To quote my reaction from earlier this year: While part of me doesn't really want to see Remy returning for a paycheck, I'd rather see this than Remy vs Rico/Saki.It would be a cooler to see a fight Remy hasn't won three times already though.. While I still absolutely stand by that comment, this event does look really interesting to me. Manhoef has been doing a good job with his promotion thus far especially with heavyweights so the classic K-1 Final 16 route makes sense. In fact, this has me more excited than anything Glory has done/is doing this year. |

Happening this Sunday!
Edit: OP Updated with full card, though I think they're still missing a fight to complete the F16
(unless Melvin vs Remy counts as part of it).
This is a really solid card for heavyweights.

Hopefully this will make it to the internet, in it's entirety.

Hopefully this will make it to the internet, in it's entirety. Looks like they are doing a iPPV stream for just 5 euros outside of Benelux where it will be seen on the Dutch version of Spike TV. I'd actually consider paying for it for that price, but I'm wondering if the online stream will also be in Dutch or in English. |

They only aired the HW portion (which was about 3,5 hours) so I don't know the full results, but this was a solid event!
Most of the fights delivered and I hope this makes its way to the internet in full.
Levi Rigters in just his 2nd pro fight absolutely destroyed Redouan Cairo which was impressive to see and Khbabez vs Mahiedine was a great, hard fought brawl from start to finish.
Manhoef looked probably the best he did in recent years while Remy looked a bit slow and hesitant during the first half of the fight. Despite both Melvin and Remy definitely looking their age, this was a pretty decent fight and a well earned decision for Manhoef.
While the main fight was listed as part of the Final 16, I can't imagine the intention being that Manhoef joins the Final 8 now, so they'll probably pick a wildcard from one of the guys who lost their fight. My pick would be Mahiedine, since he looked great in defeat. BoyBoy Martin would be my second choice as I feel the decision should have gone his way to begin with.
Either way the Final 8 tournament should be a solid one.

WFL management has announced that the decision of the Sikking vs. Martin has been overturned:
BoyBoy Martin defeats Fred Sikking by Decision.
Apparently one of the judges mixed up the blue and red corners while filling out the score sheet. At least that's the official story. Either way, good thing this was addressed and rectified.

There's a torrent on mma-tracker that covers the following fights:
Melvin Manhoef vs. Remy Bonjasky IV
Henriques Zowa vs. Murat Aygun
Fred Sikking vs. Boy Boy Martin
Tarik Khbabez vs. Nordine Maheiddine
Andrei Stoica vs. Sahak Parparyan
Reamon Welboren vs. Sam Tevette
It's a recording from the majority of the Spike broadcast that only misses two of the Final 16 fights.
On a sidenote, Spike has started airing the rest of the card in separate portions as well, so ultimately all the fights should find their way to the net in some way, shape or form.
