K-1 MMA: Romanex Preview

Intro

Pro wrestlers and kickboxers battle under MMA rules on a card featuring everything: multiple UFC veterans, a pair of Inoki disciples and of course, a Gracie.

A new chapter of MMA begins this weekend as the #1 kickboxing promotion in the world delivers its first all mixed martial arts card in Japan. We’ll see an all-star affair that showcases top talent from both of the rival organizations.
