Flew to Greece to catch the event with my wife. The production value wasn't quite up to par with the usual K-1 MAX events, but the fights were great anyway.

Even though he didn't go very far, I was most impressed with Ristie. Tough style, could give anyone in the world a tough fight I think.

thanks again PI!
Where's Petrosyan? Buakaw still MIA from intl comp? Sato?
in for later
Anyone know when the next K1 will take place? 
A lot of the staple K-1 MAX fighters have scattered to other events. Petrosyan to Glory and Buakaw to ThaiFight for example. Since Masato retired, Souwer has kind of had to step up be Mr. K-1 MAX pretty much.
I believe Grohenhart is leaving for Glory, and Souwer said this will probably be his last K-1 MAX tournament. With that said, Kyshenko, Ngimbi, Ristie, McCallister, Zambo, and Roquinhe is still a VERY solid lineup.
subb... thanks Pro Ice
Wasa-B - thanks again PI!

Is Kraus already retired?
And who else is in Glory for Petro to fight?
I've heard Groenhart is already signed to Glory, so Petro could fight him if Groenhart doesn't move up in weight immediately. That'd be kinda cool to see the newest K-1 MAX champ fight the last one.
My friend Ole Laursen is signed to fight him in March, but I'm not sure if it's under Glory.

He's still fighting I believe. He had to pull out of the glory final 8 because he caught the flu.
