Definitely excited about that fight though... I really hope Fedor looks like his old self.Easily my favorite fighter of all time.
Barnett def does have a real good chance of winning. But I think that would be the worst thing for Strikeforce. It's kinda hard to market a fighter that has tested positive for steroids 3 times and isn't licensed to fight in most states.Originally Posted by quiickz

Don't forget Hendo fought Big Nog at HW. Hendo doesn't care, if you're near his weight, he'll fight you.
BTW, after seeing Overeem last night I think Barnett has a really good chance at winning this whole thing, as long as he doesn't test positive for anything.

I know a lot of names because I played Japanese Wrestling Games and there was always a MMA/ShootFighting Roster as well. I just never watched.
I found this list of best K1 Bouts for anyone interested: http://www.mmaplayground....atest-fights-1558p1.html

I didn't believe it initially, if anything I felt it could be a draw, but after watching it again Overeem really did nothing to convince me he won.
Smh at Werdum. He should have fought, his stand up didn't fail him. He embarrassed himself and the sport. Whether or not Werdum was winded at the end, Overeem definitely was. Dude better get to work on that cardio. For a K-1 champ, he sure looked mediocre in the stand up overall. He took a lot of punches to the face and looked stiff when trying to go on the offensive.
I think a big part has to do with access and exposure. Its never televised (HDNet doesnt count since its only available in limited households) so you actually have to put some effort into finding it (either youtubing old fights or looking for streams of current events). Also, since most if not all K1 events take place outside of North America, they would be televised at off hours.Originally Posted by shogun
I wonder why fans, more specifically casual American UFC fans don't watch more K-1. They seem to favor the standup more than the ground game.
I need to check out more fights myself. I've only seen a few when mma stars compete against the K-1 guys. I like seeing how the mma standup translates to kickboxing matches.
hahahaha if that happens ill buy a round of drinks for everyone who posts in this threadOriginally Posted by quiickz
