Badr Hari

Biography and career
Badr Hari began practicing kickboxing at the age of seven, under the guidance of former World Champion Mousid Akamrane. As a teenager he trained under Mohammed Ait Hassou at the Sitan Gym. When the Sitan Gym moved to Rotterdam, Badr joined the famous Chakuriki Gym ran by Thom Harinck. Under Harinck, Hari developed into one of the greatest kickboxing talents of the Netherlands.

Early career
Under Harnick's coaching, Hari suffered few losses. In 2003 he replaced Melvin Manhoef with only a few days notice, to fight Alexey Ignashov. Hari, outweighed by more than 18 kg, lost the fight by knockout, but gained a lot of respect for stepping up to such an opponent under those circumstances.
In January 2005, Hari left Chakuriki and joined Simon Rutz's It's Showtime team. After a few months' training at Mejiro Gym he returned to Harinck's, but left again a couple of weeks later. Since then Badr Hari has been coached by Mike Passenier, who also trains Joerie Mes, Bjorn Bregy and Melvin Manhoef.

Road to K-1
Hari's road to fame began with a pair of matches against Stefan Leko in 2005. It took place at the It's Showtime 8 event, on June 12, 2005. Hari, who was generally known for his big mouth and slow ring entrance started some trash talk between them before the fight and abused Leko on the night which took a while to settle down. The ring entrance took longer then the actual fight, where Hari was knocked out by Leko's 'trademark' spinning back kick. Leko looked to be spitting on Hari while he was down.
On November 19, 2005, Hari got his chance for revenge. He entered the K-1 World Grand Prix 2005 as a reserve fighter against Stefan Leko. Hari didn't seem to have lost his confidence and knocked Leko out by a spinning back high kick to the jaw. After all the bad blood between both fighters, Hari helped his opponent up and escorted the dazed German to the corner.

K-1 New Zealand 2006
In 2006 Badr Hari was scheduled to participate in the K-1 World GP 2006 in Holland on May 13, 2006, but fought in the K-1 World GP 2006 in New Zealand instead as a last minute replacement. His opponent in the first round was Australian Peter "The Chief" Graham. Hari once again showed his bad boy reputation by abusing Graham and starting a street fight at the press confereance. In the actual fight Hari was knocked out by Graham's trademark "Rolling Thunder". The heel hit Hari hard on the head and knocked him out cold. Graham's kick broke Hari's jaw in multiple places and sidelined Hari for almost a year. [2]

Return to K-1
Hari returned to the ring at the K-1 World GP 2006 Final Elimination in Osaka, Japan against Ruslan Karaev. Karaev hurt Badr with a straight left that left Hari slouching over in the corner, then Karaev kicked him in the face when Badr looked as though he was already lying on the canvas. Hari was counted out by the referee but immediately he and his corner protested, saying the kick was a foul. When the referee did not respond, Hari left in anger and trashed his changing room. [3]
Despite been knockout, Hari was once again picked as a reserve fighter in the K-1 Grand Prix 2006 Finals against Paul Slowinski. He won the fight by unanimous decision.
Hari then fought Nicholas Pettas in the same year and broke Pettas's left arm in the second round with his powerful round kicks.
Hari got his revenge against Karaev onK-1 World GP 2007 in Yokohama. Karaev and Hari's matchup was one of two bouts to qualify for the first K-1 Heavyweight Title Match, scheduled on April 28, 2007 in Hawaii. Hari was knocked down in the second round and was just able to make it to his feet when Karaev intended to finish the fight with a swinging punch which Hari ducked, and landed his own punch to score a KO.[4]

K-1 Heavyweight champion
On April 28, at K-1 World GP 2007 in Hawaii, Badr Hari and Yusuke Fujimoto fought for the newly introduced Heavyweight belt. Hari won the fight in 56 seconds with a kick to the chin. With the knockout Hari became the world's first ever K-1 Heavyweight champion.[5]
Hari got his chance for revenge against Graham in Hong Kong where he dropped Graham with a body punch and won by unanimous decision.

His winning streak came to an end with a decision loss to Remy Bonjasky, during quarter final.

2008
All of Hari's wins in 2008 were by knockouts, by beating Ray Sefo in Yokohama, Glaube Feitosa (whom he defended his heavyweight title) in Fukuoka and Domagoj Ostojic in Hawaii. On his next fight in Seoul he qualified for the K-1 World GP 2008 Final by TKO win over the Korean giant Hong Man Choi.
In the quarterfinals on December 6, Hari defeated three time K-1 World champion Peter Aerts by TKO in the second round. Then in semis he knocked out Errol Zimmerman and headed to his first K-1 Final against Remy Bonjasky. After suffering a knockdown in the first, Hari was disqualified in the second round for unsportsmanlike conduct by stomping and punching an already downed Bonjasky. First the referee Nobuaki Kakuda issued a yellow card and one point deduction. Meanwhile Hari proceeded to Bonjasky’s corner shouting, and quarreled with his opponent's trainer Ivan Hippolyte who then also approached Hari aggressively, but the officials prevented any further physical contact between them.[6] After the five-minute recovery time elapsed, the doctor reported Bonjasky was seeing double and could not continue. Hari was issued a red card and Bonjasky was declared the K-1 World GP 2008 champion.[1]
In later interviews Badr claimed Bonjasky was acting, and that "Remy's corner was screaming at him to stay down".[7]
After the event Badr was not suspended for his actions, but K-1 he was however stripped of his heavyweight title and his fee for participation in the tournament.[8]
While there were many rumours of his and his opponent's participation, it was finally announced that Badr would face MMA Heavyweight Alistair Overeem in a K-1 rules match on K-1's NYE extravaganza. Hari lost the fight by a left hook KO in the first round within 2 minutes. Part of the fight agreement is that both Badr and Overeem would also fight each other in an MMA match for FEG's DREAM promotion sometime in 2009.
Because of been stripped from his heavyweight tittle he could not participate in the heavyweight tournament in Yokohama in 2009, However in May at Showtime he will face former 3 time consecutive champion Semmy Schilt

Remy Bonjasky

The Story of a Born Champion. Remy Bonjasky

The story of my life begins in Paramaribo, Surinam were I was born in the year 1976. At the age of five, my family and I crossed the ocean to start a life in an new country, the Netherlands. You would expect that such a major change of circumstances would be unpleasant for me but that wasn’t true. On the contrary, I was very excited. So in 1981, my mother, brother Milton, sister Ivette and I moved to the Netherlands were we were reunited with my father who was already living and working there. He had left Surinam a couple of years before we arrived because of his job. At the age of five I started to play soccer such as every ordinary Dutch boy did. This very popular Dutch sport was the love of my life and I put my heart and soul to it. I was a defender as well as the goalkeepers backup. These days I could not imagine a life without my beloved soccer....

But when I was sixteen, something bad happened, I broke my left leg. This was very disappointing for me because it meant that I couldn’t play soccer for at least two months. It also meant I would lose my condition and routine and that wasn’t a joyful thought at all. After eight weeks the cast from my leg was removed, I was very glad when this happened, especially because the summer was on its way. Off course nobody would want to be stuck with a hard object around there leg in the summertime. That would really be a horrible imprisonment for such a young child. After recovering from this nasty leg injury I did not manage to succeed at the same soccer level as when I had left before the injury. This was caused by the process of my recovery. During the recovery period I wasn’t guided well what caused some pains in my hips. Because of this pain I couldn’t run and sprint as fast as I should and wanted to. I was not willing to give up my desire for soccer so I tried to practice and play at least one more season. But even after this season I could not manage to grow into my old shape and physique. After a while I decided to quit soccer, this was very unpleasant for me. My goal of becoming a successful soccer player at a major league team had been shattered. It was shocking to face a situation that made it impossible to live up to my own dream.

During this time I also was a high school student. Like every teenage boy my friends and I were talking about girls, soccer and partying. One day we were deeply discussing the movie we saw the evening before. This movie was called `Bloodsport` and the leading role was for Jean Claude van Damme. The conversation between my friends and me was about kickboxing and who was capable of imitating van Damme the best. This discussion led to one friend actually telling us about a Thai Boxing Dojo were he used to train. He actually challenged us to join this Dojo the `Mejiro Gym`, so we could prove to each other who was the best. And this was exactly what we did! The first time at Mejirogym was harder than I had imagined. My knowledge about Thai Boxing was really poor, so I could not known to expect such a hard time during training. But after my first training session full of fundamentals skills and conditioning I liked it so much I again fell in love with a sport. So after a period of time searching for a new activity such as basketball, volleyball, badminton and lifting weights I finally again found a sport where I was deeply passionate about.

After a period of time I was the only one left from the group of friends who initially singed up with Mejirogym. Practice is the mother of perfection and after already six months I was ready to fight my first match. The first fight was the most important one. I had to face a great talent, Valentijn Overeem, who later became a very good free fighter. Before the fight my nerves were killing me, mainly because it was my first fight and also because all my friends and family came to see me fight. Despite my nerves I was optimistic about winning the fight. The battle only lasted for one and a half round because I was able to force my opponent to give up by using my knees, which would later be famous and know as the flying knee.

This basically tells the story how I began my Thai Boxing career and how my career continued ,fight after fight and win after win. It was going well for me, not only because I was talented but primarily because of the great support and preparation I experienced at `Mejiro Gym`. Before I knew I was fighting in the professional league , but I only practiced three or four times a week. That was far from enough to be constantly winning from the fighters in the A-league. If I wanted to achieve more, like fighting K-1, and become an all round fighter I needed to expand my training scheme. At this time I turned 25 years old and I was working at a big internet company as a network operator. While my Thai Boxing career was moving upwards It became harder and more unmanageable for me to combine Thai Boxing with my job. It especially became a bit of a problem at the times when I needed to fight abroad. With only a certain number of holidays It was not easy to travel regularly and be productive at work. At a certain moment a very good friend of mine offered me a proposition I couldn’t refuse. His exact words were “Remy, if you choose to do K-1 and give all your 100%, I will sponsor you and I will make sure you will be able to develop your talent by practicing as much as you can”. The choice of fully focusing on Thai Boxing was not that easy, because my working career gave me more certainty for the future. But all I want was to pursuit my dream.

And Finally the moment had come that I could follow my dreams and I decided to fully focus on my passion. The proposition was the extra push I needed to become an all round Thai Boxer .From becoming a full professional Thai Boxer my extend goal was set to win the t K-1 Grand Prix championship one day. Not in my wildest dreams I could have imagined that only a year and a half later after becoming a professional Thai Boxer, I would realize my ultimate dream by winning the K-1 championship in 2003. If this was not enough I was able to successfully defend my title at the K-1 championship in 2004 as well. So this how in a nut shell the career of Remy “The Flying Gentleman” Bonjasky took off ...Nowadays Remy Bonjasky is still a world class Thai Boxer and the Dutch fighter with a Surinamese Heritage managed to reclaim the K-1 Grand Prix Championship in 2008 again.

Gannon is quoted as saying, "It's not my fault Kimbo's crew is ignorant of mma techniques and styles."
