Auto translated, it's Dzevad Poturak.

He promoted shows for KOK too and the budget for those was visibly very small. I'm sure he'll already want to do better from his side since it's K-1, but if this event looks like there's some budget to it then K-1 would probably have to be throwing some money into these events as well.

Ah, I suspected this was supposed to actually refer to Poturak, but wasn't sure. Adjusted the quote.

I hope they put some effort and money into the international cards (at least within reason), not just the New York one.

Cool to see Istrate back.

Also seems like we could be seeing more Enfusion guys in these regional K-1 cards with Nidal Bchiri in this one and Younes Smaili being rumoured for Romania.

Not sure who these older gentlemen in the middle are.

This is what I managed to cobble together via discord.

Nidal Bchiri
Ivan Bartek

Redzović, santa clause guy in the middle seems to be 47yo.

No hate, but Santa guys probably shouldn't be used front and center to promote events for major promotions, not even if they're local heroes in smaller local qualifiers.
