New K-1 ColliZion fights: Morosanu v. Die Faust, Ignashov v. Ciobanu

Chalid Die Faust

Chalid Die Faust

In the wake of this weekend's K-1 ColliZion show Kombat.ro has announced two fights for their upcoming events:

In January, Catalin Morosanu will face Chalid "Die Faust" Arrab.  Morosanu of course is coming off his victory over Mighty Mo, while Arrab is rumored to be facing Daniel Ghita in a reserve fight at the Grand Prix.  This is a very similar opponent for Morosanu as Mighty Mo - a chance ighter to face a known name who poses a minimal risk and continue building a resume.

And, for the next ColliZion event, Alexey Ignashov was challenged by Sebastian Ciobanu and verbally agreed to the fight.  Ciobanu is the perfect level of opponent for Ignashov right now.  There's no need for Alexey to face competition as weak as Sparks, but he also shouldn't be thrown in against a fighter like Schilt.  Ciobanu will be a great test to see if Ignashov still is relevant, or if this win was a one time return to glory.

Morasanu vs Die Faust is not a bad scrap, I think Catalin takes it.

Collizion events are 1 night tourneys, right? I know that this is a superfight, but I was wondering about the rules of the Collizion matches specifically. Thanks!

1 night tournaments

Not necessarily. Really, ColliZion is similar to K-1 in that there are some tournaments, but also some super fights (though I would say ColliZion has more stand alone fights).

For example, at the last card, the first 3 fights along with Vondracek’s fight were all the round of 8 for a tournament which will continue at the next card, while the rest of the fights were stand-along fights. Both Morosanu v. Die Faust and Ignashov v. Ciobanu will be stand alone fights.

As for specific rules within fights, they are the same as your standard K-1 rules.
