What... The... F*&%??? AKA Jose Canseco fighting @ K-1 Dream 9

So, I go over to Bloody Elbow to see the latest MMA news and I see something about K-1 putting on a "Super Hulk" tournament with the fights being:

Bob Sapp(>300 lbs) vs. Ikuhisa Minowa(185 lbs)

Jan "The Giant" Nortje(>300 lbs) vs. Soukoudjou(200 lbs)

Mark Hunt(>300 lbs) vs. Gegard Mousasi(200 lbs)

and... Here is the greatest fight of all time,

Hong-Man Choi (>300 lbs >7 feet tall) vs Jose Canseco (Yes, THAT Jose Canseco)


My first thought is that it's Japanese April Fool's Day or something, but then I go to K-1's official English website, and... there it is, in all it's glory http://www.k-1.co.jp/k-1gp/top922.htm Holy Crap, this looks like it's real. And I can only hope that it is. I would love to watch this tournament. Besides the "Super Hulk" tournament, there are a bunch of other great fights on this card, Ronaldo "Jacare" vs. Jason "Mayhem" Miller (the host of Bully Beatdown for those of you that only know him as a TV host). And the 2nd round of the Featherweight tournament, with the return of "Kid" Yamamoto. Who was, at one time, considered one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world.

Damnit, I wish I had money to go to Japan to see this. Or at least if I had HDNet, if they're even showing it...
