Royce vs. Akebono K1 World Grand Prix

[aseepish]

This New Year's Eve in Osaka Royce Gracie will face Akebono. What do you guys think? Is this match up even worthy of comment?

I think it may not even happen. Apparently DSE (Pride) has a contract with Royce that gives them (DSE) the right of last refusal and they (again, DSE) have sent a legal notice to K1 and Royce's representatives stating that they do not want Royce on that card.

So . . . who knows???

And Royce has apparently demanded a no time limit stipulation for the Akebono fight so be prrepared for a 35 minute hug and hold session.

What are the proposed RULES?
