I dont think I have ever seen kickboxing on TV. I always just stream the events and hook my laptop up to the tv. There are always Russian pirates streaming the events.

- They used to show K1 on cable tv.I wanted the huge public to see what karate is all about, because that horrible Karate kid movies they think the art is a joke.

Thank`s for Van Damme and Chuck Norris movies for giving respect the art deserve.
But the karate kid stigma still around even today.

But the music of the movie was good.

Ohh, and Lyoto of course.

Prelims start at 3am, main card starts at 4am. There will be a free stream on Abema TV(a Chinese website) which can be accessed with Hola, a free extension that can make your IP address Chinese.

Also K-1 just announced they will be adding new weight classes later this year.

Damn I forgot that Takeru vs Ozawa Kaito was also on this card. Takeru is their 55KG champion, Kaito is the Krush 56KG champion and they hate each other. They were doing a press conference thing about a month about and they got into a brawl while all dressed up. Around 8:30 mark:






Top ranked Brazilian Philip Kimuru will also be fighting.

Weigh ins:






Yamazaki looked really dehydrated.
