K-1 Great Semmy Schilt in Talks With Dana White, Claims He Can Beat Brock Lesnar? *UPDATE

Lista_luptatori_k1_world_gp_2009_medium

Fighters Only reports on the interesting revelation:

"Schilt has fought MMA in the past and says that he will be able to defeat Brock Lesnar. Talks with Dana White have already started and a 3 fight contract is a possibility."

This statement comes shortly after a situation arose between Schilt and K-1, where K-1 executives weren't amused with a joke Schilt made on a radio station, claiming the K-1 belt had been stolen.  K-1 threatened to keep Semmy Schilt out of the next Grand Prix, and one ponders what exactly is the motivation behind that.  It seems the path would be cleared for the likes of Badr Hari, or Alistair Overeem to take home the belt if Schilt wasn't involved in the next Grand Prix.  

It's a valid suggestion that there's no truth to Schilt speaking with Dana White about a contract, and it's simply a play for K-1 to show a little love to Schilt.  Schilt would certainly have some interesting match ups in the UFC's Heavyweight division, Pat Barry, Mirko Cro Cop, Shane Carwin...theres numerous fights that would be appealing.  Let's see how it plays out, but I suspect nothing will come of this.

Update:

Dave Walsh of Head Kick Legend gets right down to business, he contacted Semmy's manager Bas Boon and received this comment:

"I have good contacts to Dana White and the UFC, but there have been no negotiations whatsoever since me, Semmy and Alistair met Dana in Ireland." 

The newest rumor now, is that Stefan Struve is going to take some kick boxing lessons, and change his name to "Semi Schilt".  More to come on this ever so intriguing story...

schilt/struve?

I like the feeling of hunting down what I feed my family. If there’s a beast out there capable of hunting down Brock Lesnar, he would do it and make me the trophy on his den wall. But the laws of nature dictate that I’m going to be the one who goes into the wild and comes home with the evening’s bounty. - The #1 ranked HW in the world...

Is FEG in enough financial peril to make this ammusing?

It was his 'fake' PR manager's idea

I really wanted to publish more of Boon’s shit-talk, but opted not to just in case he got second thoughts, but uhh yeah, haha. He wasn’t happy with that dude and alllll of that shit.

The guy runs Sem's website and online stuff...

He decided he wanted to make a name for himself and be important. Failure.

It'd be awesome, though...

I’d love to see Schilt over here. I don’t think he’d fare too well vs. the big boy wrestlers, but I’d love to see him try

poor struve

he’d get so very brutalized. He may win by sub.. but he would get so very very hurt in the process.
