Results are in for this weekend's K-1 ColliZion show. The event was highlighted by a one night 8-man tournament. The tournament got off to a rocky start as two of the favorites, Freddy Kemayo and Peter Vondracek, both dropped out shortly before the event, leaving Sebastian Ciobanu the new favorite. After Ciobanu was defeated in round 1, it was Roman Kleibl who emerged victorious, defeating Mladen Brestovac by decision in the finals after two extension rounds. The fight was not without controversy though, as many feel Brestovac clearly won in the extension rounds. Despite the questions, this is a good win for Kleibl, and may earn him a K-1 shot next year.
In other notable results, top 10 MAX fighters Artur Kyshenko and Albert Kraus both scored wins in their fights. Kyshenko defeated Vladimir Moravcik via a nasty near CroCop-esque headkick KO in round 2, although the highly ranked Kyshenko did not look at peak form in the first round. Kraus on the other hand put an absolute beating on Jan Mazur, stopping him in round 2 after numerous knockdowns.
In the other biggest result of the night, ColliZion's biggest star, MMA's Alexandru Lungu, lost in the 2nd round of his MMA fight. This is an unfortunate loss for ColliZion, as Lungu was being heavily built up by the company.
Finally, the planned fight between Alexey Ignashov and Koos Wessels was scraped when Ignashov was forced to withdraw.
