Carter at 100kg? He hasn't weighed that since he was 16.

[Dormath]

Aerts frist ever 2 time champ in the same year LOL.

I am surpresed at the super hw devision i alwas thought iggy would be in the hw, but this is much better gives him a better chance to get into the elmis again FINALY

The Predator is signed with WWE too.

I was just happy to se on this list Glaube, Graham and Pettas were all on it.

Predator has been let go by WWE, but he hasn't said where he wants to go next.

[Jofeljoh!]

I will be actually be very curious to see Aerts in the lighter class. Could be interesting to see him lighter on his feets... Might affect his agility in a good way...

Go lumberjack high kicks?

Heavyweight:

Pettas
Jerrel Vennitian
Xhavit Bajram
Peter Mistrovich

Is it me or is the inclusion of such names finally a chance for us to see some very skilled international fighters that havent been given enough chances in K-1?

But where are Magomedov, Sergei Gur, Gohkan Saki and Vitali Akhramenko? Lets hope that since K-1 have included some old faces that these gifted fighters will also be asked to fight.

Seeing Aerts at 100kg's will be very interesting. I dont think he has come close to weighing that little since the late nineties.

And no suprise at seeing Ignashov on the super heavy weight list, he is a big man. Him along with Jerome, Semmy and Graham are the most skilled fighters in that pool and it should provide some interesting matchups. To my knowledge Ignashov has never lost against a bigger fighter than him!?

Carter at 100kg? He hasn't weighed that since he was 16.

When I saw his name there that is exactly what I thought. Botha would have a better shot at 100kg then Carter.

Just read a Saki interview and he said he had a contract with K-1 for 4 fights. He'll fight in april at the Hawaii event as a tournament fighter.

Nice, thats some good news.

an addition to the HW list is Musashi's little bro, TOMO

[Dado]

Guess Tomo has joined Magomedov by going from the 70kg range to the 90's.

Very interesting. How did he perform at Max level? I dont think I have ever seen one of his fights.

I remember him getting KTFO by Serkan Yilmaz

[Kamatari]

He beat Toshio Matsumoto twice - one win in MAX and one in TITANS. Both are great at middleweight and above (MAX is super-welter), but had to kill themselves to make 70 KG. TOMO won the AJKF middleweight tournament and has a fight in April on a R.I.S.E. card at 78 KG.

[( o Y o )]

I think TOMO walks around at something like 82kg

[Shinbone]

I think TOMO walks around at something like 82kg

So he must eat quite a lot of bread with peanut butter I suppose

[( o Y o )]

he is about 5cm taller than Musashi, so he could bulk up to about 90kg over time and be effective I think.

[K1power]

I'm not too happy over Tomo eventually getting a HW. If you get knocked out by B fighters in MAX at 70 kilos, I don't wanna imagine what happens if a HW hits you.

[( o Y o )]

I can understand the logic there, but I do`t think he was ever fighting well at 70kg as it killed him to get down that low. Rather like Bang....but 10cm taller so that much more difficult to make weight.

[ChristophVB]

Vitali Akhramenko?

HIs last 3 fights have been losses and he hasn't been active I don't think but i would love to see him in the mix.
