Something tells me Drago is going to be this years GP champ, this guy is a true phenom.

But damn, there are so many big names in MAX nowdays. I love the big competition

I agree with you when you say there is big competition nowadays in MAX.
Drago is a real good and oncomming fighter indeed, I am glad the made it into the top-leagues, a lot of people underestimate Drago, maybe because they have not seen him fight yet, but I have seen several predictions that he will get KO'd versus Ole Bagio Laursen, I know both fighters and although that a KO by Laursen is not impossible (a KO is never impossible), I don't see it happen to quickly, and I see Drago take the fight rather than Laursen. Not saying Laursen has no chance, just saying that many people seem to underestimate Gago Drago.

War Zambidis!!!

oh man, some potential great matches. i think prettyboy masato will have his ass handed to him by morkevicious, via flying knee straight to the jaw.
zambitis will have a hard time against a taller sato, but should win via ko. the greek punches harder than liddell

kraus should dominate. (i said the same thing about gomi last week)
ole gave genki a hell of at time a heros. now, at k1, he'll probably win
can't wait. most of these fights will be broacast on tbs tv. yeehaa!!!

sorry but you would lose a big money if you make those bets

Masato is not only a prettyboy, he is still the best by the moment after Buakaw. (average fans opinions)

Sato is great fighter with lot of experience in thailand/muaythai
skill-technique > stregth-power
muaythai forever. congratz yoshi-HERO!

OLE in my humble opinion is not at K-1Max top level, since in superleague he neither was of the best. dont know why his chance in max, instead of JWP, Lima Aalviar, El Amrani, Simson, J Fairtex, and a lot more..

glad to see masato and sato pull off the wins. people have to stop hating on masato cos he's a "pretty boy" and a popular fighter.

and am i the only one that finds it frightening how much kraus looks like the late great andy hug on that poster?

Masato vs Mork was interesting , but Masato started beating him down bad at the end, so bad his corner had to throw in the towel, Morks rush in tactics sure backfired on him in this fight.

And Sato pretty much had his way with Zam, although Zam did get some good punchs in at the start.
