I heard Pettas was the ring announcer and Ishii was hanging around too. What an odd reunion.

I didn't know about Pettas, but I did spot Ishii on a picture.

Kumite! Kumite! Kumite!
Apparently they had a pretty solid crowd. It'd be crazy if this resparked kickboxing in Japan.

Good stuff!
I take it from the pics Chalid Arrab was replaced?
Also, Aerts in karate pants?

Yeah. That's Prince Ali, one time K-1 fighter and previous HEAT HW Champ.  |

I remember him, I think he was in a reserve fight for one of the Asian Tournaments.

Just returned from work and watched the fight.
First off the footage is of pretty bad quality and filmed from a bad angle. I spotted at least two guys filming with a semi-professional camera from up close to the ring/the neutral corner so I'd like to see that footage when it becomes available as it will problably make the fight look a lot better.
Having said that the fight itself wasn't bad, especially considering Hoost is 49 and Aerts turns 44 in a few days. There was a lot of clinching and slips, but I think a lot of that has to do with Hoost still being somewhat rusty and Aerts basically fighting with a handicap. I suspect the Karate pants were to hide a taped up leg.
As long as neither of them fight any beasts like Ghita or Hari they should be fine fighting lower level guys and/or other veterans.
Too bad the venue was more or less empty other than ground floor level, but this was a new org with little to no promotion and having any kind of crowd for a show under those circumstances in Japan at this point can be considered somewhat of a win I guess. I wonder how the K-1 Japan GP will do in less than two weeks.
