A lot of fight announcements came in February, but not a lot of fights.  The end result is that we have a lot to look forward to, but not many changes in rankings from last month (aside from our expansion to a Top 25 instead of the former Top 20).

Reigning GP and K-1 SuperHW champion Semmy Schilt holds strong at #1, though he will face a good challenge in Golden Glory teammate #6 Errol Zimmerman on April 3. 

That event is already shaping up to be a stacked HW card as it will also feature #3 Badr Hari v. Alexey Ignashov, #6 Peter Aerts v. #14 Kyotaro, #4 Alistair Overeem v. #25 Dzevad Poturak, and #13 Ruslan Karaev v. #21 Jerome Le Banner.  Big night in Yokohama on April 3.

The other major upcoming card is May 29 for It's Showtime.  That one features #3 Badr Hari v. #8 Hesdy Gerges (who also fights an opponent yet to be named this Saturday in Milan), #12 Tyrone Spong v. #16 Melvin Manhoef, #20 Mourad Bouzidi v. #24 Anderson Silva, and #9 Daniel Ghita v. an opponent yet to be named.

Finally, we can also look forward tothe East Europe GP in Bucharest on May 21.  That card includes #15 Zabit Samedov looking to reenter the Final 16 in the qualifying tournament.  He'll be joined by a few fighters barely outside the top 25, including Alexey Ignashov, Roman Kleibl, and Sergei Lascenko.  Rumored for this card: #2 Remy Bonjasky, though that remains unconfirmed.  Samedov also has a small fight scheduled for March 19 against Rodney Glunder.

That only leaves 2 top 10 fighters currently on the sidelines - #7 Ewerton Teixeira (who I doubt many fans are clamoring to see back) and #10 Pavel Zhuravlev, who has yet to really capitalize on his big win over #17 Gokhan Saki last fall.

nice ranking

will we see -63 Kg ranking after some K-1 events in this new weight division?

Absolutely. I’d like to see how things go and if K-1 is going to really use this division, but if they do, we’ll definitely include that division as well.
