Ewerton Teixeira
K-1, the biggest striking tournament today, held the round of XNUMX of the organization's World GP this morning (Brasília time). The event took place in Seoul, South Korea, and featured very lively disputes, as well as some controversies.
Considered GP favorites, the Dutch alistair overeem and Semmy Schilt passed Ben Edwards and Hesdy Gerges, respectively.
The only Brazilian in the dispute, Ewerton Teixeira had a balanced duel against three-time champion Peter Aerts, being defeated by the judges' decision after an extra round.
