Petrosyan is an interesting case. With GLORY seemingly done with laying out big purses and all the chatter of LEGEND putting together their own stacked 70KG tourney more or less extinguished, what are his alternatives?
He's got two fights lined up on shows that his manager has a hand in promoting, I'm unsure of what he earns for those but I'm doubtful that they are comparable to what he was paid in GLORY and FEG K-1 (for the latter, due to be paid?) and was their not a rumour not too long ago that Carlo Di Blasi had reached out to K-1 with the prospect of Dr. Petro re-joining them? Maybe Giorgio has become accustomed to fighting 8 man tourneys with a big prize at the end and doesn't fancy another grueller (with Yod potentially in the same tournament, to boot) with presumably, a much smaller earner at the other side? Will he even want to take part in another tournament, taking into account his hands, which by the sound of things at this point, are made basically of tissue paper?
Perhaps he is happy to wait for a promoter well armed with big cash on the hip and a flawless Crash And Burn Quick strategy he's eager to employ alongside fighting irregularly for Oktagon? I am stumped for what he's going to do.

I was talking to Carlo yesterday and he was trying to be all coy, "I've heard rumors about Giorgio and K-1?"
To which I can only say "you are his manager and I know that K-1 has reached out to you."

CroCop back in the UFC, apparently Bellator offered him a contract so he phoned Lorenzo to see if UFC would match and they did.

Presumably any talk between Petrosyan and K-1 would be Mike Kim's K-1 and not Krush-1, no?

As you can see Enfusion has done full announcements for events #24 to #28.
Each event has some interesting fights scheduled and the kickboxing calendar is shaping up nicely for at least the first half of 2015.

Rumor has it Glory and Bellator are trying to work out a deal to set up a Dynamite!! style event this year in the US.
There have been talks about a co-event before, but not in this style. This could turn into something exciting if the talks actually head anywhere.

Lol, that's good though.
If either of them manages to sign him he can appear at both.

Well, Dave mentioned that K-1 Global was supposed to use some fighters from K-1 Japan for their China VS Japan card, but it fell through due to unlucky circumstances. If they're not even willing to share some fighters with each other one of the two entities should cease to exist in my opinion.
