Sh*t just got real lol atleast for me because I actually live near Arena Zagreb Im loving it, the arena will be sold out just like for the CroCop FinalFight event, in one hour that event sold 3000 tickets.

As long as nobody knocks Cro Cop out he'll probably win the weakest K1 WGP

Also, I've heard that Pavel Zhuravlev may replace Makoto Uehara. That makes him favorite for the win in my opinion

March 15th? Ben Edwards fights in Australia on March 23rd but he qualified for the WGP finals.

Mmm looks like Kim had a big debt with Crocop management. Positive thing is it will be a sell out in Zagreb. But Kim selling another K1-sticker.

a win is a win.

To become champion, he'll have to win 3 fights in one night against some pretty good guys.

If they REALLY go ahead and award that prize money than something is really weird. If they have this kind of money than they should have definitely got some top fighters in their promotion. Like for example Spong who, as we know, "if there's good green involved he will fight".

I strongly hope this will not be just another scam to trash the K-1 name even more.
