Siala “Mighty Mo” Siliga won three matches in five hours on Saturday to take home the K-1 World Grand Prix 2007 in Hawaii championship.

Hawaii’s own Mike Malone, however, wasn’t as successful.

Malone took on the Korean giant Hong-Man Choi, putting up a pretty good fight until he was dropped twice in the second round. After the second knockdown, the referee called a stop to the match.

In the main event, Moroccan fighter Badr Hari defeated Japan’s Yusuke Fujimoto with a stunning first-round knockout. Hari is the first person to hold the newly-created K-1 Heavyweight Title.
