No Hiroya makes me sad :(

I just realised, Andy Ologun is Bobby Ologuns broski, interesting.

No Hiroya but you get to see Dida. :D

Some of the best hands in K-1/MMA to boot too!

Here we go time to see Dida fight the best strikers in the world.

Now I\'m just curious how would he rank in your minds against the other rumored guys.

Probably last lol

Hmmm just quickly ranking them the top couple.

Buakaw Por. Pramuk
Yoshihiro Sato
Drago
Yasuhiro Kido
Andre Dida

I wonder who is actually gonna end up in the tourny because there are to many big names for them to all be in this one. My guess is Kido is in and the rest are in super fights. Buakaw might fight Dida because I know they tried to make that fight once already.

Dida seemed really excited about the chance to fight Buakaw and considering he is one of the best MAX kickboxers I think it would be a great test since Buakaw is the basically the best striker he can face.

Ehh, if Buakaw fights smart, he can keep Dida away all night with his kicks. This fight definitely won\'t be a boxing clinic, but I\'d still say Buakaw has better hands.

Kraus has great hands, and I don\'t think he beat Buakaw the other day in Showtime. Don\'t think he should of been close to beating him. So I\'m doubting Dida would be able to do much against him. They will actually score Buakaw\'s kicks in K-1 Max.

Isn\'t it about time Kozo Takeda retired?

I know this thread is old and you guys haven\'t replied in here for quite some time but I had to say how excited I am for this years MAX and WGP. I\'m so pissed that I missed the end of both in 2008. I should have been up all damn night chatting with you guys while watching them.
