      It should make everyone rethink when they talk smack about a professional fighter, no one knows what's going on in these people's lives. And that same can be said for anyone not just Fighters. That's why people say a little kindness goes a long way

    *Stefan "Blitz" Leko* (wins over Peter Arts [twice], Badr Hari, Remy Bonasjy, Francisco Filho, Ray Sefo, Mike Bernardo, Alexey Ignashov [twice]...) also failed pretty badly in MMA, losing his 3 fights in 2004/2005.
    His second loss was to the _"K1 Killa"_ Minowaman, via heel hook in 27 seconds.

    • @randallflagg3700
      @randallflagg3700 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      However it must be stated that Leko didn't exactly get easy match-ups against fellow strikers... he was immediately fed to Judo Olympic Silver Medalist Naoya Ogawa, then to submission grappler specialist Minowaman, and then to elite Judoka "King Kaz" Nakamura (who was Yoshida's top Judo student).
      It's stuff like this that makes Mirko Cro Cop's success in MMA look so impressive, he was one of the rare K1 guys to make a smooth transition to MMA
      (thanks to his impressive sprawl and having invited Fabricio Werbum to come live in Croatia when he made his move to PRIDE), while almost all the others struggled badly and were submitted/had guys lay on top on them for the full fight, time and time again, by grapplers that Mirko would easily dispatch.
      Sure he struggled badly in the UFC, but at that point his body had crazy mileage, having been an amateur boxer, an elite kickboxer and then an elite MMArtist since he was so young, and had had many injuries... in retrospect it's not that surprising that his body started to shut down.
      Still a shame that we didn't get that fight against Randy Couture in the UFC, that would have happened had Mirko beaten Gonzaga instead of getting Cro Cop'd himself.
      What a shock it was a the time, still one of my biggest heartbreaks in MMA.

    I feel Rico Verhoven would do well in mma because he is so down to earth. He is so smart and fights that way that I think he'd do it the right way like Izzy. If Rico did especially with the lack of Heavyweight wrestlers these days in the UFC. He could do really well.

    9:00 Overeem and Hari were one and one in kickboxing before Overeem won the trilogy. Overeem was also K-1 Heavyweight Champion.( 2010 ) a little convenient to leave that part out huh ?

    • @randallflagg3700
      @randallflagg3700 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You Hari fanboys are so salty... at that point Overeem's last kickboxing bout was *12 years* ago (when he won the 2010 K1WGP), and he had had *22 MMA fights* in the meantime.
      A little convenient for you to leave that out huh?
      It was a short video in which they left a bunch of small details out for every fighter, Badr wasn't targeted in particular.
      And yes they were 1-1, but Ubereem had won via devastating first round KO when he was a 2-2 kickboxing nobody with half his fights having taken place ages ago (1999, 2001, 2004...).
      Huge upset.
      Badr had talked so much shit about Allistair before their fight, and got brutally KTFO in 2 minutes, karma at its finest.
      Hari's later win over him was nice, but less emblematic.
      Overeem being called Hari's MMA demon when he came back to kickboxing to beat him in their trilogy fight 13 years after their last encounter (and 12 years without a single kickboxing bout) is accurate.
