I actually thought it looked like a wrong count on Badrs half. Yes the punch hit, but he didnt go down. Looked more like he dived out of that knee. I mean, if you get knocked, are you able to see a knee in that speed? I think Bonjasky knew that too, since he didnt continue the raid after Badr beating the count. Usually guys rush for a second knock out. And ive seen Badr sit on his ass like that the whole count before, as a protest. Bonjasky could continue in my eyes, I mean Badr did fight on after a real hard knock out and won. As I saw it good chance Badr would have won! Anyways not a good thing for Badr. He is a great fighter, probably right up there with Aerts, Bonjasky and Schilt. But he needs to grow up and stop being like a fxxking bitch! If he thinks stomping on heads is ok, well he can have a go at Pride. But he would get really fuxxked up there hehe...

The commentator said that Bojanksy had faked damages in a fight previously and it appeared that way now. He knew DQ would leave him with a big fat cheque so why bother to continue fighting a madman? Was this fight fixed?

Ok, seriously... WTF is with saying that Remy "was taking it to Hari for much of the first round..." ???

Are you for real? Looking at the footage, Remy throws about 3 punches the entire round with 3 landing. He throws 4 kicks (2 of which were more defensive strikes), one real kick lands, the other is the knee/shin that Badr decided to go to the ground to duck.

Badr hit Remy with a good shot on the exchange that had him go down. From what I was looking at, Remy was the more inactive of the two fighters and yes he did score a knocked but it was hardly a case of him "taking it to Hari".

Hari did not look like himself in the first round, super-tentative even though he threw more shots than Bonjasky. It looked like he wanted to get DQ'd with his antics, which is bullshit.

Piss-poor of him to hit late after the 1st round and trying to strike and stomp your downed opponent?! That's just retarded. Unless you didn't truly want to lose to Remy by legitimate means.

And true, Remy was the one who took the shots on the ground, even if they questionably landed. But he was also taking the shots in the 2nd while standing up. I think he used the out as well, then acted disappointed when the official word came in. Oscar worthy.

jesus christ, wtf happened to LeBanner?! He's looks like he's so chock full 'o roids I'd probably test positive just from watching that clip.

WAR Remy Bonjasky, still the best fighter name to yell as loud as you can.

Badr was an angry fighter= not good. Champion comes with calm mind and heart. He may have the skill and may even win here and there. But to be a champ consistently you must reveal the heart of a champ not a thuggish behavior like that. If you can't control your emotion, how can you be a true champion? Fefor alwasy calm so is Crocop. Gegard Mousassi is very calm before, during and after a fight, He show what what is like to be a champ. Badr should meditate to reach to the next level. Buty I doubt that Badr will ever reach that. Next fight he's going so angrier and will lose it again. He should walk over and appologize, show the world a real man inside him...BUt he won't find that real man insde, it's burried so deep in that he may never be the same again

@miguel

lmao.

Badr Hari is a rotten fuck.Kimbo Slice is a bad motherfucker.

In related news, Cecil Peoples judged this fight and ruled it a knockout victory.

As for Badr Hari, " Yes he deserves to die and I hope he burns in hell"

Funny how Badr were putting the mouth piece back in after gettin DQed. Like he was saying: Alright, now take it to the parking lot.
Looks like he wanted to recommend himself to Japanese MMA.

Looks like there was some bad blood between Badr and Remy. Badr couldn't control himself to turn off the switch and cost him the fight. All that work to get to the finals for a DQ.

Besides that, I'm loving K-1, great fights!

It was a joke man. Kimbo called Japan a city... remember?

You're a douche and belong in the city of pussy, pussy. Also, Africa is a continent dumbass. Stop wasting tax dollars and go learn something inbreed.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa

This is a city.

Kimbo haters are a fucking joke,and Badr Hari is a dirty piece of shit.

@djWHEAT: the takedown wasn't what was illegal. You can catch a leg and strike your opponent in K-1. The illegal thing was that once your opponent does go down, you go away and the fight is stood up. There is absolutely no ground fighting allowed. Badr's strike while Remy was down was bad enough as it is, but when he followed it up with a head stomp while being pushed away by the referee, I thought there was no possible way to allow the fight to continue. That's a clear disqualification. And it's disappointing, because I've always been a fan of Badr's.

I love to watch LeBanner fight. The leg kicks he and Remy were trading sounded like baseball bats wailing on a butchered cow. I also enjoy watching Badr fight. The guy doesn't look big when he's out of the ring, but when he gets in there and you size him up against other big dudes, you see that he really is a beast! His gangsta/rapper/douchebag vibe is little over the top. I find that hard to stomach.

Oscar-worthy acting on Remy's part? Only he will ever know. Fact is, if that fight had been allowed to continue, what would ever discourage Badr from doing that garbage again? He deserved to lose regardless of whether Remy was truly wounded or not. Remy could'a said, "Hey, I'm fine. Let's continue," and the ref could'a said, "Nope, I'm DQing this bastard for that crap," and I would'a said, "Dam straight."

I'm not happy that the ending was via DQ, but I am happy that Bonjasky won in the end. I was becoming a fan of Hari, but DAMN what a crappy attitude for a fighter to have! He got all pissy because Remy knocked him down in the 1st. I'm not opposed to a rematch of course, especially if Hari gets his act together.

BTW, here is Badr getting KO'd like you wouldn't belive before his K-1 career.

What an absolute child Badr Hari is. He is losing a fight to a guy who beat him before so his response is to freak out and get himself DQ.

You dont stomp your opponent in a standing rules fight unless you want out. The chances of hurting your opponent are pretty high with it, Hari definitely threw that stomp with bad intentions. Actually turned out good for Hari that Remy did not look that injured (key word is "look")

Badr Hari has always had the reputation for having the mental make up of a 13 year old.

From what i've heard it wasnt Remy who wanted to win the fight by DG, but it was a decision made by the Refree for Hari's wrong doings. Though i expected the fight to go on.

overall it was a great event with some fire works. I wonder what Semmy is thinking now... oh and Peter Aerts who beat Semmy to get to the WGP then to lose to a guy like Hari.

Hari seriously needs to fuckin grow up! omg

MMA Web: Its his job to take hits standing up. If that doubles the vision, so be it.

But he shouldn't be expected to continue when he is severely handicapped by a blatantly illegal blow. That encourages illegal behavior.

Hari cheated, he got DQ's. Frankly it should have happened whether Remy was hamming it up or not.

Saw the k-1 finals and Bonjansky is a great big cry baby. Stand up, shake off your boots and keep going. Dude can take direct blows to the head staning up, but when knicked on the ground he gets double vision. C'mon.

off-topic: wow is this the true djWHEAT?

ontopic: that deserved a DQ. It was a bummer, the event was being great until that. I think he tried to find the easy way out to be honest...

Oiii Badr took Remy down like my ex-girflriend on a peckah!

Anybody know where to see the Oscar Manny fight for free online

Badr Hari like a money

Yes, it is old scool muay thai. You see how high he carry`s the guard, that is how muay thai fighters used to do it, some still do. But the influence of western fighters has made most muay thai fighters use a more basic boxing guard.

You are allowed to kick the opponent leg one time if you grab the other leg, and if that swips your opponent it scores points. But if you throw ore push it doesn`t score points like it does in muay thai. But if you don`t follow a throw up, you don`t get a warning.

@sajkool

no contest in the final of the k-1 gp? not a chance.

additional re K1 could it be that Badr was still affected by concussion suffered in earlier round on same night , or is he just a fatherless bastard with serious issues.

re k1 FINAL shit appens man

If by throwing a lot of punches and not landing any while getting knocked down means winning a fight, then I guess Hari was winning.

seriously, bard'r fucking pwned his opponent, sure he did some bad shit, but is his opponent really worth to be a champion cuz of been stomped in the head? thats bullshit, make this game no contest!

Looks like Badr wants to be an ultimate fighter!

I don't know what everyone else is looking at but those were two hard shots to the side of the head, one being a stomp ... can't blame the guy ... he didn't seem to happy about his win by DQ ... judging by the fact he was crying ... Badr was wholly losing that fight and knew it ... so he took some cheap shots

What a thug. Would love to see him and Kimbo fight!

Well Remy did the same thing against Bob Sapp a few years back. I don't know, it does seem weak, but everything I read about him is that he's trly a great guy. I'll take his word for it.

The first round knockdown was the biggest bitchslap I've ever seen.

Badr was just pissed cuz he couldn't buy a vowel.

Remy deserves the win. The fight with LeBanner is nice. Remy's punching style seems strange. I noticed he comes over the top wtih alot of his punches, both jabs and crosses. Is this just a more Muay Thai approach to punching instead of a boxer's approach?

Fuck Badr Hari, seriously. He was frustrated because he couldn't do anything with Bonjasky. Bonjasky hit him and Hari was knocked down, and as most people know, if you lose the first round to Bonjasky, you lose. Bonjasky was landing on the leg as he did in the first fight, and then scored a knockdown. Bonjasky wasn't gonna open up and take Hari's punches and Hari resorted to being a bastard. Hari was fighting a near perfect tournament up until he flipped his shit. He was losing the fight, but he was rallying.

Perhaps it was because Bonjasky attempted the flying knee when Hari looked dazed before the knockdown. Who knows?

To be honest, does this really ruin a great night of fights? Bonjasky was probably going to win, and was winning anyway.

Let us remember the good parts: Rib busting flying kick, Ray Sefo dancing in Hong-Man Choi's face and landing an incredible spinning back fist; pyrotechnics, Saki's spinning back fist, Errol Zimmerman's entrance, knockouts, Manhoef's somewhat gay but ultimately cool S&M esque entrance, tons of back and forth action with a multitude of clean punches and knockdowns and spinning back kicks, and a self destruction unparalleled in combat sports.

I'm actually pretty new to K-1 aside from watching a few single fights recommended by others...

Was the illegal takedown because he had grabbed his leg after the kick?

Wes Simms vs Badr Hari

You'd think a fighter of Kimbo's stature would prefer the country of Tokyo to the city of Japan.

I actually like it when fighters really want to hurt each other. However, doing it in a fashion that goes beyond the limits of what the sport allows is wrong. Don't represent your sport that way, and don't do that to your own fans. When you're in the ring or the cage you know full well of what will get you in trouble and what won't so why bother unless it's unintentional?

If you're gonna settle some beef like that do it Crazy Horse/Chute Boxxe style, which is backstage, and sanctioned by your teammates.

@wtf, I think you missed babalu's point.

There was definately a need for a DQ.

There are rules there for the safety of the fighter, and they should be enforced, at all times.

If someone is in that sport who cant control their temper, they should get disqualified, immediately. And fined / banned from the sport.

This isnt a dangerous sport because of all these rules, if we let inbred monkeys like badr hari run around stomping ppl when they are down, it gets dangeroes.

i smell a rematch

no need for that DQ...? badr showed bad intentions and sportsmanship when throwing a late left at the end of the 1st and walking away staring like hes some schoolyard bully, maybe if he threw one punch on the ground but a heel stomp! would have rather seen bonjasky knock him the fuck out but the shamed look on his face like he got news that he has the clap was justice enough.

Another hot day....in the city....


No need for that DQ.

Kimbo is a monkey and belongs in the city of Africa
