[K-1 MAX]: West Europe GP risultati - perde l'italiano Saro Presti (21/03/2010)
A Muay Thai fighter, Khamal's last high profile fight was a big win over renowned fighter Anuwat at Slamm 6 in November. At that event he competed at his normal weight of 62 kg. Highly popular, many pegged Khamal as a favorite to win this tournament, despite the size disadvantage of moving up a weight class. On his way to the finals, Khamal defeated Chris van Venrooij and Robin van Roosmalen. In the finals, Khamal faced our early pick to win the tournament, It's Showtime fighter Harut Grigorian, ending Grigorian's night via TKO in round 2.
The show also featured last year's tournament winner Leroy Kaestner in non-tournament action. Kaestner has had some tough loses in the past year against stiff competition, including Andy Souwer, Yasuhiro Kido, and Nieky Holzken. Here, Kaestner was able to get back in the winner's column, defeating Menno Dijkstra via decision.
