Why Do K-1 Need Superfight Champions?

quote:As anyone that calls themselves a fan of K-1 knows, the 4th of March 2007 marks a day of major changes in K-1. This is the day the first ever K-1 champion will be crowned that did not have to go through the grueling Grand Prix to receive the title. For lack of a better word, one fighter will become the Super Heavyweight ?gSuperfight?h Champion. In addition there will be two fights that will act as semi-finals to decide which two fighters have what it takes to battle for the Heavyweight equivalent at the next event.

This is an exciting prospect as many of the more aggressive fighters in K-1 find themselves with an ever-growing fan base in part due to the fact that they are willing to go that extra yard to make sure those fans stay satisfied. Even when that means taking the odd hard knock or occasional unnecessary risk. Some fighters are just naturals at minimizing damage to themselves, and they make brilliant tournament fighters. Others manage to get the fans off their seats due to the sheer entertainment value of watching them give everything they have to ensure the fight is decided by the fighters, and not those pesky judges. This latter category of fighters has finally been given their chance to shine.

The rest is here for anyone interested. http://kakutougi.info/content/view/337/2/

Does this lead to a possibility for a K1 Max Super Fight Champion?

I would expect one, but perhaps not for a year or two.

My original 'no' was in response to the question in the thread title.

Aha! That answers it. Well, I guess you missed the "Why" part though ;)
