Mighty MO VS Remy Bonjasky i think is gonna be a good one. Selbee has been taken out of the tourney as well as Mo. Mo being replaced by Carter Williams, which makes sense becausre MO has his spot on the GP from qualifying final 8 last year. Tsuyoshi Nakasako will replace Selbee to fight Mike McD. Thoughts? i think this adds a lil more excitement to the card, and gives us at least one Phat Superfight. Discuss.

[Mad Processor]

Not too shabby, Mo - Bojansky can turn out to be a cool fight! I still see O'Haire - Goodridge turning into a brawl of some kind.

[H]

I think Mo could KO Remy actually. Remy with his flying attacks n such, and the fact that Mo is a skilled boxer, is going to give Mo chances to land a big right countering something from Remy. Remy is fast, but his hands just arent that good. Mo doesnt like taking kicks, but he CAN take them, unless they are flying snap action shin kicks. Mo learned from his fight with Kaoklai. we should expect a war. as for Goodridge vs O'haire, that will look like it was straight out of a bar room. i expect Gary to take it though and lose to Carter in the semi's.

[Mad Processor]

Agree on Goodridge, he better take O'Haire.

I Mo definitely needs to utilize his hands and counter the flying attacks or he's going to go down fast. Remy just needs to execute his gameplan and be prepared for any counter attacks and he'll be fined, he's a fast fucker.

[H]

he is fast, but i also think Mo is a lil underrated again due to losing to Kaoklai, even though while most people would have been out cold from that, Mo still managed to make it to his feet. Mo has a boxing style that applies to K-1 fighting very well. guys that like to kick like Remy can have problems against his style. he won the LVGP by countering kicks into KO's. what i want to know though is whats up with Mark Selbee. he has a pretty decent background, as taken from Kakutougi.info

Height: 6'5" / 198.1cm.
Weight: 225 lbs. / 102 kg.
DOB: 1969
Fight Record: MMA 1-0
Kickboxing: 21-0
Medalist - US OPEN Tae Kwon Do in Colorado Springs
Won East Coast Amateur Title IKF Title
Won United States Professional IKF Title
Won North American Professional IKF Title

i wonder how he can do. its more credentials than anybody expected out of him. he was wrote off a bum but since this info came about, people are now curious. hopefully they dont feed him to somebody very good so he can get killed.

[Mad Processor]

Damn, that's pretty impressive, let's hope he can prove himself then.

I am really looking forward to this card...

I figured he would end up in it. Putting Mo in there was fucked because he earned his spot already. he doesnt have to qualify for a god damn thing. Carter on the other hand, is a damn good fighter with something to prove. He needs to win this tournament as a confidence builder, because he has the skill to bring America their first GP title.

who are the "big players" that could end up in the GP?
Remy, ernesto... will they be in it

[H]

as far as i know, Remy, Hoost, Botha, Mo, Kaoklai, Aerts, Musashi, and Ray Sefo are in it due to their qualifying for the final 8 last year. who could end up in the last 8 spots? could be Carter, Hoost, Ignashov, Choi will be one of them for winning the Asian GP. it could end up a number of people though. id expect to see any or all of the names above. Throw LeBanner in there as well.

[PhatRick]

I thought carter handled himself quite well in the in the asian GP superfight. I would LOVE too see him win the GP!!! But, do you think he can hang with a tourney where he could possibly face like...
Sefo
then Mo
then Remy

and shit like that???

remember, I know nothing about K-1 lol

yeah. he just needs to fight smart. when carter uses his kicks for a whole fight, my god is he a different fighter. but when he gets into that mode that he wants to land the KO punch and thats it, thats when he gets himself into trouble. luckily for Carter, he is still only 24 years old and is this good NOW. eventually hes gonna have one of those years where he just explodes and kicks ass, like Hoost has done in the past, or Hug did in 1996.

[PhatRick]

I am looking forward to that. But, I also hear he is quite an MMA fighter??

[H]

yeah Carter could have a bright career in MMA if the K-1 game was to not work out for him. he has stated in the past that he is comfortable with grappling and the ground game. he does know some BJJ. has submitted an opponent with an armbar, and GNP 2 others to TKO's. id be excited if he ever fought MMA fulltime, cause he would probably kick ass.

[J@ckson]

I saw McDonald last night. He was at the club where I work with a Japanese friend of his.

does he still look in his late 20's like he does in that picture above? thats a man that will never lose his body no matter how old he gets.

[Bishop]

the card looks great. looks like a williams/mcdonald finals

Goodridge just better watch out for the Seanton Bomb

[H]

it will be lights out for BADridge if Ohaire lands the seanton bomb. honestly though this fight is the fuckin bar room brawl. whoever lands the first decent punch is probly going to win, and it will probly end with a brutal KO. Big Daddy likes to goto war and Ohaire isnt all that great a stand up fighter, so there should be some fireworks. Carter should clean house in his bracket. the other side can goto either McD, Cooper, or Feitosa. as long as cooper doesnt get there, we should have a good finals.

[H]

by the way, do the photos with the tourney brackets and superfights show up in this thread or is everyone clicking the link for the fights? i posted the pics but whenever i come into this thread i cant see them unless i edit my post and save changes.

They're not showing up for me anymore.

[H]

i dont get why kakutougi's photos do that. ive spoke with the admins over there and they dont see a problem. thx MP.

[Bishop]

the pics are still working fine for me

[H]

thanx Bishop. its just a problem at kakutougi.info. has to be. no reason for the pictures to show up sometimes then not other times. Bishop, do you know anything about Mark Selbee besides what we already have up top? just wondering if he faced anybody decent with that 21-0 kickboxing record.

[Bishop]

I have absolutely no idea about this Selbe character. I have never heard of him. when I first saw him in the main draw, I was thinking...."man, why are they feeding McDonald?" then I saw some of his credentials and it's pretty damn impressive

i'm just like you, i'm left out in the dark of his past accomplishments other than what's been posted

[H]

yeah their impressive. problem is they said Sean O'haire had a 20-0 kickboxing record and he didnt look that good against Musashi technique wise. so im not all that sure what to expect. curious as to who he fought in MMA. might go check the fight finder at sherdog for that.

[H]

it must be ametuer fight or something cause he isnt listed in their database. oh well guess ill find out soon enough what hes made of.

[Mad Processor]

I haven't heard jack shit about him, but for all we know he could be a solid fighter.

[Bishop]

Sean O'Haire ko'ed Shungo Oyama during the last Rumble on the Rock in....30 seconds I believe

[H]

yeah, i think his striking may suit MMA more. he looked decent in those 30 seconds but when he fought Musashi NYE, he got knocked the hell out, but it was K-1 rule. id much rather see him in MMA where he can punch to downed opponents n such. This fight with goodridge will be a good one though with them both being sluggers looking for the big punch.

[Bishop]

Musashi isn't know for his KO power though. either Musashi has been reserving that power of his with his inner chi or O'Haire lacks the chin to be a true contender in K-1

if it's the latter, Goodridge should have an easy fight

[H]

to give ohaire a lil credit, it was his first k-1 fight and musashi is a skilled fighter. not known for KO power, but he did kick Ohaire in the head and knock him down, and he got up and had to be knocked down multiple times before he died out.

[Bishop]

you're right....Musashi is fighting in the era of the least competition of K-1, but the guy has improved alot since his loss to LeBanner at the 2002 K-1 GP.

O'Haire does get credit for where he comes from. I understand he has a martial arts background, but he'll always be noted as a professional wrestler who transitioned over to K-1/MMA

[H]

no doubt. thats how they can sell his name though. so it isnt all that bad for him. he has a karate background and ametuer kickboxing. his technique just looked a little rusty fighting Musashi. but being it was his first fight it could be chalked upto nerves. he could suprise against BADridge if he actually was just nervous the first go around.
