Press Release: Bregy and Karacs Best in Budapest PDF  | Print |
Posted by K-1 / Monty DiPietro   
BUDAPEST, February 9, 2008 -- Swiss Karate stylist Bjorn Bregy beat Poula Mataele in the Main Event, and Hungarian Kempo fighter Attila Karacs brought the crowd to their feet with his penultimate bout victory over Petr Vondracek tonight at the K-1 Europe Grand Prix '08 Final Elimination in Budapest.

Last year, K-1 expanded westward from its Japanese home and found great success in Korea. Tonight, the world's most prestigious fightsport made a foray eastward from its traditional European base in Holland. Held before a capacity crowd at Budapest Sports Arena, this was the first-ever World GP event in Central Europe. The one-match tournament qualified six fighters for this year's Europe GP Final, set for Amsterdam in April.

In the first tournament elimination matchup it was last year's WGP Las Vegas finalist Zabit Samedov of Belarus taking on Brazilian Muay Thai fighter Vitor Miranda. A fast and technical first round, both men throwing good hard kicks and combinations, closing aggressively with the fists. In the second, Miranda was first forward, leading with the jab and pumping in the body blows. Samedov threw some good hard stuff and scored the Strike of the round with a high Kick, but Miranda's blocking was otherwise good, as were his counters. Samedov set the pace in the third, in early with body blows and uppercuts, making partial contact with a spinning back punch. Miranda wanted to mix it up late, but Samedov wisely stayed back, and picked up the win by majority decision.

Posted by Rob Curry   
Bibiano FernandesBibiano Fernandes has officially signed with Fight Entertainment Group (FEG), and will make his K-1 HERO'S debut on 17th September, speaking to sherdog Fernandes said:

"Since last year that I was negotiating to sign with the event," Fernandes told Sherdog.com. "But I was focused on my jiu-jitsu career and then we kept postponing. 'Black Mamba' trained with me for his last fight when defeated Hideo Tokoro. The Japanese liked how he looked very much and then we redid this contact. I knew that I would fight this year there."

"I am focused," he said. "Already I have trained sufficiently for a long time and I will be ready to face anyone. Yamamoto is a great fighter, but I'm going there to make a great presentation and be successful."

Oficially the bout has not been confirmed by FEG but it is expected to be announced soon.
