 www.k-1wg.com/19064Looks like Uehara is actually fighting Ibrahim El Bouni, which kinda makes more sense since at Enfusion El Boustati's fake record will remain protected until the inevitable happens and someone puts him to sleep. El Bouni is a dangerous opponent though. Maybe not as experienced as Uehara, but he's certainly racked up some impressive wins in the local circuit over the past two years or so. Good catch. Thanks for letting me know! A few other interesting tidpits came out this presser - Marat Grigorian has been stripped of his 70kg title. K-1 Japan claims to have offered him a title defense for every event they've had since 2015, but Grigorian coudn't make the schedule work (who can blame him, since he has so many fights lined up). While Grigorian said he wanted to defend the title in 2017, K-1 will be stripping him and holding a second tournament in 2017 - Hinata is coming to K-1 with the full support of his gym and the Rebels promotion. The Rebels head (Yamaguchi Genki) showed up at the presser to express his support, which is a big surprise as he was consistently the biggest opponent of Krush/K-1. Hinata is exclusive to K-1 for 2017 and he expressed his desire to fight five times for the promotion next year. He specifically named Dahlbeck and Pikeur as guys he wants to fight and also said he'd beat Kido any day of the week |

I've known about Tenshin for all of 24 hours and Tenshin vs Takeru is already my most anticipated dream fight Its been my dream fight since 2015, second only to a round robin between Petro/Yod/Sittichai. Tenshin was really chasing that fight last year. Takeru won the K-1 55kg tournament and Tenshin won the BLADE 55kg tournament just a few months later. Tenshin then started to really call Takeru out. - Tenshin's crew booked front row tickets to three consecutive K-1 Japan shows just so that they could jeer at Takeru and demand that he fight Tenshin - RISE booked Hakim Hamech to fight Tenshin immediately after Takeru had a relatively tougher fight with him (K-1 immediately spiked the fight stating contract exclusivity so it didn't end up happening) - Tenshin showed up at the K-1 show when Takeru defended his belt and the two shook hands We were so sure it would happen for RIZIN 2015, but didn't pan out. And now it seems like Takeru is injured so won't happen for two years running  Heck, UFC fighter Ishihara Teruto and Kizaemon Saiga named Takeru vs Tenshin the #1 fight they want to see and took to Twitter to bug the two and demand that they set a date lol. |

 Some card announcements - QF1 (Card change): Ren Hiramoto vs Brice Delval - Tournament Reserve fight: Mizumachi Hiroshi vs Rukiya - Superfight: Noiri Masaaki vs Younes Smaili - Superfight: Hinata vs Matsukura Shintaro - Thomas Adamandopoulos has apparently fallen out of contact with his management team and Brice Delval - Matsukura apparently called Hinata out immediately after his return to K-1 was announced and said that he has pride as a fighter who's been fighting for Krush/K-1 and will chase Hinata out of K-1. Hinata says that Matsukura is 3 years too young to challenge him. He reiterates that he plans on winning the K-1 belt this year and one day fighting for K-1 in the Tokyo Dome |

Post fight presser on now. This tournament is apparently getting an hour long broadcast on Fuji TV in addition to their TV Tokyo spot. If I understand right, its an expansion of the Fujiyama Fight Club late night show that RIZIN has. Takeru acting in as guest commentator.
Just a confirmation of previously announced news, but next April will be the last K-1 Japan show in Yoyogi for a while. June, August, November events will be held in the Saitama Super Arena community center (roughly 8K seating) and will be positioned as "Road to Saitama" events leading to next March.
