Having returned and regained strength and 60 thousand. The Japanese K-1 Global organization, which gathers K-1 fans to arenas, is expanding outside of Japan. Already in the coming year, the organization plans to organize qualifying K-1 "Grand Prix" tournaments in Singapore, northern and old Europe. The winners of the qualifying tournaments will meet at the final New Year's K-1 Global event in Japan.
In addition, K-1 Global has good news for grappling and MMA fighters, as there will also be MMA fights with millions of fans worldwide, for which the legendary Kazushi Sakuraba has already been appointed.
In the near future Japanese plans are to establish a joint council of the world's strongest martial arts organizations, where global issues of the world of martial arts would be discussed and resolved. The heads of these organizations - "ONE Championship", "Glory", KOK, ISKA, "Shoot Boxing", KSW, "Senshi", "Rise" were invited to the council.
KOK has already received an official invitation to participate in the activities of the council.
The K-1 organization is conducting negotiations with the strongest organizers of the world's martial arts regarding the organization of the qualifying "Grand Prix" tournaments: in Singapore - with representatives of "ONE Championship", regarding the tournament in old Europe - with the "Glory" organization, in northern Europe - with the organizer of KOK tournaments, Lithuanian President of the Bushido Federation, Donatus Simanaičius.
Since everything is still in the stage of discussion and negotiations, where and when the aforementioned tournaments will be held is still unclear, everything will become clear in the fall. The final points will be added when LBF president Donatas Simanaitis visits Japan on September 9, at the heavyweight K-1 "Grand Prix" tournament organized by "K-1 Global", in which the interim heavyweight champion delegated by KOK, Slovakian fighter Martinas Pacas, will participate.
It seems that the oldest martial arts organization may indeed become the platform for the world's strongest martial arts organizations to finally peacefully find out which fighters are the strongest of the strongest. It is extremely happy that all Lithuanian fighters of MMA, grappling and K-1 sports have a new opportunity to once again make the name of Lithuania famous in the birthplace of eastern martial arts - the land of the rising sun in Japan and around the world.
