked right into that shit.
I'm pretty sure I could have a football helmet on and Badr & Graham wearing hammer pants made of foam and their kicks would've killed me.

BREAKING: BADR HARI RETIRES FROM KICKBOXING AND WILL BE HEADING TO THE US FOR A BOXING CAREER

September 28, 2011 -

Badr Hari has decided to retire from kickboxing to start a new career as a boxer. On January 28, 2012, Badr Hari will fight his last kickboxing match on the IT’S SHOWTIME event in WTC Expo in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands. After this fight, he will go to the United Stated to fully work on his boxing career.

This announcement will be a shock to the millions of kickboxing fans all around the world, but the sport of boxing will welcome and embrace this charismatic fighter.

In the U.S., many see Badr Hari as the man to relaunch the popularity of boxing, and he’s being seen as a mix of Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson.

Badr doesn’t just want to say goodbye to kickboxing and therefore he has chosen Gökhan Saki as his last opponent in kickboxing. Many millions of fans of combat sports have been waiting for this fight for years, and now they have the opportunity to see it.

If K-1 will host a World Grand Prix this year, Badr will also participate to that. The Grand Prix Final is scheduled for December 10 in China. If this World Grand Prix will take place, depends if K-1 will be able to pay its debts to IT’S SHOWTIME and others. If not, the fight on January 28 will be Badr’s only remaining fight as a kickboxer.

An amazing combat sports arena will be built in the WTC Expo venue in Leeuwarden, in which all spectators have the feeling they are in the ring themselves. Unfortunately, only 5000 people can watch this event live in the venue. The presale starts October 15, and only on this day, the € 125 tickets will be available for € 100.

Fight card January 28, 2012 in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands:

Badr Hari vs Gökhan Saki
Daniel Ghita vs Hesdy Gerges (IT’S SHOWTIME world title heavyweight)
Tyrone Spong vs Melvin Manhoef
Errol Zimmerman vs Rico Verhoeven
Ben Edwards vs Ricardo van den Bos
Murat Direkçi vs Robin van Roosmalen
Lhoucine ‘Aussie’ Ouzgni vs Yohan Lidon (IT’S SHOWTIME world title 73kg max)
Gago Drago vs Hinata Watanabe
Chahid Oulad El Hadj vs Harut Grigorian
Danyo Ilunga vs Mourad Bouzidi
Michael Duut vs Anderson ‘Braddock’ Silva
Henry van Opstal vs Hafid el Boustati

a part of me really just want silva to do like 2 more fights & retire. beat sonnen 1 more time (will be easier without the injury), then KO someone like rampage @ LHW (his dumbass would be too proud to take it to the ground). retire looking invincible, & go down in history that way. but thats OT.

But you could always download the main tournaments, no?
This is what I have to do to watch some mma when I want.
That gets as much exposure here as kickboxing is in the US I would guess...

yeah the US has always had this weird barrier with kickboxing that no one can figure out how to break through. Joe Rogan always talks about how it would be huge here with how insane some of the KO's are and with so many people complaining about grappling in MMA. I don't know how you could show someone who's a fan of fighting something like Zambidis vs. Chahid and have them not go absolutely apeshit watching it. I remember back in the day they used to show Carter Williams and Michael McDonald fights on ESPN2 once in awhile and I thought they were the two best in the world because I couldn't find anything else.
Kickboxing's future isn't looking too bright at the moment. I didn't post any of the articles because no one really knows what's going on, but K1 is basically dead right now. Someone might buy it next year and revive it but all that's really left as a big promotion is It's Showtime for the time being. Plus Badr & Saki are switching to boxing and Spong is moving to MMA supposedly. With Overeem going to the UFC that's 4 of the biggest heavyweight stars gone next year, along with Semmy, Le Banner & Aerts all getting up there in age. Manhoef and Zimmerman's chins are shot and no one gives a shit about Ghita or Teixeira lol. I feel like I'm going to be reduced to having to watch Carnage Corbett elbow kangaroos to death for entertainment.
