On Saturday I praised K-1 announcers Michael Schiavello and Mike Kogan for their candor in calling the recent Kazuyuki Miyata vs. Kazuhisa Watanabe fight, a fight that wasn’t on par with the caliber of kickboxing that fans have come to expect from K-1.

Now Miyata has responded, and he’s not pleased with being called out.

“K-1 USA’s commentator Mike Kogan insulted me,” Miyata wrote on his blog, as translated by MMA Fighting’s Japan correspondent, Daniel Herbertson. “He knows me but he’s still saying these kinds of things about me?”
