In addition the event will also feature Kaew Fairtex, the P4P best kickboxer at the moment, defending his belt against top Japanese star Masaaki Noiri. The two titans have met once before and their last fight was an epic battle:
However, this time it will 5 rounds, and neither want to leave it in the hands of the judges.
So a MAX world GP and one epic title fight, that should be enough right? Wrong! There is another epic title fight: Wei Rui, the 138 champion, China's greatest kickboxer and master of Sanda, will defend his title against Gonnapar Fairtex, the Muay Thai machine from Lumpinee stadium and Kaew's main training partner.
Surely that is all the glorious awesomeness that can fit on one K-1 event. But theres more! The K-1 Legend Artur Kyshenko has been in Russia raising a new breed of Ruskies to take on the stars of K-1. On this event his two Dagestani proteges, the Pashkaev brothers, will take on Takeru, the flyweight champion and Japan's biggest star, and Ren Hiramoto, the man who almost beat Wei Rui.
