Just for the record, and in K-1 USA Promoter Scott Coker's defense.
Mr. Coker DOES NOT approve the final fight card for K-1 USA.
Japan K-1 does.

We believe that if Scott Coker and his Team (Mike Sawyer, Cory Schafer and others) had FULL Control over the entire event, you would not only see far better bouts, but also see K-1 back on TV again.

I've met Coker once and he is a pretty good guy. That said, I see what his counterpart in Oceania is doing with a much smaller market and shake my head.
