70kg /154 lbs

Do the Dutch have any stars at that weight currently? Seems like all the big names are over 200 lbs.

You're kidding right? -70 KGs we have tons of strong fighters. I dare to bet that a random A-class fighter from Holland can at least beat half the field (guys like Trevor, the guy from Scotland, etc), and maybe give the class under Yod and Naruepol a very, very tough fight.

Stars enough in -70 KG. Ofcourse you have the MAX stars like Kraus, Souwer, Drago... not realistic to count them, but still if you watch in the current pool in that weightclass. Just take a look at the coming K-1 MAX Holland GP (winner advances to Japan for the final eliminations):

William Diender
Joerie Mes
Warren Stevelmans
Imro Main
Ray Staring (too bad though, just retired since yesterday)
Alviar Lima
Marco Pique
Najim Ethoulali

Then you have reserve fighters like Benito Caupain, Tarik Slimani, Junior Gonzalves.

And I haven't even mentioned guys like Ryan Simson, Ali Gunyar, Faldir Chahbari, Menno Dijkstra, Chaid, Tarik El Idrissi, and so on...
