Since Jerome LeBanner is injured, Cyril Adibi was pulled out of his scheduled fight with Ernesto Hoost, and now Cyril Adibi will be the one going up against Frans Botha.
-This left Ernesto Hoost without an opponent, so K-1 called in Peter Graham to step up at the last minute and fight Hoost. Peter Graham has a 9-3 record in K-1, including decision victories in 2001 against Jan "The Giant" Nortje and Mark Hunt (who would later go on to win the 2001 K-1 World Grand Prix).
-Also, the fight previously listed as Peter Aerts vs. Jerrel Venetiaan is now listed as Peter Aerts vs. TBA. It is not known why Venetiaan has apparently been pulled from the event, but it is worth pointing out that Venetiaan did fail a K-1 drug test earlier this year and was suspended for a period of time. Certainly another failed drug test would result in Venetiaan being pulled from this card as well, but it's not yet known if that is the case.
