Loretta Hunt from The Fight Network reported today on the Fight Network radio show that the K-1 Hero’s card scheduled for June 2 in the LA Coliseum is in serious trouble.
To start with, Hunt reports that the K-1 show has not yet received a license from the California State Athletic Commission to even hold the even.t
With only 10 days left till 22 fighters are supposed to step on the scales, promoters Fight Entertainment Group (FEG) have yet to be granted their requisite license by the California State Athletic Commission.
A CSAC representative says the hold-up has been FEG’s inability and hesitation to submit financial paperwork, requirements the state agency stipulates of all its applicants.
“We’re not asking anything different of them that we wouldn’t ask of a promotion, big and small,†said a CSAC rep.
According to the CSAC, FEG has also failed to submit the bond necessary to cover fighters’ purses after numerous requests. Without the bond, the CSAC says the event will not take place.
In addition, lightweight Javier Vasquez will not be competing on June 2’s card against intended opponent Katsuhiko Nagata. In his place, FEG officials submitted a request for none other than Gabe Ruediger, who has been under the microscope for his recent turn on “The Ultimate Fighter 5,†airing Thursdays on Spike TV. While it is probable Ruediger is still under contract with the UFC, the CSAC has already rejected the bout because Ruediger is listed as still under suspension in Nevada.
As of today, headliner Brock Lesnar remains the only fighter cleared to compete on the “Dynamite†card. The CSAC says it has not received even preliminary paperwork for 19 of the 22 fighters slated to compete. This includes the 14 foreign fighters K-1 had agreed to deliver stateside beginning May 17.

Mickey Mouse Donald Duck buncha Circus freak idiots…. lol ..

F ight
A thelic
G roup
Now they are saying this event will most likely happen and things are falling into place …. nuts …
brock lesnar isnt that old guys if that guy does some serious training im not gonna say but hes big
i think lesner will end up an mma side show, a mid card fighter at best. yes lesner is huge and powerful but people wont be letting him slam them in mma, in mma they REALLY fight back. could you see lesner throwing fedor around without getting his head punched off?
Anyone can improve their game and with what he already has in his arsenal, I mean he is as decorated as Matt Hughes wrestling wise, so who’s to say he can’t learn BJJ and striking and be a top contender?
Rampage learning & training jui jistsu, yea right!!!!!! not with a fighting style he calls “whoop yo *** fighting style” and we all know he knows a little of it but he said he would pass up a submission or armbar to try and ground and pound you, and all the training reginemnts i seen him in i havnt seen him once training on the ground!!!! unless he is hiding something from chuck but i dought it. He wants to knock chuck out PERIOD. If it goes to the ground (which i doubt) chuck will get up.
Predictions:
Carmelo Marrero Vs. Wilson Gouveia
Marrero by submission 2nd rd
Jeremy Stephens Vs. Din Thomas
din thomas by ko 3rd rd
Sean Salmon Vs. Alan Belcher
