Haven't seen K1 in a while, mostly followed Glory after K1 went defunct.
I don't know if it was Glory trying to kill them off via rumor-milling or what, but I took news that K1 was bankrupt at face value and I never checked for another K1 card ever again.
What's the ownership structure like? K1 in full operation again? Or is all the talent still with the Holland promotion.

I'd agree with that. If he smokes Poirier then he's earned top contention with Khabib.

I don't even know, I don't even really follow them unless I stumble across something.

Extension of current contract, or new deal signed?
he had a contract similar to Anderson silva, just less money. Paying him 1 million in guaranteed cash to come fall down from 2010 to 2020.
If they resigned him for same money, then the UFC is unethical since its obvious Reem only continued fighting for the paychecks.
The ethical thing to do was 5 years ago cut his pay by 50% to give him less incentive to fight and hope he walks away.
His original contract being extended so long, for big money, never made sense when he had lost 3-4 of his last fights. Ridiculous.
Now it sounds like they are giving him another one.

I could see him do another run, though. Maybe not win, but another 2 years, sure.
He's won four of his last five, and he was a hair away from winning 5 of 5 against jairzinho.
Do I think he's worth the 800k guaranteed I think he was getting? Maybe not now, but he was ranked higher at one time, and he's still probably a decent draw on name alone.
Are you sure that's right? Didn't he sign after he beat JDS and had won three of his last 4 at the time?

Things "turned up" for him, yeah.
But nobody was ever all that sold on it. Cain had already soul-snatched JDS and JDS is about on the same level of head-trauma as Reem, after just those pair of Cain fights.

Felder looked good on the feet tonight. RDA was just too tough and persistent with those takedowns. I think Felder hesitated throwing an uppercut around the middle of round 3 and just couldn't capitalize on anything after that.
