GLORY 5 goes down today at the Excel Arena in London and let me tell you, it’s stacked. Headlining the card is the 3 time K-1 Champion, Remy ‘The Flying Gentleman” Bonjasky, taking on the always dangerous, Tyrone Spong, in a heavyweight clash that has been anticipated for years. Also on the card, the original […]

Badr Hari was expected to clean house after K-1 WGP tournament favorite, Hesdy Gerges, lost in the opening round to Ismael Londt. After taking a win over Zabit Samedov in a back and forth brawl however, he never returned from the dressing room. Word was that he had broken his foot and was en route […]

Tonight, the UFC heads back to Japan where a fleet of former PRIDE superstars take on some of the top names in the division.

Having chalked off world titles in K-1 and Shootboxing’s S-Cup, Andy Souwer just completed the Grand Slam by adding the It’s Showtime championship title to his collection.

The heavyweight showdown of 2012. The fight we need to see.

Those days seem very […]

What’s done is done; the past is behind us and the future is unwritten. Embrace it. K-1 imploded under its former management, as financial issues and the stagnant combat sports scene in Japan combined to bring the once great kickboxing promotion to its knees, with a host of unpaid and aggrieved European fighters kicking their […]

Hello, hello, it’s good to be back it’s good to be back! So singeth cum sneereth Liam Gallagher circa 1995, in an Oasis song that would have surely become the anthem of comebacks if convicted paedophile Gary Glitter didn’t have co-writing credits with Noel. And so singeth we for K-1, returning in a new form, […]

His title “reign” may have been a wart on the face of combat sports (receiving a shot after two losses, beating the near-40yr old Peter Aerts for the strap, and then losing to Semmy Schilt and then even MMA light-heavyweight Gegard Mousasi in a non-tournament fight yet keeping his belt) an aberration, a slap in […]
