Bloke hasn't fought in a long time, since 2007. Any ideas why he's out? Injuries?

He's such an exciting fighter. I was just looking at his record. Only loss on cuts, similar to Fedor. If he gets fighting again, I can definately see him being P4P top 10.

no i think mike would ko him in k1 again, the kid is much better at mma because of his world class wrestling skills i never fancied him much at k1. I would love to see kid fight bj penn that would be a nice fight.

He is currently injured but he could be back for the 2nd round of the Dream Featherweight GP.

Just checked his K-1 record. Not surprised he lost two. Zambidis and Masato. Some big competition there. Plus he's a wrestler at heart.

On the subject of K-1, the recent New Years card makes you realise just how good some of the strikers in MMA are. Who would have expected Mousasi to beat Hari?

Yep. His striking us under-rated i think. Good hands and power.

I don't think so. Kid is to small for Penn and is naturally a 145er

penn is a natural 155 but he fought gsp at 170 when a p4p talent is fighting it should still make a good fight.

And look how the GSP fight turned out. Kid is good but he's to small for Penn. Look at the picture Kid and Penn together and you tell me if you still think it's a good idea.

155-170 is a bigger weight difference than 145-155, also gsp is very big for 170 pound fighter were as penn isn't really a huge 155 pound guy. I think peen would win a fight between the two of them but i think it would be a much better fight than you think.
