With K-1 definitely being worse for wear right now, any type of buzz for their MAX Final 8 event on December 15 in Athens, Greece is nonexistent, as if it's not even happening. There's no news or anything coming from K-1 themselves, which isn't surprising considering that the exact same thing happened in the lead up to the WGP Final 16 in October. However, there have been a few new match-ups added to the card. 

Abraham Roqueni will fight Xu Yan in a reserve fight for the 70kg tournament that takes place on the event. Roqueni and Yan both lost in the Final 16, to Andy Souwer and Yasuhiro Kido respectively.

Another match-up added is Valdet Gashi vs. Salah Abdelsalam. Salah just won at Muay Thai in America this past weekend against fellow K-1 participant Justin Greskiewicz. Along with that in the super fight category, two Turks will fight as Erkan Varol faces Sami Akin.

As for the weights of the two super fights, I'm guessing 70kg but we don't know for sure because the news isn't coming from K-1.
