This will shake MMA up a bit!

I'm really glad this is happening as long as the Yakuza is not involved. The K-1 MMA divisions will be much mor einteresting now if they add all these new faces (Takanori Gomi, Mitsuhiro Ishida, Tatsuya Kawajiri, Gilbert Melendez, Shinya Aoki, Hayato Sakurai, Kazuo Misaki, Hidehiko Yoshida, Makoto Takimoto among others) to the current K-1 Heros roster (Norifumi Yamamoto, JZ Calvan, Kazuyuki Miyata, Joakim Hansen, Caol Uno, Vitor Ribeiro, Hideo Tokoro, Remigijus Morkevicius, Bibiano Fernandes, Yoshihiro Akiyama, Dennis Kang, Taiei Kin, Melvin Manhoef, Zelg Galesic, Kazushi Sakuraba etc).

Besides i'm guessing M-1 will largely coperate with K-1 so i expect to see Fedor Emellianenko as well in these events mixed with fighters such as Sergey Kharitonov, Alistair Overeem, Roman Zentsov, Mark Hunt, Alexander Emelianenko, Mighty Mo, Josh Barnett and very likely Randy Couture (and maybe Andrey Arlovski if he quits the UFC now).
