The Suffering the kickboxing super heavyweight champion since about 2013. 20 stone of muscle and was so big at 16 he was fighting vs full grown men and beating them. Also unbeaten in MMA, won his only fight by TKO in round 1. If you wanna see a real animal watch Badr Hari, Badr Hari is rematching this guy in December I think
@@piotr5261 Tyson was a serious and proper student of boxing. You can find interviews with him conducted at the beginning of his career, where he is holding forth on the boxing styles of fighters who had fought 70 years earlier. He had access (through Cus D'Amato) to a vast library of film of all the greats. He drew much of his style from one of those greats: Jack Dempsey.
I watched his fight against Jamal, the way he withstood Jamal's punches early in the fight was unbelievable, He's the embodiment of the perfect athlete to ever grace earth. I think he can rock every top tier heavyweight UFC fighter's ass easily.
I'm a Rico super fan but kickboxing and MMA are not the same thing. Rico has never trained wrestling/grappling/BJJ so he would not be very successful in the UFC.
@@sullivanbiddle9979 Lol Rico litterally has professional MMA experience, not at all saying he would beat an MMA champ, but of course Rico would have other martial art experience given that he is a pro martial artist
Anybody can actually fight, but anybody who does fight and does not understand that fighting is a Cerebral "game", is definitely not a very good fighter
Like chess for amateurs, you dont try to figure out your opponents next move, you calculate their reach and their timing, once you can read it, now you set him up... you dont guess your opponents move, you choose their next move, throw a right hook to bait him, you know how and when hes going to counter, and have your next move ready..
brosepheus bro i may have interpreted ot wrong as saying racist promotion but IF you follow ufc and seen how Many fights Dan henderson have lost in a row and fought for the belt is crazy. He lost like 4 Times in a town while a fighter has 3-6 win streak isnt fighing the best is crazy to me. Dana white constantly get emotional attachéd to some fighters and forget the actual talent in his roster. He is saying now that Masvidal is too big for conor but its ok for adesanya to fight Jon Jones of they want to?!?! I Dont get it. I can name you like 5 or more situations that he protected fighters not to fight each other because of money and racism not saying he is racist because of him getting too atached to fighters or caring that he wont get as much money in the conpany. Doesnt make sense. Thats why it gets boring sometimes watching a fighter fight a fighter who is waaay below his talent fight eachother
@@1D.JFanMma The UFC is racist? Are you retarded? They promoted the fuck out of the 3 african champions right now. While Jan Blachowitz, Petr Yan, Volkanovski don't even get promos
For anyone looking for his name, click the link in the description to see the podcast, which lists his name! Also a decent listen if you have some free time.

There's many more Dutch champs :) Ramon Dekkers, Rob Kaman, Ernesto Hoost, Peter Aerts, Sem Schilt, Remy Bonjasky, Badr Hari, Rico Verhoeven and more.. Happy flying dude!!
Kickboxing is my fav combat sport and Rico is my favorite kickboxer but he's never trained BJJ?grappling/wrestling so he wouldn't beat everyone in the UFC. It is what it is.
Je kan niet zo veel incasseren in mma als in kickboksen ik denk dat Rico (picograms of niet) toch iets te veel stoten krijgt tijdens een pot om succesvol te zijn in mma. Daarentegen zou ik Rico tegen Stipe wel willen zien
We DENKEN dat we Engels kunnen spreken totdat je echt met iemand een gesprek moet voeren in het Engels. Iemand wiens inheemse taal het Engels is. Ik besefte dit toen ik naar de VK ging. Er is geen tijd tijdens een gesprek om na te denken over woorden en de juiste woorden te zoeken. Dan pas besef je dat je Engels niet zo goed is.
Ironisch genoeg zijn Nederlanders wel de beste "non-native English" sprekers in de wereld volgens studies. Je moet even over die drempel heen van schaamte en dan komt de Engelse flow vanzelf.
Heb je iets tegen Rico ofzo? In je andere comment zeg je ook dat hij vol is van zichzelf. Dat zijn ze allemaal hoor, hoort er gewoon bij denk je niet. En hij is zeker geen saaie vechter.
Just stating facts🤷🏼♂️hij is te vol van zichzelf vergeleken met veel andere vechters die bescheiden zijn dus daar heb je het mis. Meeste van zijn gevechten zijn saai naar mijn mening..hij is geen killer en dat vind ik jammer. Gewoon mijn mening dus je hoeft er niet mee eens te zijn.
@@valeriopuggioni Any sport is mind/skill over matter/strength. Anyone can get strong but your useless if you don't know how to move, react and time what you do
Rico Verhoeven vs Badr Hari FULL FIGHT: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FHkpjE0hC_s.html Rico Verhoeven vs Jamal Ben Saddik FULL FIGHT: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f8gq2Gu0dZk.html
All fights are alot like love. Its strange knowing people who have relationships and marriages that fail....and why? Because fights are like love , its born and nasty but doesnt mean anything because.... its not the point. Its gonna suck taken shots to the face. ALWAYS! when ya love someone ......be ready to walk a mile in their shoes and be ready to walk with them ....a mile in their shoes. Dont be lazy. Work HARD! every foe is nothing more than a friend you didnt have patience to understand. Win or death. Its not and ego thing just "i got nobody to hit me back and bored" fighters, men have this problem. ....any foe can make a man feel acuity to failures...they are your best friends. They give you and take you as rivals and nothing can change that level of respect or hate. This guys a lost one. War....true War isnt where he wants to fight. I RESPECT his opinion. Those brave enough to die for less than his ego and this dumb shit ....are men worth a fuckin damn. Men at war because they must ...not because they play sports. But because they are weak and will lay them selve to rest trying ...to convince their enemies. Which turn to friends . Hahahaaaaa
I think Rico takes too much damage to transition to mma successfully. Having said that, DC said that nobody ever hit him as hard as Rico Verhoeven during a spar... so if Rico lands on any of these mma guys they likely go down as well. It’s more of a lottery
Badr is a joke typical maroc style.. se you can't win just give up or do something to het disqualified. . Gokhan Saki Tyrone Spong have fight there fights out with 1 arm! And why nobody have mention the 1 loss and 1 lucky win of badr against that unknown little Russian men 😂 badr is really entertaining to see and still have ko power but his time is done!
@@badrhari8846 live attending at Amsterdam arena, Showtime Badr-Schilt 2009-ish. Whooah after Schilt didn't lose for 3 years , it was all over in less than 2 minutes. Rico trying to be humble but desperately searching for acknowledgement

@Jacob Kimble thank you. intelligence and intellectual capacity aren't solely measured in acquired knowledge. seems all the youngins believe reading about einstein, makes you einstein. I think it's generational man, many aspects of the old school concept of intellect would be considered 'statistically inefficient' by the new school, yet somehow they still apply in reality. kids be living INSIDE the internet, not realizing there is no overlap in reality vs what you read
@@aroveranalysis9978 was that an insult or statement??? Lol its so funny to see people who cant express themselves so they deflect on anything connected to you.. poor boi, you need a hug? Or a girlfriend to release your stress and misery?lol
That's not what he means.. He isint saying fighting is for Albert Einstein.. you have to think during the fight and be able to be smart and strategic with all the adrenaline running thru your body.. unless you have fought alot and i dont mean just swinging wild you would know what he means.
Harp, looks like you cant do basic thinking to comprehend what he meant... thinking and decisions is completely, COMPLETELY 2 different things.... whos to say he didnt think about the future consequences of fighting?? How do you know he didnt think about his career and decided hes willing to accept or risk the outcome to follow his dreams?? Also Thinking doesnt mean "smart" or intelligence"... even a low uneducated retard can "Think"... doesnt mean hes thinking correct..... its sad to see how dumb people are, it really is.
Harpreet06 what are you trying to achieve with this comment. Show how educated you are and sophisticated by talking down about something people like to do. If you do not like fighting don’t watch it and especially don’t talk about it. I guess you as a thinking man didn’t think about that one.
Think all you want we all need a job in this world and most jobs cause stress as we know. People believe in the bible without any evidence, people are different deal with it.
Thinking and being intellectual is 2 completely different things. A genuis, a smart person, an intellectual, a retard, a mentally crazy person.. they all can think!!.. stop confusing thinking with intelligence, my neighbor with Down Syndrome THINKS santa is real!....
