agree

I also love Ramon Dekkers. R.I.P.

he is, he also acts in the movie black lotus

He did. And it is the worst movie ever haha

Doen ze dat dan. Daar heb ik nooit wat van gemerkt . In de meeste orientaalse stporten, waarin er net europeanen meedoen. staat al snel een euroeaan aan de top. Dbbre

I think everyone would like to see a fight between Roman Kryklia and Rico Verhoeven. Roman is a very good fighter, I think this is the only good opponent at the moment to test Rico if he is worthy to be king. Make this fight in Saudi Arabia Sheiks, so many people want it.

…en meest bekendste onder Nederlanders die niet eens iets afweten van kick-boxing. I do follow kick boxing myself even had some kick-boxing instructions myself because it’s become so regular in every fitness centre in the Netherlands as part of the fitness programs. I come from the home town of Alister Overeem who I have seen training with my old fitness trainer once when he was coming back from a suspension after his Vegas adventure (he wasn’t a regular member) and was amazed to witness the forces of his kicks. It got me interested in this amazing sport!

@@lisnykyizhak absolutely agree

Mooi verhaal! Lekker kort…. Doen we helemaal niks mee.

Also, his legs are usually twice as big as his opponents.

Peace !

And back to you. Ur the living proof that there isn't just rivalty between Holland and Motoco. I even dare to admit that Dutch style kickboxing has such high level because of the skulls, determination and fighting spirit of the Dutch/Mocro fighters.

Good and correct comment. Great fight IQ. It does, however take a very talented fighter to effectly to kick that leg. And doing it wrong, brings you in a vulnarabe position.

complete not

@@ricowhoo1313 Please enlighten us how he is now 10 years the champion?

😆😂😅😅😆🤣🤣🤣🤣

"best ever" 🤣 Aerts, Hoost and Hari in his prime.....

That's a "lady", not a fighter.

1994 till 2002

2009

64-94

1994-2010

I'm progressive and you can not deny that we all learn and become better .

I think Semi deserves that title.

Rico is way more technical than Semmy though.

His matches are boring to watch. But Glory has no competititon for him. He should go to another bond to make himself stronger.

Und dazu noch gläubig

MMA? Idiot.

Badr could have been so much more if he just had so godd..me selfdiscipine

Street DAWAH for Netherlands...make Netherlands Islamic again!! InShaAllah

@@Pitbullcritics BADR ? He's above all a Muslim and not a yew .That's what his Koran and Moroccans tell him . Muslims keep telling him that all those non ISLAM people in the world are Yews and dangerous . They do not tell him America first ,but ISLAM fist . And that behaviour from both is against my religion as a catholic .

@@daggerin4life726 no thank you, the Netherlands is not, has never been and will never be an Islamic country! Keep dreaming!

Tuurlijk jongen.. droom lekker verder..

It will never arrived

Muy thai is a whole different sport.. elbows and headers included. Kick boxing is a more limited fighting style.

But they do it for the passion of the sport it self.

@@marcusfranconium3392 Really? Do you think that devoting yourself in a life of debilitating physical suffering and long term injuries should not be paid for?

@@C_R_O_M________ Here is a question do you start a physical challenging sport for the money or for the challenge .

@@marcusfranconium3392 not the challenge but because you love the sport. To be able to stick with it though, requires a sustainable wage. Ask me how I know.

Kickboxing YES MY FAVORITE BUT I SAW ROADTANG VS D.JOHNSON ,ROADTANG WAS CRASHING IN FIRST ROUND BETTER THAN D.J IN OTHER ROUND WAS MMA RULES DJ.CHOKED HIM...WHT.F SOO MMA IS MORE HARDER THAN KICK BOXING NOT PRETTIEST SPORT BUT CRO-COP MY CITIZEN MADE SAME MISTAKE....MIOČIĆ IS THE BEST HE BEAT EVERYBODY JUNIOR,NGANO,HE DIDN'T CHOOSE CALCULATING AND 3TIMES DEFENDET BELT ONE AND ONLY .THAT IS WHY THE GREATEST OFF ALL AT THE MOMENT!

They always do.

I agree there was a lot more talent these days. Still. He defended the title for 9 years and the fight with Semmy was when he was a lot younger and less experienced. It would not be the same fight now. He beat Ben Saddik Twice by knockout. I think you do underestimate him Although I agree as you can read in my comment earlier, that the K1 Days were different times. But, except for Real knock out power, he has a great tactical skillset and great stamnia and endurance as the second fight with Ben Saddik shows. And he made Badr quit and simulate an injury twice. It would be very interesting to see him in those days. Unfortunately we do not have timemachines yet. So we will never know. Btw he also beat Gohkan. Which aint No walk in the park either

and your ass not to forget lol

5' 6" is good height

Badr faked an injury twice even he found out his best was not good enough and Rico stood up again. Badr has no endurance, just speed and technique. Thats not enough against Rico. He found out the hard way and quit. Twice!!!

What you talking about, he lost twice, and Badr, you mean that guy who lost all his matches since 2016, lol that guy?

Fun fact: badr never won ANY big titles in K1 nor in Glory. The fights he won against meaningful opponents all were close to retirement, like Peter, Sam and Ernesto. What a “legend”

😂😂😂😂

Francis would kill him stop it

That depends. In an Octagon. Rico would probably not win. . Rico is a kickboxer,he never wrestled a day in his life. Nore did he practice bjj or Sambo. Micheal Jordan would not have a chance in soccer against Mezzi neither. These dumb compares always have annoyed me. But to go along with it. Francis would not have a chance in a ring with Kickboxing rules. I remember Bob Sapp storming like the Yankee steroid mutant he is, at Peter Aerts. In K1 ones. He immediately got kneeyed in the liver and fell down like the Twin Towers and never stood up. The same would happen to Nganou in a Kickboxing match. Rico would not even let him get close and if he did he would clinch and stop the attack. Francis is a beast. And he is no Bob Sapp. But he ain't no kickboxer nore is he unbeatable. He nearly won over Cyril Cane who is also a kickbokser, with MMA rules but not half the kickboxer Rico is. You overestimate the strength of Nganou and underestimate the skills and size of Rico which is the heavyweight Champion of the world for 9 years. Hoe many Giants do you think he beat in 9 years? He would chop Francis down like a lumberjack chops down a Douglas pine. MMA rules Francis would Win. If he would be able to close the distanc. Which I doubt. Rico is a lot bigger than Stipe is. And a whole lot more agile and atletic. And we all know what he did with Francis the First time they met. Remember?

@@JoetheSkeptic think again.

@Pitbullcritics nope nothing to think Francis would kill him

@@JoetheSkeptic I like the way you answer and your persistence to hold on line a pitbull after all the reasons I gave you to think again. You must be a guy that has seen a lot happen against all odds. Very headstrong. I like pitbulls though. Very funny dogs. I,ve had three. I now have an American Bully extreme. Your real name Stewie perhaps? Or Chico? That could not be a coincidence anymore. You believe in reïncarnation. Like coming back as a dog. Or, as in this case, the other way around.

Three to five rounds encourages them to fight harder which is why the average kickboxing fight is more exciting than boxing. Boxing should have less rounds to encourage this and not waste people's time too. Tyson could have been decent in Kickboxing it legends like Schilt and Verhoeven could have taken him. A current Glory contender like Levi Rigters would have taken Tyson

@@kevthegoat8774less rounds would also be good cause way less brain damage
