    No K-1 is kickboxing only.

    He's a great striker, but the best guy in striking sports isn't always the best striker in MMA, same for wrestling, same for Judo, and BJJ.

    not true k-1 is a promotion that has had manny mma bouts they also use to have heros which was run by k-1 and on the new years eve shows they often have had mma. but ernesto has never done mma just kick boxing.

    i wouldnt say penn simply because the only thing he has is his jab. i dont see him throw many combos or kicks. he has a bad ass jab which is an underated and not often used tool in mma, but his over all striking isnt that great. noons is good alves is good but clearly a roider, bang are good additions.

    Hero's was run by FEG as a separate MMA promotion from K-1 etc. FEG also own K-1 and Dream. Not Hero's run by K-1 i think. The end of year shows are actually FEG cards bringing all their major promotions together. It is probably put under the name K-1 because it is better known and an established org.

    Mirco cro cop - best technical striking
    Wanderlei Silva - best finisher when he gets an opening.

    from my understanding feg is the corporation that ownes k-1 much like dse owned pride and seg use to own ufc and how zuffa now dose. i also thought that feg owned and ran heros an off shoot of k-1. dream is a combination of feg and dse staff that im sure about.
