For me Alexey is the best tactician ever to fight in K1. A true legend that left behind some of the most spectacular and unexpected KO's. It's true he could have possibly achieved more if not his problems, but who is perfect? All I wanna say is: thank you Red Scorpion, you were a joy to watch! Your fans will never forget you...
He is still fighting, just announced last week he is going to fight Badr Hari for a third time! In Oct. 2013 At Legend in Moscow! Cant wait! Go Ignashov!!!
I used to defend Badr non stop against "haters"... that's until the day I saw this vid. When he had the guts to say 'Yea Iggy is just looking for one more paycheck" in this vid (pardon the transaltion). I lost all respect for Badr. U dont diss a man who held u up when ur winded. Guess only a real fighter understands this, not a Mayweather wannabe celeb.
Pei Cai Pan Badr wil always be a little child never getting over his anger. To say something like this to a guy that has overcome something like this i have also no respect. Badr might be gifted but he is stupid enough to waste it entirely
I remember in the early days when k1 was ruled by my countrymen the dutch... the only foreign fighter they would shit themself for was the red scorpion! never will forget the look on fighters faces when those eerie violins started playing! total psych warfare!
from 3:35 to the end is almost to much too take.......... the sad,depressing look on ignashovs face and de niros voice in the background.................. AMAZING HIGHLIGHT..... "You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it."
I know what you mean. I was a kid when I saw him fight. My favorites were Aerts, CroCop, but the Red Scorpion I always respected. He was this guy with a different style that could knock out guys with beautiful knees. Even his entrance song was class. It was sad to see him go out like that.
yeah....... he could have been the greatest ever............ it is so depressing to see what he has become........ i heard that he is taking on hesdey gerges ........... hope he knocks out gerges.............
one of the best ever, his cocky style to fight made you think doesnt he take it seriuos, but when watching him longer you could see how intelligent he was, his strokes had damn power and he was always a very fair guy, i just can watch up to him, great great russian red scorpion
Best fighter ever in my eyes (mind you I am Dutch!) who never won the K1. I know from fighters who were in the K1 with him he drunk a bottle of wodka before entering the ring.... Alexey wasted his career, and he never was KO'd
Fantastic Vid,mate !!! Just perfect...Is this the voice of Ralph Phines ? And about Iggy,the best fighter for me in K-1,EVER ! Алексей,Българските фенове на К-1 те обичат !!!
i met alex in auckland i 2009/10 doing community work because hed been caught drink driving, anyway he is such a humble guy and i want to know if anyone knows where he is?
Our opponents are not our enemies, the alcohol and drugs are. This is a very touching movie about a lonely human, who lost in a single battles, but the war is not over yet. respect Alex
Most impressive fight I saw was against Cyril Abidi. Abidis corner was forced to throw the towel due to Alexeys low kicks. Cyril could almost stand and if the fight would have lasted, that leg would have been gone for sure. Low kicks like a scorpion sting, undefendable. Great fighter, Alexey had so much style, almost grace in the ring!
he is or was the real ivan drago !!!!! he was so fast in defense and tactik and powerfull that was not from this earth!!!! for me the best fighter ever!!!!
I love the kick boxer Alexey Ignashov. He was shining every time he fought in the ring. But once when he continued fighting and something wrong happened, he lost many things, the fame, the chance and expectations from fans. Similarly, K-1 is on the decline nowadays. While it may be true, I believe that he's one of the best kick boxer!
Nice music, great technician..still one of the best...it takes a lot to always fight...maybe he got tired every now and then..had some issues maybe left or right...but still a great fighter..
this is very well done. makes me very sad. I too researched alexey's past and find it a complete sham that he isn't fighting up to his potential and his name will never be as respected as it should
My All time favourite K1 Champion , Win or lose Alexy Ignashov is the Best of all times ! Charismatic , enigmatic , inspirational ! I dream of meeting you in real life one day !
Song title?? No, its what you make it, if you go around thinking that its a b!tch it will be a b!tch. Its rather "life is a bitch" that is taken from one of like Tupacs old albums :) You just thought that was a cool saying and wanted some likes, but its really not, you must be like 17-19 years old.
This guy is amazing but kickboxing didnt really fill that hole in his soul although he could have been the greatest in this sport had so much potential even more than Badr Hari. He just never took K-1 seriously like he used to and he is done now im his fan but i know he will never come back again. Ever.
I hate this video, because after this, nothing is worth watching and i have to get off the internet. Damn ignashov, i have cried for you, scorpion. When you fall, you just get the fuck up. Reach out you will see you have thousands of fans who want to see you doing well in life. Best wishes
How many people can you think of who could carry the name? Alexey Ignashov, for a time, he was the real life -not a movie- , The Red FUCKIN Scorpion. Good tribute, absolute respect to a world class martial ARTIST
soo much talent in one man!!! his attitude and laziness brought him down. He could indeed rely on his big talant but as time go by youre getting out of your prime. from 2003 on he didnt care anymore. Alexey: We love you, you brought so much inspiration to me and alot of fans from te clobe! youre great! Osu
For me Alexey is the best tactician ever to fight in K1. A true legend that left behind some of the most spectacular and unexpected KO's. It's true he could have possibly achieved more if not his problems, but who is perfect?
All I wanna say is: thank you Red Scorpion, you were a joy to watch! Your fans will never forget you...
alex barbu I love his style.
we never forget you my friend and gladiator!!!! cheers
Thank you!!! His class was on a diferent level.
i always had so much respect and love for alexey. amazing video,brought tear to my eye:(
they need to make a movie like raging bull for ignashov
He is still fighting, just announced last week he is going to fight Badr Hari for a third time! In Oct. 2013 At Legend in Moscow! Cant wait! Go Ignashov!!!
Will whats the story on this dude? I'm curious. Also great video
regardless of his accomplishments, the Red Scorpion has always been a hero of mine.

SCORPION IS NOT DRUNK PEOPLE TYPE
the k1 whitout this guy is like a sky whitout a stars. there is no like you, alex, we miss you ;(
This brings tears to my eyes, seriously.
It's a story of a wasted talent.
Brando's monologue fits perfectly.
@Bogdan Hmelnickiy. ...... th-cam.com/video/Z9mMBj-yFuE/w-d-xo.html
still my number 1 K1 fighter. movements, style, nonchalant, bursting from talent. great to watch
After all this time, still one my favorite TH-cam videos.
I remember in the early days when k1 was ruled by my countrymen the dutch... the only foreign fighter they would shit themself for was the red scorpion! never will forget the look on fighters faces when those eerie violins started playing! total psych warfare!
PeterM Andy Hug, Le Banner, and Bernardo were also a big threat to the Dutch. Cro Cop beat Hoost a couple of times.
his worst enemy the alcohol
and laziness
I once asked Peter Graham who is the best fighter he encountered. His answer was alexy is a very technical fighter.
ALL time favourite no matter what happened with him or who he lost to.

Alex Ignashov was arguably the most gifted K-1 fighter ever. Pity he drank himself to ruin.

One of the most talented fighters I've seen!
Search Raging Bull Speech on youtube. I can't post the URL in this comment section!?!
Sorry for the question: What says Hari? I dont understand his speech clearly.
nice vid im going to go watch raging bull for the 100th time now
Can anyone tell me what Badr Hari said? plz i need to know this !
Imagine alexey ignashov vs ernesto hoost in around 2002-2004.
The best in kickboxing of all time
Походу уже весь мир знает что он бухарь
Why do they say he's weight 109 lbs 49 kilograms??
@firdaus125 nvm, got the answer already
too bad... you will be sorely missed!
I hate this video, because after this, nothing is worth watching and i have to get off the internet. Damn ignashov, i have cried for you, scorpion. When you fall, you just get the fuck up. Reach out you will see you have thousands of fans who want to see you doing well in life. Best wishes
Warrior and great technician. Was never knocked out. Could've been one of the greats if it wasn't for his alcohol problems..
I could have been a contender WILL
Dhat dude was very inteligent fighter
How many people can you think of who could carry the name? Alexey Ignashov, for a time, he was the real life -not a movie- , The Red FUCKIN Scorpion. Good tribute, absolute respect to a world class martial ARTIST
@DotaHelm He have 46 wins by 39 knock outs..Watch his 3 last fights with Hesdy . Sergey Lascenko and Erhan deniz..He DESTROY them! :-s
soo much talent in one man!!! his attitude and laziness brought him down. He could indeed rely on his big talant but as time go by youre getting out of your prime. from 2003 on he didnt care anymore. Alexey: We love you, you brought so much inspiration to me and alot of fans from te clobe! youre great! Osu
what movie are the quotes from?
He was The Best!
Whats about Ignashovs MMA carrier? Did he ever compete in MMa style?
StillW1ll, can u give me a link to the interview? He is talking in the video about charlie etc, where can I find it?
Maybe, Ignashov is one of my greatest inspirations in thai boxing but these days guys are much bigger.
@nils4545 all the eastern europeans except arlovski are pretty hard to knock out they all got iron jaws
Hey still if you see this i FORCE YOU xD :D :* Make a highlight for Daniel Ghita..The man is awesome!
@00JakeR00 Raging Bull
Hurts to see this man's tory like thi to me he's the champ, one in a million just phenomenal!
So dumb " life is what you make it " like a song title ... step on the ground boy !
Masterpiece!
He changed the k1 rules with his Thai clinch.But life is a bitch...Respect anyway
wonderfull video....shows u what a person can be and how sometimes life is against u
Not to mention he K.O -ed Sammy Schilt .Nough said.
@HeFilmsTheClouds You can see Badr was somehow kind of sad when he realized that.
Brasil
Respect...
L1fe is a bitch !
what happened to ignashov when he was injured ?
what a kind of injury ?
he was great, in my opinion every k1 fighter fear from him in his prime..even hari
Mi heroe... Espero poder ver pronto otra pelea de el y verlo de nuevo con su buen nivel...
very nice ! respect for ignashov was a real fighter
@DotaHelm Oh btw right now is the Alistair Overeem sparing partner :)
Really great work Will!
Alexej was one of the greatest fighters...
Wish you had a Dutch team arround you, you where UNbeatible!!!
