Of the kinda guys on ONE roster he's already fought and beat Kiria, Souwer and Risco so gotta hopefully be fighting Grigorian, Superbon, Sitthichai or even Petrosyan  Wish ONE kept their 70 kg guys way more active, wouldn't mind all of them getting more of a warmup type fight to get started like Grigorian got vs. Kondratev. Now it has to be more straight with the great fights or wait another year... |

Bunch of big names involved in this 'Western Karate revival' if you will. Of course Karate never really went anywhere and remains an integral part of the martial arts community, but looking at the more general public of the Western world I guess it faded a bit to the background compared to where it was during the 80s and 90s.
Because this does feel like a modern Western take on Karate, very much inspired by the recent/current success of things like Cobra Kai. Either way it looks interesting and I wonder if this promotion manages to get a foothold. Which won't be easy as it's essentially a niche within a niche.

Kunlun becoming more and more a real estate/gym company in the same way Glory has become a very respectable social media video production company.

Lambagiu Vs Chekhonin: Controversial Refereeing And Judging Decisions, And Biased Commentary
Many say that Rambo won every round, including the extra round undeservedly awarded to Chekhonin, also that the Russian had to be counted several times and maybe even stopped in R4.
With Semmy Schilt as referee:

Pacôme Assi announced his retirement from kickboxing at the age of 40. Assi fought pretty much everywhere, including big promotions like SuperKombat, Krush and K-1. He holds notable victories over Petr Vondráček and Arnold Oborotov. http://instagram.com/p/BuCy2ZvgdDQ Didn't know he was friends with Koichi. Very classy. |

I figured it was gonna be either Petro or Sitthichai.
Easily Özcan's biggest fight to date. Wonder how he'll fare.
