There was a rumour a couple months ago that they'd go ahead with 77 kg and HW.
Think there will probably be some significant changes, whatever exactly they might be idk. Women's div could be mostly dead and seeing as Marat went to ONE too, 70 kg mostly done too I guess? If 70 kg is dead then would assume 65 kg was also.
There's just some names like Beztati and Jaraya...would Glory do random one off fights with them or would they go up to 77 kg? Beztati could probably do that, doughy Jaraya didn't quite pan out.
Interesting to see if it'll be similar budget going forward and around a monthly event kind of pace or will it just be a totally different promotion.

On a sidenote Roy/Glory/Effinisback is now spewing his propaganda on Mixfight under a Dutch alias with obvious Google translated posts lol.
Funny thing is nobody there appears to have noticed it yet.
The lengths insane people will go to..

Does this mean that their event for december is probably off as well? I mean, they can held the event in another country, it's not like it matters anyway as there will be no fans allowed even if they could do it in the netherlands.

From what I understand they were actually looking to have a few hundred people in the crowd for the October shows at least. And sure, they could simply hold their events somewhere else, but they can only burn so many bridges until it catches up with them.
I'm guessing we'll probably still get a couple of events near the end of the year, though nothing is 100% at this point.
The only thing giving me confidence right now is Glory still signing fighters as we speak.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but Tenshin's 'comeback' fight was a few weeks ago:
Quick blowout fight.

I don't like losing either of these guys as well. Hiramoto had actually announced that he was retiring from kickboxing and concentrating strictly on MMA from now on. As for Koji, does this mean he is done with K-1 ? |

Wu Lin Feng upcoming leagues/cups. With the corona situation/international travel restrictions they can't hold their 3rd annual World Cup, so instead they have elected to run a bunch of domestic leagues/cups over multiple weights. The main one being a 63/66 kg "China super king" cup, however exactly that's supposed to translate idk. This is a weird one with the groups being kind of sorted by different weights. I don't know if the groups are actually fought at those separate weights and then the semifinal and final at whatever catch weight or how this all goes  Group A - 63 kg Zhao Chongyang Zhu Shuai Fang Feida Jin Ying Group B - 66 kg Jia Aoqi Wei Rui Wang Pengfei Liu Xiangming They'll also be doing domestic 60, 63, 65 and 70 kg leagues. 60 kg: Zhao Jiangfeng Li Yuankun Xue Shenzhen Jin Hu Yang Ming Zhao Boshi Zhao Zhanshi Zhang Lanpei 65 kg: Pan Jiayun Zhao Chuanlin Bai Lishuai Kong Dexiang Li Xin Meng Gaofeng Zhang Mengfei TBA 70 kg: Ji Xiang SongShaoqiu Cheng Zisa Liu Shenghao Li Shiyuan Oyang Feng Pu Dongdong Wu Xuesong The 8 fighters will be split into 2 groups, group lottery draw will be streamed on the 29th. Fighters will fight everyone else in their own group once, the 2 fighters with the most points advance to the semifinals. Winner of group A vs. the runner up of Group B/Winner of Group B vs. the runner of Group A. Dates for the group fights: May 15, June 5, July 3, July 31 and August 29 for the semifinals and the final of each tournament. Oyang Feng of Kunlun fame won the 70 kg cup. Yang Ming seems to have won 60 kg, but the finals of these other weights are yet to be broadcast. They actually kept to their overall insane schedule. The whole tournament was scheduled in April, think a few events got moved around but they kept to the end date with corona and everything cancelled. |

As for Koji, does this mean he is done with K-1 ? I'm not sure what the story behind him ending up at Rizin is, though I suspect his K-1 contract was a victim of corona circumstances. Karaevfan will probably have the full story once he comes out of hibernation. As for Hiramoto Ren, I thought his whole 'defending K-1's honor in other promotions' motive sounded very unconvincing. Sure enough, now he's switching to MMA. He's still young and fickle, so who knows where he'll end up. |

Yuta Kubo also retired from Kickboxing, said he wanted to box and go to the Olympics representing Japan. But I think the japanese boxing comission said they had the team ready and he can fuck off.

Kubo is probably just attention whoring, but if he leaves kickboxing I wouldn't mind.
I find him more of an annoyance than an asset.

I actually really like Kubo, his story is so crazy and every now and then he looks amazing.

Can't deny his skill and he's certainly a character.
I just can't appreciate his self-important, gloaty personality.
