FieLDS K-1 World GP 2009 Yokohama Airs Tonight on HDNet


The first event of the highly anticipated K-1 World Grand Prix 2009 kicks off at 4am eastern time tonight on HDNet. The main event features last year's winner Remy Bonjasky taking on the red hot Alistair Overeem. Overeem, an MMA fighter normally, knocked out K-1 resident bad boy Badr Hari to the suprise of the K-1 world last year.

Bonjasky won the grand prix last year after Hari was disqualified for illegal blows. There has been a war of words lately between Bonjasky and Overeem. Bonjasky has the weight of the K-1 world on his shoulders as he is dealt with the task of defending his sport against an MMA fighter.
