So That Semmy Schilt Belt Thing...

"excusses to all who are genuinely concerned about my #k1belt. It was a hoax now i hope www.themotherlovers.nl break through"

The Mother Lovers are a Norwegian band who Semmy is helping promote by appearing in their next video, and apparently faking having his belt stolen in a weird promotional stunt. On the one hand, how is this a promotional stunt? On the other - had you ever heard of The Mother Lovers before? No? Well, now you have.

Is there like a source to that?

That is the only place I’m seeing it and the quote isn’t attributed to anywhere.

dunno…
seems like it came from a japanese site???

the story about the hoax that could have some consequences for K1-champion Sem Schilt is confirmed by a source close to the fighter.
and:
The same source told K1-doctor.jp that Schilt and his team are thinking about fighting in the UFC if the K1 won’t let him fight in the WGP.
“Schilt has fought mma in the past and says that he will be able to defeat Brock Lesnar. Talks with Dana White have already started and a 3 fight contract is a possibility.”

k1-doctor.jp doesn't work

I just can’t on good faith post anything without a reliable source, sadly.

K1-doctor.jp LoL Someone should really think and list a site that actually exists for a troll job.

Exactly

I refuse to just quote shit that doesn’t seem legit.

Would be very interesting to see Semmy move from K-1 to MMA. What would the implications be? The sports most dominant champion moving to another combat arena. I’m anxious to see if this comes to fruition.
