Today Head Kick Legend was made aware by a number of solid sources that Amsterdam's It's Showtime promotion, led by Simon Rutz, has been working towards a full-on assault on the American market by running shows in the US in 2011. It's Showtime late last week claimed they had big news coming up and the general rumblings were that it would simply involve Badr Hari who was being released from prison and facing a hearing this Monday. They also hinted that this big news involved K-1, whom they work closely with.

Our sources have hinted that there is a plan for multiple shows in the United States, with a possible first show happening early in 2011 in Oklahoma (a strong MMA market). It's Showtime's management company, Black Label, currently employs such world-famous kickboxers as Badr Hari, Hesdy Gerges, Tyrone Spong, Giorgio Petrosyan, Melvin Manhoef, Gago Drago, Pajonsuk and many, many more. With the right partners in the United States, It's Showtime and kickboxing in general could be a giant success.

I'm glad. This could lead to something if things are really as bad as they appear to be for K-1. Gorgio Petrosyan in the US would be epic. Does It's Showtime use rules similar to K-1?


Welcome to the site btw, good posts.
