Upcoming Lineup for June 2nd K-1 Dynamite USA Show

K-1 is going to be running a show with ProElite and also Showtime on June 2^nd in Los Angeles. The nice thing about them hooking up with Showtime is that you will get some free previews for the show via Showtime. You can already TIVO them now, actually. The other thing is that the PPV airdate will be the same day as the show as opposed to the normally taped ones that sometimes take a month to appear on US PPV, if they appear at all.

The cost, I think, will be the same if less than a regular UFC PPV. The features being touted are the debut of Brock Lesnar vs Hong-Man Choi and Royce Gracie vs Kazushi Sakuraba. Each is scheduled to go 5 rounds for 5 minutes.

At the moment the only matches scheduled are HERO's Rules MMA matches with no K-1 Kickboxing one, perhaps in an attempt to compete with UFC. Personally, I think it's a bit of a shame, as traditional Dynamite shows often mix the two with, in my opinion, great success. Still, the card looks solid.

Tickets are still available, with information on how to get them at the bottom of the post.

Here is the full card (which has links to fighter bios)
