ViralBlog is proud to be the sponsor of super heavyweight kickboxer Hesdy Fighterheart Gerges at the K-1 WGP final in Zagreb, Croatia.

Hesdy Gerges is a super heavyweight world champion kickboxer from Amsterdam, fighting for Chakuriki gym. He will fight in the final 8 at the K-1 World Grand Prix final on March 15.

We are proud to be Hesdy’s sponsor and we wish him good luck in his first fight against Ismael Londt. If Gerges wins this fight, he might meet Badr Hari in the 1/2 final to qualify himself for the final fight.

Why is ViralBlog a sponsor at the K-1 WGP?
Mainly because Hesdy is a friend and I do his PR and sponsoring.

Another good reason is that K-1 fits our disruptive and viral DNA. We have been fighting our way up the last 5 years.

Last but not least, the UFC geared-up MMA to the #4 Pay TV sports in the USA. So sponsoring Hesdy at the K-1 WGP will give our blog millions of eyeballs on TV and on web video in the long tail. K-1 is getting mainstream as well.

So we sincerely hope that Hesdy will be the last man standing. But we wish the 7 other gladiators a great tournament as well. We hope you enjoy it.

Osu!
