Min Soo Kim, who is 2-5 and coincidentally holds a win over former WWE and WCW star Sean O'Haire, will be replacing Hong-Man Choi in his match with Brock Lesnar on June 2nd at the LA Memorial Coliseum. Choi could not get medical clearance to compete. Kim is Korean, which K-1 hopes will help draw Southern California Koreans to the show, and should be a fairly easy opponent for Lesnar, though anything can happen in a fight (particularly this year).
The Fight Network is reporting that Ray Sefo vs. Marvin Eastman is off the show.
Numerous sources are also stating that the chances of Kazushi Sakuraba being medically cleared are very slim. {plug}
