Thanks mate, you going to come up? Any predictions, as you've mixed it with a few of these guys and maybe best placed to make a prediction?

The plan for the draw is to do it before the show starts, unless I get some good media interest to do it at the weighin, then that will be the plan. It keeps the edge on it if knowbody knows how they are fighting till an hour before. Basically, numbered balls in a bag and drawn. Some people advised doing it the K1 way with the 2 pools of fighters, or even doing 2 pools with the 4 heaviest and lightest. But I think the fairest way is just to put everyone in and do it at random.

I've went through about 15 fighters for this 8to1, so been hard going, but so excited with the lineup. Need to thank all the fighters and coaches that have been involved in whatever degree, if its half as good as it looks on paper, I'll be delighted! Also need to say thanks Paul Sutton for helping secure Varats and also to Dean White, who has been a great help in confirming a good Thai addition to the lineup at very short notice and also the guys at the WMC for making quick moves on the Visa.
