Fan Voting for Wildcard Spots in K-1 GP Live NOW; Go Vote Already!

Get out there and vote, maybe you can prevent Sem Schilt from winning again.

Sure, you might not be an avid voter in the real world, you might not want to wade through the key differences between your local Republicans or Democrats, and you aren't quite sure what this whole Tea Party thing going on in the US is right now. That's okay, you can fulfill your civic duty as a combat sports fan without pesky registration forms and having to roll in to an elementary school parking lot and feel like a bit of a creep for once. 

K-1 has finally opened up their fan poll on their site for who should be awarded Wild Card spots to this year's World Grand Prix Final 16. Before you scoff at this and say that it is just a poll on a website and K-1 won't live up to their word, I'll remind you that last year Alistair Overeem lead the pack on this poll and it earned him his Wild Card spot. 

Do you really want a World Grand Prix without Peter Aerts? Alexey Ignashov was kicked out of the GP due to an injury, maybe he should get another shot at redemption? Tyrone Spong might be small, but he has a win over the Heavyweight Champion. Hesdy Gerges put on a gutsy performance against Badr Hari and now holds a win over him. Gokhan Saki qualified last year but had to sit out due to injury. Melvin Manhoef can knock anybody out just as easily as he can be knocked out. Hell, Andrei Arlovski is on this poll, and we know that he has had extensive talks with FEG in the past to participate in DREAM, so why not K-1? 

Go vote. You'll thank me.

I voted for Andrei Arlovski. I don’t know if he will make much noise, but it was a such a random choice I figured hey why not? Overeem vs Arlovski in K-1 sounds like a Highlight KO waiting to happen.

Bring the Carnage

Nathan Corbett is a monster, this guy deserves a shot in the K1 GP.. he’s 49 -2 and moved up to heavyweight, although his specialty are elbows I’m sure he can deliver without them

Patrice Quarteron? Bizarre.

Got to be Gohkan Saki. He’s looked real good in his past two fights against quality guys in Singh Jaideep and Melvin Manhoef and he was left out last year due to injury.

This got my vote as well, i wanted to go Manhoef, but Saki will have a better chance to get to the title.

Didn't get the promised 'massage'...

There were lots of names – should Quarterton get a shot at his ‘revenge’? I chose Carnage, unlikely though it is he will actually take part.

Too many choices.. cruel to make you pick only one. I went with Iggy for old times sakes..

Iggy!

Iggy is the best!!!! Vote for him!!!!

I ended up voting for Singh “Heart” Jaideep; the kids got some talent, he just needs to learn how to use his reach well to establish a distance. If he can learn how to successfully throw a jab he’ll be in business. Hopefully he’s be working on that.
