King of Kings returned to the ASG Arena in Vilnius, Lithuania in front of a jam-packed crowd for kickboxing’s biggest event of the year. There were two events in one as the first six fights of the evening were under the MMA Bushido banner and the last six were part of the KOK Mega Series. The main event of the evening saw KOK and Glory champion Sergej Maslobojev make a successful return to KOK with a quick first round knockout victory over England’s heavy-hitter Rhys Brudenell. A four-man lightweight tournament also took place with Ukraine’s Anton Podgoryj emerging victorious. The full results for the evening can be found below.
