Some notes - Andy Souwer will be the defending S-Cup Champion. He's got great body shots/low kick combo's. His record his 98 fights, 94 wins, 3 losses, 1 Draw
Ole Laursen is quite renowned in Muay Thai circles. he is the IMTC World Welterweight Champion. Fight record 29 fights, 19 wins(12KO), 9 losses and 1 Draw

Jens Pulver needs no intro here - former UFC CHampion who also does pro boxing and anything lse he can lay into. A great all rounder. Don't know how he will deall with all the leg kicks and throws though.

Dai Jyouan is the 2003 u65kg China San Da Champion. Don't know much more about him, apart from he's got great throws. Maybe lkfmdc(sp?) can tell us more?

Albert Kraus won the K-1 MAX in 2002. That year he was on the same team as Andy Souwer, but left just after he won the K - 1. He later beat Andy Souwer in K-1, though I didnt feel that performance was typical of Andy. He usually fights MUCH better. Albert's record is: 41 fights, 32 Wins(21KO's), 6 losses and 3 draws.

Changpuek Chorsepasert is a Muay Thai fighter who also used to do Shootboxing, and successfully so, so he will be well suited for this tourney. He fights out of the ISS gym. Strong Jaw, great leg and middle kicks. Fight record of 119 fights, 93 wins (67KO's), 26 losses

Kenichi Ogata is one of the Stars of Shootboxing. He fought Kozo Takeda in K-1 and was punishing him in the first round, when mysteriously he couldnt answer the belt for the second round due to some leg injury. He is the Shootboxing Japan Super Welterweight Champion. Good all rounder. Painfull low kicks. A bit apprehensive at times though. His record is 38 fights, 27 Wins (18 KO's), 10 losses and 1 Draw

Katel Kubis is part of Team Nogueira(Yip, that one-Mino). Apparently he is Mino's Muay Thai coach. He is the Brazil STORM Muay Thai Champion. He is apparently the best Thai fighter in Brazil who also has fought with some success in Thailand. He has also had 8 pro boxing fights-won 7, 4 by KO. His fight record is: 52 Fights, 49 Wins (9 KO's), 3 Losses

Over a STACKED CARD!! 12 fights in one night. Gonna be great!

I Take Either Pulver Or Kraus Just Because Pulver Understands The Submissions And Takedowns That They Do And He Can ****in Go To War With Anybody And Now He Is 3-0 In Pro Boxing With His Last Fight Via (ko) In The First 53 Seconds-i Dont Know If Any Of You Saw His Fight With Naoya Uemetsa But He Was Lightning Fast Unreal And His Palling Fight Was The War Of The Year.
Kraus On The Other Hand Might Have Trouble With The Submissions And Throws But I Guarantee He Will Control The Clinch And Unleash Devastating Hands Kicks And Knees, He Was Jipped Against Masato In The Last Fight.
But I Could Be Wrong About My Predictions What Do I Know Anyway?
