when Badr is on the ground screaming f*** Rico says to him calm down man, your health is more important. (yeah its in Dutch but Badr can understand him)
@@sugs1191 yep, hurts me to say but it is. Even though Badr might tell himself he was injured, we all know he wasnt REALLY injured. I remember uriah faber in mma die 5 ronden lang met 2 gebroken handen vocht, gebruikte alleen maar trappen en ellebogen omdat hij eind eerste ronde zijn handen brak. En dan ga je mij vertellen dat door een kleine schouderblessure Badr ineens niet meer kan vechten?
@@ind1951ian stimmt, Hari ist der typische Rotzlöffel. Er mag ja ein guter Kämpfer sein, ein großer Kämpfer zeichnet sich jedoch durch Respekt aus. Das unterscheidet großartige Kämpfer wie Verhoeven von tumben Schlägern wie Hari.
You watching kickboxing in case you need reminding. You don’t go to a casino looking for priests . You watching combat sports . Not wwe As for dumb I’m guessing he is smarter wealthier stronger than you .
He did not beat anybody here sorry, it was a not great tactical fight from Rico. He knows that he lost. All sportsman know it, maybe you never bean a sports pro but this kind of wins do not feel as a win. Badr is done now and has his flaws but he won that fight outside the rules;). Rico is a great champion tho.
Rico got the respect from Badr Hari fans after this. The way he showed compassion and trying to ease the pain to Badr is not only respectable, but also promotes brothership between different cultures and nationalities. People from Morocco will always keep that gesture in mind when thinking about Rico. And also people like me, total outsiders but lovers to the sport; i love kickboxing.
Well first of all he didn't win by default. If your opponent cannot continue due to an injury, that's scored as a TKO. And he's unhappy about winning a fight he knows he was losing. At least that's what's what I think. In which case that still speaks highly of him if ask me.
What a heartbreaking moment for Hari. He was the old warhorse ready to finish the top top dog. He doesn’t get that chance back as he is towards the end of his career. What a great fight that ended up in such anti climax fashion.
You do know they're both in their prime, right? They're also only five years apart in age. You're not a big K1 guy I'm guessing. Get more into it. Best contact sport & fighting promotion period with WBC as a close second.
@@jaystockman6403 Badr keeps getting injured at every fight since his first match against Rico. Hesdy Gerges said he will never go back to his prime and he was right... I don't know exactly what Badr is doing outside kickboxing but we all know he has a family to take care of. He has five children who have never seen him winning on TV.
@@BlackBeardedDuck Badr he's not old and accidents happens look at Mike Tyson is 52 years old and he still fought and won so you never know the most important is badr has a lot more winning than lost !
I appreciate the sportsmanship in wanting to continue the fight. It's a shit thing to happen to someone and I hope Badr recovers so they can continue. But to be frank - being able to last in a fight, is part of the fight. Badr is a hurricane. A hurricane that unfortunately damages himself too much to get through this match. If he tempered it, and he would have managed to wear Rico down, then that would be a tactical victory.
Badr will say to himself: "Why, why, why this stupid kick????" My coach always says stick to the basics, don't do any flashy high risk moves. This is proof!
Babyseal lol he wasn’t even throwing real kicks he only swing in do 0 damage he landen like 3 good strikes and that’s not good enough badr hit him 50 times with his hands en he had to throw only 1 kick to knock the fake champ down
@@jean-paulmorin913 the best worst word to express your anger about something especially like getting injured while you were winning but he could’ve been respectful and use a different word
"I got surprised " I went down, i got back up" ! " I was in this fight"! "Its not over until its Over"! _Rico what a warrior ! His energy was kind of like " We Are Sparta"! Love it
@Son Of Rabat I was comparing Rico's energy with the movie 300 ,listening to Rico explain his victory the movie came to mind . and has nothing to do with me believing if sparta's historical narrative is accurate , although a person reading my comment wouldn't know I was only referring to a movie,.
I just want to share a memory with you guys....... When I lived at the house I grew up in me and my brother used to come home from work on a Monday night and watch the K1 Grand Prix on Eurosport...... Good times and watching this brings those memories back.......Remy Bonjaski was my favourite fighter.
Rico Verhoeven. The world champion, not only in kickboxing but also in sportsmanship. His words: “Take it easy man, take it easy. Health is more important right now”
20:30 nasty beautiful uppercut Very impressive and dominant round by Rico. Also the replay at 22:20, jab jab jab hard right jab jab hard right hard low kick. shows the strengths of Verhoeven, master in setting up and continuing his attacks focusing on body and head, gives you massive points for the rounds to. Crazy knockdowns by badr to, I’ll never forget thus fight although it was just 2 rounds. I’ll never forget those 2 rounds
That was a really cool match! When Badr went down Rico kept saying "Rustig jonge, gezondheid is belangrijker!". Which could be translated as "Easy bro, your health is more important". Shout out to both of them!
@@GigabyteWins joints did you saw were they put the bandage not joint maybe a fracture like split fracture something not that serious but it hurts and he can’t fight and stand on his own
Several thoughts 1. Hari would have won the fight if he did not get injured. Those knockout punches that Hari threw but barely missed Rico. 2. Hari the best kickboxer of all time was past his prime here. 3. I did not see Hari as being 1 inch taller than Rico, but that 4" reach advantage, at 81" is significant. Especially when you have the excellent form, speed and intensity as Hari does. Just image fighting against Semmy Schilt who had an 88" reach.
Badar esti un erou esti cel mai tare de cate ori ma uit la meciu asta ami vine sa plang odata cu tine meas dori sa mai vad un meci si sal vad pe acest rico la podea distrus ,, ori cum meciul a fost al tau nu a meritat centura respect maxim!
@@darkman8939 yeah im not contesting that.. but when your time is over your time is over.. i don't wanna see no walkin stick grey basterd fight because he " used to be good" his time has passed..
@@darkman8939 im not sure if u know what happened before the fight... his then long time girlfriend and himself ( Rico) had a fight in the locker room and she dumped him litterally minutes before the fight.. u can see in his eyes 5 sec before the fight started he wasn;t all there.. his mind wasnt in it .. he also fought in a way he never did before.. quite reckless vs the usually technical style .. yet still kicked badr's legs completely from under him at the end of round 1.. but yeah we can debate about who was better.. my vision was that Badr had him in striking.. especially in those close face to face moment strike exchanges badr had him.. In terms of durability.. the longer this fight would have lasted, the more rico would have had the edge. in terms of kicks.. rico 100% leg stability.. same. I think a Badr in his prime VS rico.. badr 100% he's just not that fighter anymore.. he's agressive and has the strength, but after a certain age, coupled with the amount of hits a body takes, your durability goes to shit and it's time to stop before you reaslly get hurt. same shit went down for the legendary chuck lidell.
Honestly I never knew of these fighters or this fight till now. I was hiding myself way from the world for a while, but from what I've seen from Rico Well respect for this man, that is a type of a man that you won't find easy anywhere
But he didn't really want to fight Rico though, he just quit that fight, right? I mean ... you can brag about winning and pretty much say a lot of dumb shit before the fight, you can say a lot of lies after the fight, but the actual fight proved Badr didn't really want to fight Rico. I m guessing you re misquoting Badr ... what he really said was : "F*ck, I want to fight global warming"
I like badr because first he is Moroccan and specially he is proud of his nationality he never forgot Morocco even if he is from Hollend olso i really respect him for this point 👏👏👏👏
Don't how can be ask the experts watch all videos for badr how they play and watch Rico you will see different Rico have only legs and they scared for morrocain player Jamal Ben Ben sadik with one shout hi finish with him watching that play only with feet badr here is old look the professional for box what they said for badr
Man overeem isn't even half of what he used to be. It won't even be competitive if they dont allow him to use some peds. He'll get destroyed against rico or Badr or any top level kickboxer.
@@axio2988 lmao, clearly you dont watch ufc bud! He was running away and trying to shoot for double leg against basic strikers in ufc for the past few years. His chin isn't sturdy anymore and he is extremely sloppy now. He got knocked out by Volkov in his last fight. Rico will pressure him, even might eat some shots but Overeem will curl up on the floor by the end of second round. It won't last more than 2 rounds.
@@SA-fc6oq There is no such thing as Palestine, it is a Roman invention. Israel belongs to the Jews and it also appears in your Koran. Get out of your imagination.
@@joepesci8930 you are most welcome. But seriously most people who watch glory havent watched k1 back in the days.. People cheer for Rico just because he is the "good guy" and they hate on Badr because his past and also because he is moroccan. I respect both of them.
Rico is one of Most Respectable Fighter I ever Seen. He is Humble And Very caring. Whenever he win he Salute his Contender and even the Contender Staff. He is a True Sportsmanship. In my opinion he should win sportsmanship of the Year. He is truly Respectable and That is Why he is loved by all the Nation All over the world. True King of the Kickboxing. Good luck to both Warrior Rico and Hari.
@@morrocan5308 You didn't said that when Badr beat the 38 years old Peter Aerts, you guys were all over him being the best and all the shiet. Now that he's at the other side of the coin, you guys can't stop with the execuses. Accept it, Rico won, Badr lost. Don't cry like a girl all the time...
I'm sorry, but Badr's thug attitude makes him a terrible ambassador for the sport. Great athlete? Yes. Great sportsman? Absoluhuuuutely not. Remember this guy has been disqualified from 2 major tournament finals (1 of which the K1 itself) because of an illegal strike AFTER a knockdown. This guy should've never been allowed to fight professionally again. He ruptured Bonjasky's eye socket and basically ended Bonjasky's career by jumping onto his head while Bonjasky was down. Badr only puts the sport in a bad light.
@HowtoSomething we are human man stop thinking like that what this meaning I am hearing this for first time (anti-European) I think you have a fake enemy in Your mind This is a kickboxing game, and anyone has the right to encourage his champion if moroccan man want badr hari win its ok what problime with that This does not mean anti-European.
This whole ambience is just AMAZING! The looks, the sound, what a thrill! The definition of electrifying. Can't believe it's a soccer stadium. How tf?! And over 30.000 people, that's a whole other level than the UFC.
Each time I watch this match I am electrified, I was watching it while on a Business trip in India Kolkata in my Hotel room. Imagine time difference, I was working from 17PM till 4 AM in the morning, I was looking forward to this match so hard that I didn't sleep but had to watch it :D Amazing, amazing match.
that was pretty intense... good to see at the end some fighters can collect themselves and realize the opponent is just another fighter who wants to be the best, not the enemy.
@Leen Why are you talking about badr? "Legal issues Aside from the sport, he has been arrested multiple times since 2006 on various assault charges.[83] Hari has been the subject of a number of police investigations for charges of assault and has gained a reputation for violent behavior.[84] A psychologist who spoke to Hari in relation to one of his trials concluded that his success as an athlete and celebrity status, combined with a lack of personal guidance, has resulted in narcissistic personality traits.[85] About his violent eruptions, Hari has said: "I am able to explode at any moment. [...] When my brakes are off, it's just one big clump of explosion, chaos and noise, and I become blind to it all. [...] A storm, a hurricane, a disaster. [...] There just is a certain aggression inside of me, of which I don't know what to do with and neither where it comes from."[86] At his conviction on 21 February 2014, the district attorney described Hari as an individual who is very short-tempered, indulges in vulgar power display, and demonstrates aggressive and intimidating behavior which is characterized by a high "do-you-even-know-who-I-am caliber".[85] Late October 2012, an indictment was handed to Hari in his holding cell, which contained nine criminal charges against Hari: eight crimes of violence and one moving violation.[87] The moving violation relates to an incident in March 2010, where a pedestrian sustained injuries. The eight crimes of violence were: attempted manslaughter of Koen Everink (who was later murdered in 2016, however without link to Badr Hari),[88][89] two assaults in night club Club Air, the assault of the brother of an ex-partner in bar Cooldown, an assault in club Jimmy Woo, an assault of two people including a woman in July 2011, and the assault of a doorman in 2010.[87] An investigation is on going. If convicted he could face up to four years in prison.[84][90] 20 February 2010 Club Blinq. The bouncer of Club Blinq is assaulted by several perpetrators one of which is said to be Hari.[84][91] 6 March 2010 Albert Cuyp Market. Hari drives his car into the Albert Cuyp Street, which was closed to vehicle traffic, and has an accident with a pedestrian severely injuring her leg.[84] 1-29 July 2011 Spuistraat. Hari is accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend Rosa in her apartment in Spuistraat and the destruction of her property.[84][92] 17 July 2011 Club Air. Jeroen van de Berg, the owner of the Club Air and an Italian guest are assaulted. Jeroen suffers serious damage to his teeth due to a kick to the head.[84][93] 2 December 2011 Cooldown Cafe. Hari is caught on camera in "The Cooldown Cafe" assaulting Olivier, the stepbrother of his ex-girlfriend.[84] 8 July 2012 Sensation White, Dutch millionaire entrepreneur Koen Everink is severely assaulted at a dance event in the Amsterdam Arena. Everink suffered a broken nose and eye socket and a broken ankle, which required several surgical procedures.[94] The public prosecutor stated that numerous witnesses had pointed the finger at Hari.[95] On 25 July 2012, Taken Into Custody. Hari turned himself in to the police in Amsterdam. He was taken into custody as a suspect for six cases; later his detainment was prolonged for 90 days.[96] In July 2012 Hari handed himself into police as he feared "being arrested by a SWAT team".[97] Having come forth to deny his involvement in an alleged assault on businessman Koen Everink, who claimed Hari was responsible for inflicting his face and leg injuries including a broken ankle,[97] further allegations of assault were made by an Amsterdam nightclub owner.[39] The latter alleged that he had also been attacked by Hari, saying that he 'suffered a broken jaw and lost teeth after being kicked in the head' during an altercation at his nightclub and that in light of Everink's seeking to press charges, he would also seek to press charges.[39] As is procedure in the Netherlands for crimes that carry a statutory minimum four-year prison sentence or more, Hari was detained in prison whilst awaiting trial. On 9 November 2012 a court in Amsterdam decided to allow Hari to return home until his trial on the condition that he not visit any 'horeca' establishments (hotels, restaurants and café establishments), or contact witnesses, with the exception of his girlfriend Estelle Cruijff.[98] The day following his release he was spotted violating this condition by eating out at a deli with his girlfriend Estelle Cruijff. He also made contact with two witnesses of the incident.[99] As a result, three days after being released Hari was arrested again by police in Amsterdam and was sentenced to be detained once more, this time for three months, with his eventual release coming in January 2013.[98][99] On 21 January 2013 a court in Amsterdam determined that Hari should again be released from his pre-trial detention, this time with the condition that he could not visit catering establishments between the hours of 8:00 PM and 8:00 AM.[100] By this point the main witnesses in the case had been heard; consequently the court deemed it unnecessary to further detain Hari.[100] Following Hari's release he resumed training with the intention of returning to the ring.[101] His trial was reportedly set to take place in March 2013;[102] he faced nine charges including aggravated assault and attempted manslaughter.[39][99] On 21 February 2014 the district court in Amsterdam sentenced him to prison for 1½ years.[103] His legal team filed an immediate appeal, as did the prosecution.[104] However, the Court of Appeal found him guilty of aggravated assault, noting in particular that each of his assaults was preceded by a relatively mild quarrel and that to his victims his violent behaviour came as a complete surprise, leaving them no chance to defend themselves. He was sentenced to two years in prison, of which ten months suspended. Since he had already spent eight months in pre-arrest, he still had to serve half a year in prison. In addition, he has to pay his victims compensation of €45,000 in total.[105] This judgement was upheld by the Supreme Court of the Netherlands in 2017.[106] Hari is friends with the President of Chechnya (Russia), Ramzan Kadyrov.[107] Hari was reportedly arrested in Dubai following his tournament win at Global FC 3 on 29 May 2014, and he was detained and questioned by police over an alleged incident from late 2011/early 2012 before being released, according to his lawyer.[108] Hari himself refuted the reports.[109]"
Big Respect to both fighters and the trainers!!! this was made with love for the future history of Kickboxing!!! Emotional and with respect. It happened. Good night.
Unbelievable match, I felt so bad for Badr, if he would have chose to throw hands and not that risky spin kick, I think Badr would've at least won the round, maybe even got the W. Still an unbelievable production!!!
Just found a new entertainment source, by accident, such a great feeling. I wish the MC mic was cut so we could here what Badr’s coach was saying to get him fired up.
@@BlackWolf-vs6uo No it is Dutch. Badr coach is Dutch only and Badr is born and raised in Holland, lives most of his lives there and is used to communicate and talk in Dutch. The whole Rico team is Dutch too. The event was in Holland, kickboxing is from the beginning a Dutch dominated sport... Basically everything about this is Dutch.
@james83925 what are you talking about clown!?... Verhoeven is nothing... Just a roided big bum , with no technic! Hari falled on his butt , and hurt his hip , cause of stretching muscles , and probably , not warming it up before .
Heb nooit naar zulke no brainer sporten gekeken. Maar na Rico Verhoeven kijk ik dus graag. En vooral als hij die grossmaul neer mept. En respect voor beide kickboxers. Top gedaan.
