11th Fight Added to 63kg Grand Prix
An 11th fight has been added to the opening round of the K-1 63kg GP. Haruaki Otsuki will face Yoshimichi Matsumoto. With this fight added, at least three of the round one winners will not receive invitations to the final 8.
Otsuki was mentioned early on as a possible participant, however Tanigawa said he would not be involved because his style was not a good fit for K-1. Apparently, Otsuki's fans flooded K-1 with calls of support, and Tanigawa caved, allowing Otsuki to get his shot.
