link to K-1 stram, no idea how to make it work or what time it is though

The stream will start on the Fighting Sports Channel from November 3rd 14:30 Japan time (i.e. 18 hours or so from now). The first 30 minutes will be a preview show with Masato and a Japanese comedian. The next hour is likely preliminary fights. I would expect the event itself to kick off from 16:00 Japan time.

The stream is free but region-locked. You will need a VPN of some sort like Hola. My best experience has been with this header change trick @Shadess recommends.

 
They are showing a montage of Kaito being sad as his fight with Takeru plays in the background lol

He says he "Isn't even interested in who his opponent is" and "Takeru better not lose until they meet in the finals"

Like a spurned lover, sob
 
What's with young Japanese fighters turning into inferior Masato's clones (dyed hair, trash talking)
 
Easy win for Ozawa

Practically everyone after the Koshien generation were kids when Masato was big. Now they're all becoming generic clones
 
Damn this French guy is thin (176 cm 50 kg?), and what is with Thai song on the background.

Supposedly he's Masato's pick for the championship. 18-0 or something. Tobe is a fun fighter too so this should be a good scrap.
 
Dont tell me the Frech fighter already gassed....
Edit: Yep, he did. The kid got heart and aggressiveness, now he needs better fight IQ and game plan.
 
I think he was suffering from a sickness before the event. Probably hoped to end it early, but ended up blowing his wad.
 
Crazy sloppy but entertaining scrap. The French guy should win unless K-1 decided to rob him.

Edit: Ok, I wonder how he is going to survive against fresh Kaito.
 
Both guys looking drained.

Ozawa must be pretty thrilled backstage if he is capable of any emotion besides hatred for Takeru.
 
Do you think it was the right call to rule it a KD when he did that roll thing?

Debatable, but I think it was fair. It did seem to be a clean hit (though I may just be fooled into thinking it because he had a nosebleed).

THis is an interesting fight. Kanbe has an odd history for a Japanese fighter and trained at Mike's Gym back when he was a teenager. He was considered one of the prodigies for the weightclass before being derailed by Takeru and Ozawa.

Yun Qi got a great win over Komiyama in the 2nd to last event. Apparently the president of WLF is promising him a million bucks, a car and a house if he beats Takeru in this tournament.
 
Can someone who follow a Chinese scene tell me how good Yun Qi is?

Edit: Oh, so a fighter from WLF, but not champion level
