K-1 Dynamite USA an even bigger mess

MMAWeekly reported yesterday that Fight Entertainment Group the parent company of K-1 needed to supply the California State Athletic Commission with some financial information in order to obtain a license to promote their portion of the Dynamite USA show June 2. Pro Elite, owners of EXC have already gotten their license. FEG sent information yesterday but it was not the correct information.

Well, today comes news that Brock Lesnar's scheduled opponent Hong-Man Choi has been denied a license to fight on medical grounds. There's still a chance he could pass another physical before the show but this is just another problem for a show that has had more than its fair share. Everything from being stupid enough to run the L.A. Coliseum to having trouble getting a license for the show oh, and not announcing the Showtime hype specials until hours before the first was supposed to air...almost forgot about that. Add to that, Gina Corano having to pull out due to injury and this is making TNA look like a company full of rocket scientists and brain sergens by comparison.
