Is The New K1 Over Before It Even Begins?

Published by in Badr Hari Fight Videos on July 7th, 2012 | 5 Comments »

If various reports are to be believed the recently resurrected K1 has once again NOT payed its lower-card fighters. The main-event fighters like Mirko Crop Cop and Badr Hari were smart enough to demand payment beforehand, but supposedly Simon Rutz of Its Showtime has issued a statement saying that some of his fighters have not received payment.

The future of the K1 Grand Prix looks very uncertain right now. Even Cro Cop, who performed wonderfully at the last K1 event, says that he’s very uncertain of the future of K1 and would even consider returning to MMA. K1 has disputed Simon Rutz’s accusations, saying that his fighters have not been payed, because Rutz has not supplied K1 with the means to pay the fighters.

I, personally, think this is a very weak excuse, and there are probably many uncertainties going on within the K1 ranks. All is not lost for kickboxing fans, however, as Its Showtime and Glory have merged together, and are looking to be the premier kickboxing organization in the world. K1 might be going the way of the legendary PRIDE organization. This is sad, as K1 still has name-value and many people around the world have grown up loving the fighters and atmosphere that K1 created.

Moreover, Badr Hari abruptly aborted his boxing career to win the Grand Prix title. If this honor does not exist anymore than what reason does he have left to stay in kickboxing? While Badr Hari is truly an international superstar, he has some big decisions to make in the next year about his career. I, personally, don’t know if he should hang his kickboxing career on an organization that may be breathing its last breath. But his boxing dreams look to be fading quickly also.


Badr Hari Accused of Fathering a Child With Estelle Gullit, Wife of Ex-Footballer Ruud Gullit

Published by in Badr Hari Fight Videos on June 16th, 2012 | 6 Comments »

Even for Badr Hari, it seems like 2012 has a been a particularly tumultuous year for him. After his ecstatic retirement win over Gokhan Saki, it seemed like things were going just as planned. He had secured a top-level boxing coach in Naazim Richardson and was preparing himself to move to America full-time.

But the best-laid plans often go to waste. After returning to the recently resurrected K1, Badr Hari showed up out-of-shape and messy against Anderson Braddock Silva. While in a previous post I discussed what I thought had contributed to his poor performance, I decided not to mention the baby-mama drama he was reportedly going through.

But since the Dutch media has gone public with this scandal, at this point I might as well write about it. Badr Hari has been accused of impregnating Estelle Gullit, the gorgeous blonde wife of Footballer legend Ruud Gullit. Estelle is almost twenty years younger than her husband at 33-years old and reportedly wants to keep her and Badr’s child. She is going through a separation with Gullit, and this distraction surely played heavily on Badr’s focus in his latest bout with Silva.

Despite all the turmoil and high-profile nature of this pregnancy, the unborn child is ultimately the most important (and innocent) person in this whole ordeal, and I hope the adults in this matter put the child’s health and welfare first.

What Is On Badr Hari’s Back?

Published by in Badr Hari Fight Videos on May 20th, 2012 | 9 Comments »

Badr Hari has what he has called “the werewolf patch” on his back. In fact, what he does have is a genetic skin trait called Becker’s nevus, which is considered a birthmark. Nevus is a medical term for either a pigmented lesion (such as a mole), or for a birthmark. A Becker’s nevus is usually seen in men on the upper back or chest. It is a tan to brown flat patch and studded with dark hairs. Though considered a birthmark, it commonly appears during puberty, probably as a response to increasing levels of testosterone (male hormone). It is benign (not cancerous), and is rarely seen in women. Lasers may decrease the pigmentation, and electrolysis can be used to treat the hairs. Most men with this birthmark are comfortable with its presence and do not desire treatment.

Another famous actor, Richard Gere, has the same birthmark, which can be seen in some of his movie love-scenes.

I am always surprised at how big of a deal people who comment on Badr Hari videos and photos make about Badr’s back. It’s like they have never seen a birthmark before. More people than not have some sort of distinguishing mark or marks on their body and it is NOTHING to be ashamed of.

To me, personally, it increases Badr Hari’s individuality and helps make him unique.

Badr Hari LIkes to Play Tennis

Published by in Badr Hari Fight Videos on May 4th, 2012 | 2 Comments »

The photo below shows a private moment of Badr Hari. It reveals that in his free time Badr Hari enjoys playing the comparatively genteel sport of tennis with some friends.

He also likes to mug for the cameras, and seems pretty light-hearted, in comparison to his fearsome reputation.

Will Thom Harinck Be A Factor in Badr Hari’s Match With Anderson Braddock Silva?

Published by in Badr Hari Fight Videos on April 29th, 2012 | 10 Comments »

Previously, some great readers who commented on this site, pointed out that Anderson Braddock Silva’s coach was Thom Harinck, of the famed Chakuriki gym. Thom Harinck, of course, was Badr Hari’s coach when he was a youngster, and first started developing Badr Hari into the great kickboxing talent that he is today.

What subsequently happened to make Badr Hari leave Thom Harinck still isn’t fully known. Harinck, hismelf, seemed gutted that young Badr left him, as he considered him to have greater natural talent than either Peter Aerts or Ernesto Hoost. Hari, himself, would admit that he was searching to be heard and seen and figure out who he was, but he has never spoken openly about why he left Harinck. Yet, it is widely known that Badr Hari still dislikes Thom Harinck.

In fact, I didn’t realize this, but a commenter revealed to me that Badr Hari’s ultra-agressive behavior towards Hesdy Gerges was due to Harinck being Gerges’ coach. Badr Hari was fighting Thom Harinck and not Hesdy Gerges in the ring that crazy night. This may explain Badr’s irrational, almost animalistic behavior towards Hesdy Gerges when he already was handily winning the fight. It also shows that Hari must have some sort of deep-seated hatred towards Harinck. In contrast, Hari seems to have an almost ideal, mutually bonded and positive relationship with his current coach Mike Passenier.

For Harinck to have such an effect on Badr Hari, it makes me wonder how will he respond to Anderson Silva with Harinck in his corner. Gerges, realistically, was a fighter that Badr Hari should’ve beaten quite easily, but his emotions clouded his actions and cost him the title. The loss and shame also sent him into a self-imposed exile.

While Badr Hari should easily beat Silva, with Harinck in the corner of Silva will the old Badr Hari rear his ugly head again, costing him a fight that he should win again? That added drama should make the fight between the two more interesting.

Below, is the disastrous fight between Hesdy Gerges and Badr Hari. Hari left kickboxing for an entire year after this fight. This match showcases Hari at his most dangerous, volatile, and unpredictable.

Mirko Cro Cop VS Badr Hari Announced For K1 Final Sixteen In Madrid in May

Published by in Badr Hari Fight Videos on April 20th, 2012 | 7 Comments »

Mirko Cro Cop VS Badr Hari will happen in May in Madrid as the first qualifier round for the K1 Grand Prix. And this fight makes me sad, not because Badr Hari is returning to kickboxing, but because K1 is sending Mirko Cro Crop to the slaughterhouse by putting him against Badr Hari.

If Badr can demolish a prime Gokhan Saki, who reportedly trained incredibly hard for his loss to Badr, imagine what he can do to a badly faded Mirko Cro Cop. At his peak, Mirko’s high kick was the stuff of legends, but when was the last time Mirko has knocked anyone out, much less with his high-kick? He has since lost to Gabriel Gonzaga, Cheick Kongo, and Roy Nelson – men who didn’t even belong in the same ring with him at one point. And now to pit him against perhaps the deadliest kickboxer in the world is ludicrous.

While I have tremendous respect for Cro Cop, this fight will neither be competitive or entertaining, just sad to watch Cro Cop get stopped in the first round. This fight proves nothing for Badr Hari, and I wish it had never been made.
