This is a new S. Korean org that appears to be trying to out due Spirit MC by spending the money it takes to get some bigger name fighters. The Kahn used to be a franchise of K1 called K1 KAHN.
Also, I'm pretty sure that they don't have UFC-like contracts, which SMC does.
It was a glitzy event with K1 style kickboxing and MMA mixed in. It was held at the Olympic Gymnasium, which is huge. Also, without a doubt the weirdest announcer in the history of combat sports.
Couldn't have been that many people there, so I doubt they made any money. It was; however, live on TV so I watched while I waited for Strikeforce to download from a totally legal website. Here are the fights worth mentioning. Sorry, if I get the names spelled wrong bc I am translating from Korean and I'm a redneck.

MMA matches were 2 x 5min rounds with one extra tie-breaker possible.
Kickboxing matches were 3 x 3min rounds with one extra tie-breaker possible.

Match #1: MMA
Seung-ho Yang def. Yuki Tokoshikae via U.D.

Match #2: Kickboxing
Bushir Korlosa def. Shinbi Taeoong via U.D. with extra round
I know the spelling has to be wrong. Sorry.

Match #3: MMA
Myung Ho Bae (Team M.A.D.) def. Erik Oganov (Red Devil) via U.D.
Bae is the boyfriend of FeMMA star Su Hi Ham and trains with Dong Hyun Kim. Bae is young, quick, powerful, and also a natural grappler. He is one of a handful of Korean fighters with real experience in Japan, fighting in M.A.R.S.

Match #4: Kickboxing
Sae-ki Kim def. Kishiri via TKO Rd. 2

Match #5: Kickboxing
Soo-jung Lim def. Ashley Lee via doctor stoppage Rd. 3
Ashley showed a lot of heart fighting with a wrecked nose.

Match #6: MMA
Tomohiko Hori def. Jong-man Kim via Split Dec. in the extra round
Kim used to be ranked #9 in the world. He looked terrible in this fight. I don't think he should have even gotten the extra round.

Match #7: Kickboxing
Alexey Ignashov def. Yang-nae Yoo via U.D.

Match #8: Kickboxing
Francois Botha def. Kalkolai via. U.D.

Match #9: MMA
Mu-bae Choi ( Team Tackle ) def. Gary Goodridge via TKO Rd. 2
Choi was looking to wrestle and ate some of Big Daddy’s best shots. Choi ended up catching Goodridge with a right and sent him to the canvas face first in an all too familiar fashion. Choi did his “Saturday Night Fever” pose.
Why Big Daddy, why?

im not saying he isnt tough...but his victories over guys like soa palelei,and giant silva...really didnt impress me skill wise hehehe how could it?? lol

and when he fought kharitonov,he got exposed,you could see the guy didnt even really know how to strike

so i thought thats the last wed hear of him unless he got better
maybe he got better,i mean yoon dong sik certainly surprised the hell out of all of us

i do like choi's travolta dance though

Could it be right around the time they started feeding him lesser competition?

well
i mean kharitonov was the only good fighter he ever fought in my opinion hahha
but im surprised he was able to tko goodridge,i didnt think the guy could strike at all

or do you mean yoon dong sik?
yoon improved even when losing to quinton jackson
and i didnt expect him to beat melvin...

dongbars for all!

True story.

Once I got the chance to see Mu Bae standing outside one of the Pride shows smoking a cigarette and drinking coffee.

Funny thing, He was a Pride fighter at the moment, and he was standing outside the venue between the fans like nothing.

Thanks for the heads up, this one must've slipped under my radar Mu-Bae Choi while not a technically sound striker has a superb chin and the heart of a warrior!

damn
botha is still fighting!
