I would be surprised if Machado won. He was soundly beaten by Isaev and got blasted easily by Bizyaev, whom I didn't expect to easily beat him and knock him out like he did. Beat him, sure, but not like he did. I do think younger, roided up Machado would win though.
Can't see Mahmoud winning this. I don't even think he can beat Istrate, whom I imagine is going to look massive next to him. Would love to see it though. Perhaps he can catch Claudio with his quick hands, but I am worried about his slow feet. I can see him just fucking standing in front of Istrate.
I don't expect Karimian, Bordianu or Ce to win. Turynski is so interesting to me. I don't really know what to think of him. Similarly, Jemai.
I hope K-1 tries to bring in some of the Russians I mentioned earlier. I would love to see Isaev especially. Him and Vakhitov, whom I read somewhere is going to be coming back to kickboxing when he is ready.

Thank god. It would be the most K-1 thing ever to have this announcement and then it only be available to Japanese audiences.

Looking at the K-1 reels on Instagram.. you compare the production and the presentation to Glory and it's night and day. Their guys come across as stars. JMMA and JKICK are unrivalled in that department.

I've been saying this for years; J-Fight promotion >>>> Everything else. The Japanese just have a sense of style and creativity that's for the most part absent in Western promotions. Don't even mention Glory as I'm fairly confident I could come up with better promo material in my spare time. Japanese promotions are really only competing amongst themselves in that department. One caveat though; J-promo / media style is definitely an acquired taste that not all Western fans appreciate on the same level. As somewhat of an otaku it just happens to fire on all the right cylinders for me.

The event was added to fite.tv as well. ...but now it's been pulled from both dazn and fite. Seen theories for them not having proper music rights or something to do with Quintet having sold their broadcast rights somewhere in the Americas and the dazn/fite stream included the quintet part as well. A bit of a mess. I get kinda K-1 Global vibes from it... Comment is aging well.

Not gonna lie, that's not a good look.
If they're able to they should just broadcast this on YouTube for free. Create a bit of a buzz and goodwill. They're not gonna do crazy numbers outside of Japan with this card anyway.
