Some of the faces on that poster will be familiar with BREAKING DOWN viewers. Smart of Peter to keep working with them. Jonas is 1-1 in BREAKING DOWN also.

Yeah and Pakorn has fought in K-1 not too long ago.

Noiri has left K-1.

Yikes. One of the best guys in the 65kg-70kg range.

Pretty sure it's Mory Kromah.

Noiri has been rumoured to leave K-1 for around two years now. The last I remember hearing about pay was Anpo, who said champions make less than the average salaryman in Japan. You can see why they would want to get out and earn more from a BREAKING DOWN or a Rizin.

K-1 Champion Masaaki Noiri & Krush Champion Tatsuki Shinotsuka Have Left K-1

Yeah, K-1 definitely hasn't been great at talent retention these past few years.

What really sucks is seeing some of those guys' careers not really going anywhere after they left.

Looks like Seiya Tanigawa did the sensible thing and dropped down to a weight that actually matches his body.
He lost, but it may just be him getting used to competing at 75kg.

One of the OGs of Dutch Kickboxing.

RIP Champ.

Warrior Code has released a bunch of new content, including a lengthy interview with new Glory acquisition Mory Kromah.

Unfortunately the subs still aren't great, but they said they're working on it.

Strange they dont even consider guys like Haggerty, Petchtanong, and Akimoto.

Interesting. This will not be a GP, but rather a "Fighting Network" branded event.

In the past this moniker was applied to essentially smaller cards.
