I don't remember anymore, but I think this ruined some deal they were doing.  |

Think some Japanese porn stars have big followings in China, but it just wasn't appropriate to associate with anything porn related in public, at least then.

-It would be beautiful if Glory can snatch Kryklia, Zhaja, Opacic, and Eersel from ONE. -Then K-1 snatchs Menshikov, Petchtanong, Qiu Jianliang, Zhang Peimian, Di Bella and Akimoto also from ONE. Re: Kryklia (and Allazov) Glory has a history of ignoring Belarus based fighters entirely, very much a blind spot for them. Wonder if it's just that they didn't want to sign fighters who had absolutely 0 reason to go train at Hemmer's gym  ...or Mike's, Colosseum or any other Dutch place. Gridin Gym/Chinook ftw. Gridin produces just beasts... Is crazy. Hope Putin stops this stupid war already... (or better if he dies soon) |

If porn and tax evasion is mainstream in 2023, this is a no-brainer: K-1 will be huge (again). PS: hoping for only the best scenario - grew up reading ANYTHING I could get my hands on about K-1, went to Tokyo and were ringside when Mark Hunt won and have met Aerts, Leko, Ignashov, Graham, Kruth, Lindwall, Zimmerman, Krauss, Masato etc. I also did the Danish Eurosport commentary through all the best K-1 years. Fingers crossed for this! |

I've known about K-1 since the mid 90s when a friend had the game on PlayStation. I started kickboxing myself as a teen around the year 2000.
Really became a K-1 fan around 2002-2003 during the Bob Sapp era when fight forums started popping up on the internet left and right. Tape delayed K-1 broadcasts on EuroSport were among my most anticipated events for years. I believe the program was called 'Fight Club' and to this day Fred Royers is my favorite fight commentator. Far superior to popular picks like Michael Schiavello, even though I think he's pretty good as well.
I've been to all the Amsterdam K-1 GPs between 2006-2008 and even the K-1 Global WGP in Zagreb in 2013 and will to this day maintain I've had a great experience there with a couple of friends, despite all the controversy surrounding K-1 Global and that specific event.
But yeah, it goes without saying that I'm invested in this.

Yeah I've heard only good things about Royers. When you have a kickboxing background your self it carries over in your commentary I think.
And yup it was called Fight Club and was aired on Monday nights.
