TSA and GG get world’s best K-1 fighters back into Moscow ring

First event in 12 months live on air worldwide on March 23rd
Golden Glory (G.G) and Total Sports Asia (TSA) have partnered to sign K1 superstars Semmy Schilt, Gokhan Saki, Errol Zimmerman and Sergey Kharitonov to exclusive long term contracts. All fighters received signing bonuses to ease the pressure created by the outstanding payments by former K-1 promoters FEG in Japan. TSA and G.G decided to focus on the athletes who have dedicated their lives and careers to reach unmatched levels of martial arts skill in K1 and MMA and the world’s fastest growing sport.

Golden Glory and TSA are delighted to announce their cooperation with the event in Moscow on March 23rd 2012 under the Glory World Series brand using K-1 rules. K-1 has been off the air now for over 12 months and while discussions about acquiring and reviving the K-1 brand continue, TSA and Golden Glory believe that the time has come to put the fighters back into the ring.
GLORY is known as one of the top MMA and stand-up fight promotions in the world in viewership, production quality, and fighter level. The shows are broadcast in the US by HD Net and in over 80 other countries and have been held in Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, and Moscow. Total Sports Asia will be distributing the TV rights of the GLORY Moscow event worldwide.
The main event will be a tribute to 4 x K-1 Champion Semmy Schilt who will make his return to the ring in Moscow. Besides Semmy fighting in the main event, the following fights are already confirmed: Sergey Kharitonov from Moscow (who KO’d Mighty Mo in the Glory World Series finals in 2011) versus Mark “Fight Shark” Miller (who holds the Glory record of fastest KO in less than 10 sec) in a classical Russia vs. USA match up. Another thriller will be Errol Zimmerman vs Jerome Le Banner.
GLORY Moscow will feature fighters from many different countries including MMA fighters Dennis Stojnic (Bosnia), Dion Staring (Holland), Tommy Depret (Belgium) and Kickboxers Robin van Roosmalen (Holland), Igor Jurkovic (Croatia), Maxim Vorovski (Estonia), Mark "Fightshark" Miller (USA), Errol Zimmerman (Surinam), Sergei Kharitonov (Russia), Jerome Le Banner (France), Semmy Schilt (Holland), and more.
Last year’s Glory World Series finals event from Moscow was described as one of the top 3 fighting events of the year by the international MMA press. Golden Glory fighters Gokhan Saki and Siyar Bahadurzada both won the big cash prize of $150.000 in the K1 and the MMA tournament.

$1 Million Dollar Prize for Glory World Series Fight Events 2012

PR Newswire
AMSTERDAM and MOSCOW, January 20, 2012

Golden Glory has partnered with Total Sports Asia to form a powerful team to revive Kickboxing and resuscitate the K-1 rules scene.
The new partnership backed by a group of investors is planning for new tournaments with total prize money of US$ 1 million. This would include a 70Kg and 85kg category (USD 300K each) and a Heavyweight Category which would fight for USD 400K.
Putting up one million dollars for these three tournaments as Prize money will spring new life into the sport of Kickboxing. The partnership believes that 2012 will be the rebirth for stand up striking combat and the sport will take its deserved position alongside the ever growing sport of MMA.
The partnership recently signed and paid the outstanding money to key fighters including Gokhan Saki, Semmy Schilt, Erroll Zimmermann, Sergei Kharitonov and several others. As expected many other fighters have shown interest to sign exclusive deals in hopes to get reimbursed for their FEG outstanding payments as well as having future fights with this new powerhouse Promotion.
Bas Boon, MD of Golden Glory said: "I'm sure Aerts, Petrosyan, Buakaw Por Muak, Jaideep, Texiera and others will soon follow and sign agreements so that Kickboxing can become an international force again and resurrect the history and glory of K-1." ([Link niet meer beschikbaar])

Het ziet er volgens mij allemaal goed uit voor de K1 liefhebbers, een aantal zeer goede vechters hebben ze toch weten te strikken.
Weer iets om naar uit te kijken.
