There will be a total of four events that will be streamed live in 2012. In 2013, the K-1 events will move from Spike.com to Spike TV”

  2. Brend0magic says:

    **** yea! Will be watching this for sure.

  3. 808 says:

    The sales aren’t doing so well for the event; it’s now a 2 for 1 deal for tickets.

  4. Mayor of Deviance says:

    I wish this event was around where I live. I wouldn’t need to know the fighters or anything, these sound like cool fights to see.

    215lbs guy vs. a 280lbs guy on top of 14 other fights? Awesome.
