I see a McD vs Mo final fight.

Otherwise known as

M&M`s lol

Damned, that was lame.

Anyway, interesting to note Carter is not in the GP...

Ya think?

Hell, it`ll be way better than the Asian GP.

I mean, Mo vs Fujimoto, who is always a goer....knocked down Botha etc....

Gary vs Sean will be a whoever lands will likely win KO of the year award.

Gary vs Mo in the second round will be interesting again.

Glaube vs Cooper will be great to see if Glaube can catch him with that kick...

McD is always fun to watch and McD vs Glaube will be great as they both lost close JD`s to miss out on last years GP.

what happened in last years bellagio? cooper beat mo by jd, and then mcd beat cooper by jd

about card comments - well it won't be boring - that's certain, we might see some great KOs

mo is big time favorite on his side of the bracket, and on the other side is mcd - but he won't have any easy job against winner of feitosa/cooper fight, their duel - either feitosa by (t)ko, either cooper by points

Looks exciting for the K-1 USA card. In case the Asian shows keep up the current standards, the events like USA, Paris, and now even Scandinavia might cast a huge shadow over the "home" of K-1.

You've got the sluggers and heavy hitters on one side of the bracket, and the other side has the more technical and experienced fighters. Although I can't vouch for Mark Serbi as I got no idea who he is. Feitosa will be a good test for Cooper. Cooper has had a hard time getting fights with more known K-1 fighters so here is his shot. Feitosa has looked real good as of late. Very interesting matchup!

I'm thinking McDonald will try out a quick knockout this time around to conserve his energy. We sure won't see Cooper vs McDonald in the finals, so it's either a slugger or a technical fighter that will represent the US/Canada. I'm kinda surprised to see Sean O'Haire in there. I think Marvin Eastman looked vicious last year and a fight between Eastman and Goodridge would be a total war. Maybe O'Haire has trained hard? On New Year's he lost to Musashi on KO.

Mighty Mo vs Fujimoto is interesting simply due to the fact that Mo isn't invincible anymore. Will Fujimoto try and knock him out like Kaoklai did? Will Mo be the same fighter as before he got KO'd by Kaoklai?

It could have been better but also much worse :). And if they keep up the tradition with good superfights then it could be interesting.

O'hare vs Goodridge that is going to be wild :D.

Line up at least looks better than Seoul!
Any word on superfights?

MacD has already beaten Glaube... but the old Glaube. Ever since the last Kyokushin World Tournament Feitosa has been a completely different fighter.

I dunno, Eastman might have looked good in the Bellagio, but he didn't look good getting KO'd by Jiu-jitsu stylist Lutter in the UFC.

He's had some brutal losses in both K-1 and MMA recently, he might want to take a whole year off or two from that sort of thing.

That was a poor knockout. Guess he was busy thinking about defending the takedown or something.

I was actually wondering if he was sick or something.

this lineup looks good. ive seen worse around. the Seoul GP was horrid compared to this. i say Mo, McD, or Feitosa takes it this year. i wonder if carter losing to Aerts had anything to do with that one guy with no picture getting in rather than Carter. probly just see him in a superfight or something.

Cool looks really good! I don't wanna miss this one. Upper part looks really fine (Mo - Fuji / Cooper - Feitosa). Lower part is a weaker Goodridge - O haire ( Goodridge by KO, believe me) / McDonald vs who. Mr Who and Ohaire are the weak spots. Hope to see Donald vs Goodridge. So two crappy quarters, but from semis on its very good.
Will be interesting to see how these guys will cope with Feitosa his flashing lighting kicks. Mo knows all about it ... but never faced a guy with kicks like this.

I think thats a pretty good card for Las Vegas. Hell....anything is a step up from Seoul.

They have 4 guys that fought at the Eliminations last year, and each is fighting a diferent first round oponent. That is a pretty nice balance for any card I think.

Does anyone know where I can find information on Mark Selby? Is he one of the K-1 tryout guys.

Feitose will take this whole tournament.

Good card, could be worse!

Mo vs Fujimoto, I guess Mighty can catch Fuji with his famous right hand, MO by 3R KO
Feitosa vs Cooper, can be a good technical fight, I say Feitosa by dec
Gary vs Sean, c'mon an entertaining slugfest, I pick Gary by 1R KO
Sniper vs Selby, no idea who Selby is, Sniper by KO

Mo vs Gary again? Good, why not... Mo by KO again...
Feitosa vs MCD, that should be the final, Sniper by decision

Mo vs MCD, Sniper by decision, he goes to Osaka, maybe last time? He MUST be there!

They should mix sluggers with technical fighters in brackets, though!

After k-1 Asia, I am afraid to pay money for another K-1 product.

Sean O'Hare by a belly-to-belly Suplex! Followed by a piledriver.

If they give me some good super fights I am going to buy. I probably will by on the strength of McDonald alone, though I would like to see some Carter or maybe a Ignashov to fight in Vegas as well.
