This match looks like it's a K-1 match but I've never seen it until now. I've heard of the fighters but other than that don't know anything else about them. Devastating right hook counter against a knee by Fuji. The way Magomedov's legs were shaking when he was KOed was disturbing!

Den Muangsurin vs Ceasar
Wow, what a comeback by the Thai fighter, Den Muangsurin. The composure and toughness to keep a level head against the pressure and fight on was amazing.

Kungfu king 2009 - SALIKOV(RUS) vs YuJin(CHN)
Salikov became well known in Chinese Sanda by beating three top Sanda fighters and claiming the Sanda King title two years ago. I've never heard or seen Yu Jin before. I am actually surprised by this Kungfu King event. It seems very similar to the now defunct Sanda Wang promotion. The rules seem to be the same sanda rules, ie. punches, kicks, throws and knees to the body allowed. Despite knees being allowed, I didn't see any knees at all even though there were a number of good opportunities to use in this match. I thought both fighters were quite sloppy in this match. Salikov seems hesitant to engage, choosing to wrestle everytime Yu Jin comes in striking. Yu Jin's striking is really sloppy. I guess it'll still be a while before a top Chinese fighter can make an impact in K-1. *sighs*
