K-1: USA vs. China fight card set

The K-1: China vs. USA event is set for January 1, 2015 in China. Rumors of the fight card were reported  about a month ago. They included Kevin Ross and Tiffany van Soest as part of team USA, but those rumors turned out not to be true. Ross and van Soest had contractual obligations with Lion Fight which did not allow them to compete despite the initial reports from K-1.

The new fight card will now feature Andrew Tate, Justin Greskiewicz and Gabriel Varga. It is unknown if Varga’s fight will be considered part of the China vs. USA portion of the card being that Varga is Canadian.

Tate will face Lian Ling, it will be Tate’s first fight since winning the Enfusion cruiserweight title by defeating Wendell Roache by (T)KO. Varga who was last in action at Glory 17 when he won the Glory featherweight contenders tournament will take on Dong Soo Kim.

Fight Card:
Gabriel Varga vs. Dong Soo Kim

Justin Greskiewicz vs. Li Yun Kun
Sanja Sucevic vs. E Meidie
Lei Peng Hui vs. Joe Logan
