This tournament took place yesterday and wasn't really sanctioned by K-1, but co organized by ISKA. K-1 rules applied and a few fighters you might know from K-1 rings:
1/4
Marcin Rozalski (Pol) def Roman Kejbl (Cze) 3R KO - massive counter attack punch, til that moment the Czech was winning the fight)
Sergei Gur (BLR) def Tibor Nagy 3R Dec - good hard fight with clean decision
Kukurydzyak (Ukr) def Yahya Gulay (Tur) 3R Dec - close hard fight
Lukasz Jarosz (Pol) def Daniel Waciakowski (Cze) 1R KO - quick 3x floor sweep (not sure if you know, but Daniel is not a pro fighter anymore, he just does it for fun sometimes)
1/2
Rozalski def Gur 4R Dec (details below, generally, good fight, victorious revenge for Rozal, but BS with the extra round)
Jarosz def Kukurydzyak 1R KO - very strange, the Ukrainian fell down after the first kick in the fight (low kick) and never got up... A bit smelly...
Final
Jarosz def Rozalski 2R TKO
There were a lot of controversy, as clearly the guys who met in the final are 2 best HWs in Polish K-1 and the tournament was organized by Jarosz's manager. Rozalski team claims they had much harder route to the final and BS decision about 4th round with Gur (are quite right about that as 2 judges saw it 2:1 for Rozalski and 1 judge 3:0 for Gur - how can you make a draw out of it??)
Final: Rozalski rather dominating the fight, better with punching combos, but Jarosz kicking precisely the injured leg of Rozal (in the first fight he fell and twisted his ankle). In the second Rozal had to give up after another hard lowkick in the injured leg.
Generally, not a bad tournament, but I hope next time we will not have that much of controversy... They are talking now about a rematch Jarosz vs Rozalski for the Polish K-1 rules title, but do not know what happens with that.
