Contender Asia Update<br />July 30, 2009 by nopstar <br /><a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcGhvdG9idWNrZXQuY29t" target="_blank"><img src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm26/teamlocomuaythai/Cont.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />Today I was on the phone with a friend in Bangkok, and they mentioned that they might be meeting up with Malaipet. Really? What’s he doing in Thailand? Is he on holiday?<br />“No… he’s heading to The Contender”<br /><br />I’ve got to apologize to you guys… I’ve been remiss in my duties. I hadn’t spent anytime on the Contender these past few months… I figured there wasn’t really going to be any new developments until (if) the show got going.<br /><br />Turns out I’ve missed quite a bit of news. So they threw a bunch of qualifying events right? Well turns out they aren’t really qualifying events. The shows producers still have a final say on who makes the cut. It’s a little naive to think the best fighters are going to make it on the show. They’ve got to have the skills but at the end of the day, this is a TV show… they’ve got ratings to be concerned about. Stephen Fox was the K-1 forums and left this statement.<br /><br />So I was pretty shocked to here Malaipet was going to be in the competition. Good shocked, he’s a great guy and he’s got some swagger… I think he’ll be a fine addition to the house. So I went to the CA2 site to see whom else I missed.

I’m sure Sherdog is in full effect over Cope. He’s a divisive character. I’m not a big Cope fan… he always claims he’s the best because he’s traveled the world beating the best. I’m not sure Yod, Souwer, Buakaw or anyone in the CA2 house will have heard of his IPMTO title. Anyway, let’s just say I’m psyched he’s going to be on the show.<br /><br />My opinion: Im not a fan of Duane, Cope is a funny guy and I dont think he has fought the best in Muay Thai but he will make the show interesting, and Malaipet........well I hope he takes it serious about it since he is replacing Khem Fairtex a former 130lbs Rajadomnern champion and 2009 Kings Cup Champion, Thailand who was a favorite to win CA2, due to da stupid fact that his english is not that good. Fkn Bull****, but whatever!<br />Khem Fairtex<br /><a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcGhvdG9idWNrZXQuY29t" target="_blank"><img src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm26/teamlocomuaythai/khem.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>
