The South Korean Version of K-1 MAX

[Kamatari]

WKC (World Kakutougi Championship)
South Korea, Seoul on Saturday July 16 2005

It will be a 70 Kg tournament held under special kickboxing rules, meaning elbows will be prohibited. 8 fighters in total; 2 South Koreans, 1 Chinese, 1 Thai, 1 Japanese and 3 European. The Japanese representative will be Yuya Yamamoto. Yamamoto's last fight in South Korea was in December of 2002 against Lim Chi Bin. Prize money will be 30 million won (about three million yen) for the winner, second place will be 10 million won (about one million yen) and for third place 7 million won (about 700,000 yen).

There will be some other Japanese participation in the form of a female fight (T.B.A.) scheduled at 55 Kg and Convoy Yamashita will fight a South Korean opponent at heavyweight (85 Kg).

Interesting... any idea who the European fighters are?

Do they have an official homepage?

I was under the impression that KOMA was S. Korea's answer to K-1 MAX. Either way, the more the better.

Sounds awesome. Yuya's getting alot of fights in. Can he be the real Next Masato?

No, he doesn't have the power to be the next Masato. He's still an entertaining fighter who always puts on a good show.

Yamamoto's out with an injury he sustained in his superfight at the Japan GP, we might get to see K-1 World MAX GP 2002 finalist Kaolan Kaovichit in action though.
