Re: K-1 World Grand Prix 2010 Final (Dec. 11th) There is a rumour that reigning champion Semmy Schilt has been disqualified from this event because his trainers put tape on a cut on his shin in his last fight without first consulting the ring officials. If so this is going to be one of the weakest fields in recent memory. Schilt and Remy Bonjasky have combined to win the last seven finals. Bonjasky is recovering from surgery and unable to participate. Also absent is Badr Hari, last years runner-up, who is generally regarded as a top-3 or top-4 competitor.
Re: K-1 World Grand Prix 2010 Final (Dec. 11th) ^ The same report claims Hesdy Gerges will replace Schilt.
Re: K-1 World Grand Prix 2010 Final (Dec. 11th) Schilt still scheduled to compete. Other bouts announced (Gerges vs. Fujimoto, Jaideep vs. Kharitonov, and Teixeira vs. Zimmerman). No Badr Hari, Jerome Le Banner, or Remy Bonjasky.
