The vast majority of competitors appeared slim and fit, some the trimmest of their careers, as they stepped on the scales on the eve of Battle at Bellagio IV, the K-1 “World Grand Prix 2005 in Las Vegas” Pay-Per-View television mega-card. 

While 2003 K-1 USA champion Carter Williams looked his strongest at 243 pounds, “Battle at Bellagio III” tournament victor, “Mighty Mo” Siligia, was his trimmest at 265 pounds.  Likewise, reigning K-1 Grand Prix king, Remy Bonjasky, who will face Siligia in a Superfight, weighed in at what was close to his career low – 230 pounds.  “I trained really, really hard for this fight.  I want to win,” said the 29 year-old, high-flying Dutchman following the day’s formalities.
