Ruslan says....
First I want to thank those that helped me get to be in the current best 16. Tomorrow I hope to enter the best 8. Hari is a very fast fighter so I will do my best.

Hari says....
Um......ummm....I dunno what to say. I think I said a million words since coming to K-1...about Ruslan...I dunno.....I just wann....I dunno....knocking him out or something. Maybe I am fast, maybe not...I dunno.....I forgot my medication.....I dunno. I do wanna thank the Japanese fans for giving me the wild card....my trainer Mike, and the photographers that make nice pictures of me. About the fight....I dunno.....he should bring his pillow with him as he is going to sleep. If he forgot about it...ask Ray Sefo....

Remy...
It is good to be back in Osaka....I hope I have a good fight and everyone will be OK. Thanks

Gary....
Hello....Minasan konichiwa. I have some big shoes to fill by filling in for Aerts, one of my favourite fighters. Remy is a legend in the sport and I am happy to challenge him. I hope to be in the final 8, and have aspirations of being the final 1. Good luck to everyone, and no injuries.

Osu. I`m hppy to be here as the K-1 champ. Thank you.

Bregy....
Hello to everyone. Thanks to K-1. Tomorrow I am going to fight that champ, so what can I say? I have done my training and it will be a good fight.

Ray says...
It is bizaar as the guy I am fighting....I have a lot of respect for Stephan as a fighter and a human. It is fnny before Vegas I said to him he will win, and he has already fought the best. I don`t think either one of us wants to fight each other, but here we are. God bless the fighters and god bless everyone. Thank you

Leko says....
Hello to everyone. Same as Ray.....it has happened, and e have to fight. I fought Ray here in Osaka 8 years ago, and he won, so this is my chance to make it 1-1 and we can rematch again in a few years. I wish everyone good luck

Hoost says...
I am very happy to be back in the GP, though I didn`t expect to be here early in the year. FEG asked me to come back and I thought it was a good idea to become the 5 time champ. I thank them and hope to be in Tokyo.

Fujimoto says...
This time I am fighting against the champ Hoost...so I will give it my all to do my best...with thi being my first time in the Elims

[( o Y o )]

Musashi says...
I am in great condition and have no injuries. I watched Chalid fighting in Vegas and think we will have a great fight.

Chalid.....
Hello everyone, I am glad to be here in the final 16. I feel so good Musashi will feel like he is fighting against two people. I respect him a lot, thats why we prepared very well. I wish him luck, and the other fighters...and want to ask if he can give me his shoes after the fight.

[( o Y o )]

Musashi then says he heard Chalid has a nice car, so can he take him for a ride in it.....

Chalid says if it is as a passanger, no problems

[( o Y o )]

BTW....Mike Bernardo was in the lobby earlier on, but I didn`t see him at the press conference, and there was no word of him.

[tuco]

thanks oyo

[Arie-Kanarie]

Great comment from Chalid about the shoes.

Thnx for the updates, and I can't wait for tomorrow!

[loreia]

LOL, Badr looks like a nerd.

Musashi's shoes
whre do I get my pair?

[( o Y o )]

!!!!!

[AKA]

so he changed his mind at the last moment.
yes! 2 days ago exactly..he is actually at paris airport!

[urdum]

WOOW. Choi is huge... oyeah and btw. Whats wrong with Musashi by wearing those shoes????

[Jofeljoh!]

WOOW. Choi is huge... oyeah and btw. Whats wrong with Musashi by wearing those shoes????

If you have the same bad taste, nothing.

[MZN]

I can't wait~!

[Dado]

By his standards Badr sounded rather tame. Although telling Ruslan to ask Ray for a pillow is pretty harsh damn. What were the reactions to that?

Did Paul say much? Was Alan Wong there with him?

[Paul T]

Fujomoto knows he is there to be beat. can see it in his eyes, but
what if he pulls off an upset . . . .

:-)

[Long Fist]

I wonder where Choi goes shopping for jeans ...

[zymogen]

Lol at the press conference. One is like the other, the fighters are polite and say some phrases, but that's it!

I like Musashi's shoes, but for him they look a little bit too feminine.
