I ****ing hate how no one in the UK picks this up! Even Eurosport only show it on delay a couple weeks later. Although i did see the that the last 'It's Showtime' card from Holland with Buakaw, Drago etc. was on Setanta. Hope they put some more on in the future. As for the WGP, I'm pulling for Peter Aerts myself. One of my favourite kickboxers. Also Errol Zimmerman looks like an exciting prospect. Always aggrressive. Should be a good one.
Really looking forward to this. I want to see bad boy Badr Hari get KTFO but im thinking he is the one who is going to be KO'ing people.
