The title of the thread was not directed at your fighting ability so much as just the principle. Those of us who are tired of the Sapp and Akebono, "WWF" direction that K-1 is heading have no choice but to think, "Goddamnit, when is this shit going to end" when looking at that article. For everyone else, the singing and afro stuff is just more of the gimmick, more of the freakshow material that you see on K-1. You even admitted yourself that you exploited this... that it helped you out.
We don't want to see anymore gimmicks, we want to see talented fighters. If you are a talented fighter, then more power to you, and if you fight your way to the top of K-1, then you will have everyone's respect. It is hard to take anyone seriously, though, when they sing Marilyn Monroe and have a Tina Turner afro.
