K-1’s card in Osaka this weekend was set up with a lot of rebound and stay busy fights. The absence of truly big match ups, frankly, looked weak on paper. But, as Dana White really wants fans to believe “the weakest cards on paper deliver the most excitement.”
That line may be one of the bigger pieces of BS ever fed to viewers in the history of prize fighting, but once in a while the adage actually comes true. This was one of those times. Those who tuned in were treated to big KO’s, ‘rebound’ opponents exceeding expectations, and a few fun brawls.
