all styles

i always wondered would anybody be interested in a all styles stand up fight night, lets say use k1 rules knees to the body, leg kicks and no grappling. would anybody be interested. what style would come out on top.

I would say K1 fans would be interested, as all you have described is a K1 event.

You could try getting in direct contact with the various Muay Thai, Kickboxing gyms etc around the country. Also the guys at www.kyokushinireland.com would be a good crowd to contact.

The term K1 is a trademark, you can't call a all styles full contact kickboxing event K1 if it isn't been run by K1. In the same vein, you can't call your local MMA show a UFC or a UFC style fight.

I think there is an interest for well put together promotions showing fight sports (kickboxing/mma) but it would be a tall order pulling off something like this well as a newcomber.

I would expect the people to win these kind of things to be the better Thai Boxers who aren't too high and mighty to compete in a kickboxing show. I'm not sure how many people out there train K1 style rules on a daily basis, global kickboxing?

Like wise I'd imagine Kyokushin guys would be well on for something like this. I'd actually love to see an Irish All-Styles Knock-Down Championships becoming a regular occurrence.
