He's certainly getting attention.

K-1 really should let him back. One of the few guys left that WILL make an effort to KO you in 3 rounds via leg kicks (and get it right)

Let him fight against Choi!

I still remember him placing some pretty solid lows on Ignashov in 2001. Got KOed but ruined Alexey's chances of making it, a few more lows from Filho and he was limping. Bastard! :D

His last two fights finished by (T)KO, this is pretty good considering the time he was away... I hope he indeed gets a chance of being in the main shows, he deserves for all the effort.

Glaube has become quite a force since he went verion 2.0 I bet Pettas is a much better fighter than his last appearances in K-1. Good matchups that could be interesting to watch: Pettas vs Karaev, Pettas vs Leko 2, Pettas vs Slowinski, Pettas vs MacDonald 2 (just to see who has improved or not)

I always thought Pettas was too small to compete with the bigger fighters, though he gave Jerome a hell of a fight, it was still pretty obvious he was going to lose.

Jerome was a fav to win the GP that year.

Nick is an incredibly intense person. The energy he gives off just meeting and talking to people. He either 10 thinks the world of you or 1 wouldn't mind sending your head into orbit. LOL.

I'd love to see Nick in the K-1 USA. He is an American citizen afterall. Nick vs. Mo would be a hell of a battle.

I love Nick because he is a flawless kicker. I mean when he fought Gur he landed 2 kicks and Gur was limping. He just know how to land them quick and with max power paying tribute to his Uchideshi Training.

I think the reason they don't let him in is the same reason they don't allow Turner in. I think they are trying to make room for the young guys coming in eventhough there are old guys that will kill them.

Lord Almighty Gaul,
Do you not know the situation Pettas is in? It is nothing like Turner. Nick is Taiwan. Kyokushin is China. And, the K-1 is the UN.

It took me awhile to realize that that is a metaphor ... so Kyokushin has leverage in K-1 org to veto against allowing fighters from rebellious Kyokushin based splinter groups to participate? Lineage political strifes in martial arts - yeah!

Kyokushin made some outrageous demands to permit Nick to fight. Nick accepted them all. Kyokushin then made more demands. Nick accepted. This went on until they demanded that Nick hand over his gym. Unlike the mafia, they make deals you have to refuse. Pig kissers!!

Kyokushin made some outrageous demands to permit Nick to fight.

Please! The _Matsui_ organization of Kyokushin (not just kyokushin). Usualy know as IKO(1) on the internet. It is they who have a agreements with k-1 only to allow kyokushin (and people who once has worn a kyokushin uniform) k-1 after they have OK´d it. Same thing with Graham. He was in another kyokushin group, and we all know how he has been treated by k-1.
Nick realy should be allowed to fight in k-1 again!

So does that mean that Peter Graham will have been sent to Siberia (metaphorically speaking) again by K-1 since he has thrown his lot in with Pettas? He was looking extremely sharp at the Kings of Oceania after just a couple of months of training with Nick but after it took so long for him to get back into the K-1 fold after his last falling out with Kyokushin could his link with Pettas be political suicide?

Graham and Pettas are in slightly different situations with K-1/Kyokushin...though both are getting screwed.

That said Pettas trains lots of guys that have or do fighting in K-1/PRIDE so Graham training with him wont effect his chances much of getting their either way.

His win over Hari would have done a LOT for him, but he needs to win the regional GP in style to get a look in at Osaka again.

Sorry Martin. The Matsui faction is the head of the donkey and the rest are the tail. Overall, kyokushin in general ends up looking like an ASS.

Well, I still remember when Graham won the Oceania GP, that granted the champion a place in the semi-finals, but he was not only ignored and lost it's place there, but also couldn't even get a place in the last quallifying regional GP before it (Vegas I think), and if memory doesn't fail me, there were also wild cards floating around and not even THAT he got (they gave it to somebody else). It was pretty disgusting but they easily got away with it, didn't even need to explain why an official quallifying GP winner can just be put aside like that...

That is true Mago....fortunately now that Dixon has really managed to get the Oceania GP on the major K-1 circit, the winner will now be as safe as any other regional winner to get into the Elims......Graham just has to make sure to win it there again.

I don't believe that was so much due to the kyokushin angle as much as we think though....after all, Rony Sefo got screwed in a similar fahion after winning the Oceania GP.

Rony was never Oceania champ.

NZ K-1 Champion 2004....he was told he was going to the Elims after that....then when in Vegas (to second Ray I believe) got thrown into the GP then and there and told he would have to win IT to get into the Elims.
