Pretty new to watching Glory. Every Rico fight I've watched so far he's faced some adversity early on. Dude's ability to recover is insane & has the heart of a warrior.
Jamal perfectly demonstrated "everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the face". He truly smashed Rico's defense, fighting style and tactics out of his mind. Rico proved he can take a punch and truly is a warrior in his heart. +1000 respect for both of these lions.
@@swaffelkonijn1752 Well you said it so it must be true. No one takes your word as fact, and even if it were true, why would anyone care? It has nothing to do with his athletic achievement.
Let me start this by saying this was the first kickboxing match I have ever watched. From the initial stats one would think that Jamal would have the advantage, and it seemed that way for a while. However, stats cannot convey the endurance that Rico displayed. What a machine.
"So what are you gonna do now?" "I'm gonna rest, and then I'm gonna go back to the drawing board and analyse this fight a million times, to see what I did wrong, and get better." That's his answer after a WIN. Now that's a champion mentality.

Cancer is not easy on the body and mind, and the treatment even tougher. Even after years of recovering the body still is weak and not the same strenghth as before. That's why Jammal gets exausted after 2nd round. Speaking of experience I know what this guy has been through and still is even with "cancer free now" which is a remission and not a total cure. Big respect to this Warrior. Ricco is an amazing fighter as well. Big respect to both of them
im currently in treatment but i still play football every once in a while i always used to be the fastest on the pitch but my body cant keep up rn respect to you brother 🫂
No matter what people want to say Rico Verhoeven is definitely one of the greatest kickboxers of all time. He deserves to be mentioned along the lines with guys like Hoost, Aerts, Schilt, Bonjasky, Cikatic etc
I was upset at first that i could not see Alistair fight during my first glory event. But my sadness turned into happiness when this fight started. What a fight and overall great event! I will go again in the future💪🏻
I think alistar, did'nt suffer from an injury. I think more like doping was into play. If you remember the press conference in between rico and alistar; rico said something about being doping free and like pointing the finger tot alistar. Right after that he had to resign. I think they did that to protect alistar's rep.
Old school. Good to see the ref didn't stop the fight. Glad these 2 got their beef sorted and respect each other now and so can anyone watching them fight out this trilogy.
Rico always fighting hard, his physics and mental are in different level. His combination of kicks and boxes could not be able to observed by opponents for many years that's why he is still champion. So many top fighters came up but he let them down.
@@klixovic6855 Nothing like Badr. Badr always beats himself with his uncontrolled flying kicks breaking his own bones. Baddik tried to win with the cheapest trick in the book punching the eye open.

Rico's body kicks , knees, left uppercuts and right hands were taking there toll on the Goliath. Yes even Body kicks were a factor for sure . Rico's body kicks are brutal and imo are underestimated.
Are you dumb. Its super simple. Rico survived because of his condition.has said so himself. Both winners.rico had the condition. Jamal really had the punches.
Do you really think that jamal was really up by the punches. No everything was still standing. He was tired as fuck and yes in the end he hit well but he was on really because of his condition.Then he could hit back. His head was still up almost the whole fight
Seen it live and now rewatching it after almost 3 years. Still the best heavyweight fight i've ever seen. Respect to both fighters 🙏 Crazy how they were even standing after round three
The fight could have easily been stopped because of the terrible cut, and the fight was in the balance but the incredible will to win from Rico made this one of the most dramatic fights ever.
I think it could have been stopt both ways for the cut but also at some points Rico was Kneeing him in the Face and Bombing him in the Clinch with multiple Shots and Jamals was out on his Feet and the Ref seperated them and gave him Seconds that he needet so he was able to comeback but in the End he anyways Lost you need to Ko Rico COld if you let him hit you for 2-3 Rounds its over your Legs,Arms he will shatter everything into Pieces his Shots are not allways 100% Power he hits multiple with 70-80% that add up and totaly destroy the Opponents Body until he gives out alone his inside Calf Kicks etc are so fcking ruthless this Man is 270 Pounds full of Muscle and Strength with a insane Gastank all respekt to Rico and also to Jamal both are Monsters!

Thx voor de upload glory! Je wint je match als je kan incasseren, verdedigen en uithouding hebt. Die zaken heeft rico zeer goed onder de knie. Respect ook voor jamal. Mss beter wat rustiger aan gedaan dan had hij mss gewonnen. Rico still be the champ!
What a tough decision to decide if you should retreat when you feel you are losing, to Live and fight another day.. or say “fuck it” and fight until your body gives out. My respects to these warriors
If this fight doesn't inspire you and win the respect of Rico than you are not on the good guy team !!! Even the Goliath had to respect Rico after this , I mean come on.
Both fighters were amazing...even though the fight was incomplete, they both made one of most memorable fights...Jamal with his condition but gave a fight night, and Rico with his flaws but bleed out his heart... Wont forget this short but emotional fight.
I nearly SHEET my pants 👖 when I watched this the night they fought. EVERYTHING Saddik has been through in his life .. to come out like this and hurt the Champ like he did was amazing. BUT we see why Rico is so good.. you gotta KO him if your gonna beat him. Rico came back and Saddik got tired that last round. BUT WHAT A FIGHT‼️OH MAN I LIVE FOR FIGHTS LIKE THIS 👍🏽
I think Badr was not really an objective commentator. He did not want to compliment Ricos abilities. He always said "It's just because Jamal turns his head" instead of appreciating the big overhand right by Rico.
Having some commentary from a pro fighter in the sport is amazing! Makes the fight so much more entertaining and intense to folllow. Such a damn good fight!
Did you notice Badr was coaching Jamal a few times when things really got ugly? Badr just dropped his headset to yell at Jamal to keep watching and don't turn his head.
every PRO fighter knows these things... But when you are standing in that ring, it is easy to forget. If badr was in that ring and jamal was comentating, jamal would also give great advice!
Obrigado Senhor! "Método Ncl" Oss! Parabéns Rico Verhoeven. Ai tem espírito de guerreiro, coração de lutador. E muita, muita dedicação e treinamento. Sem dúvidas esta luta entra para a história do Kickboxing mundial de todos os tempos. Sendo a que mais me emocionou, pois além da luta em si, uma batalha épica, mostra que o Ncl estava certo. The master!!!
its just nice to see the mutual respect between the fighters and the teams after the fight, gives me just goosepumps. absolute 2 fucking WARRIORS! Nothing but respect.
First time I've heard of Jamal Ben Saddik and damn, he is very accurate. If he had more cardio he would defeat anyone. Amazing performance against Rico, he could've had him.
If it wasn't because of exhausted, he could've finished Ben's showing his first exhausted at round 3. Ben had no cover at all and slow movement as well. He basically looked like a punching bag that time. Same thing happened at round 4. Though Ben complained about back head punch he got but he realised he was too exhausted that time. Note that an over exhausted condition indicates hot breaths, dizziness and blackouts. I guess he was about to reach that condition.
More than the Goliath vs the King, this was The Behemoth vs The Leviathan. Rico is everything that is correct in this sport, a real champion!p: Honour, bravery, and thrill. Jamal a true gladiator, never giving up, and giving his best, to become the best.
Really good referee. It was an easy choice to stop the fight in round 2 but the ref and the doctor let the fight go on and we got an amazing fight in the end
Ein sehr guter Kampf zwischen zwei Giganten und Schwergewichte beide sehr technisch starke Kickboxer aber Rico hat mehr Kondition als Ben Saddik und das war der Unterschied.
You don't hit a downed opponent, especially when the ref's also trying to stop you-- should've been a DQ. Glad to see Rico recover & retain his title. Hope the eye's healing up alright.
Never watched a kickboxing fight this is my first and Jesus Christ jamal and his team were so fucking annoying and that hit with the knockdown annoyed me but at least he got that hit back at the end of round 3 lol

Seen it live and now rewatching it after almost 3 years. Still the best heavyweight fight i've ever seen. Respect to both fighters 🙏 Crazy how they were even standing after round three
If you love combat sports you must’ve seen this fight, one of the best fights in the history of combat sports.
The fight could have easily been stopped because of the terrible cut, and the fight was in the balance but the incredible will to win from Rico made this one of the most dramatic fights ever.
I think it could have been stopt both ways for the cut but also at some points Rico was Kneeing him in the Face and Bombing him in the Clinch with multiple Shots and Jamals was out on his Feet and the Ref seperated them and gave him Seconds that he needet so he was able to comeback but in the End he anyways Lost you need to Ko Rico COld if you let him hit you for 2-3 Rounds its over your Legs,Arms he will shatter everything into Pieces his Shots are not allways 100% Power he hits multiple with 70-80% that add up and totaly destroy the Opponents Body until he gives out alone his inside Calf Kicks etc are so fcking ruthless this Man is 270 Pounds full of Muscle and Strength with a insane Gastank all respekt to Rico and also to Jamal both are Monsters!
Lol funny how the best striker in the world fights for glory and not for UFC. He would destroy Francis.
@@DevilsAvocado69 yeah hes even bigger then Ngannou and prob hits harder then him ^^ find it funny how they allways make everyone believe Blacks have that crazy Genetiks but there are Whites walking around 270 Pounds full of Muscle like him and its no rar Thing in Poland,Holland or Russia ,Austria we have alot of 190 cm 2 Meter tall big full of Muscle Freak of Nature Whites with insane Genetiks!
@@Herogames2022 Yeah it's another unfounded stereotype, there's not many black guys in the worlds strongest man competitions. I live in Scotland and there's plenty of big guys here, we have the Highland games here which is a series of events based on strength and some of they guys are absolute units. I'm 6ft 1 and about 15st, think that's about 210lbs american and standing next to some of the dudes I feel tiny lol.
@@DevilsAvocado69 Yeah or Hafthor Eddie Hall etc its all a stupif Stereotype from Amerika
Holy shit, what a comeback! Rico has so much heart & he's super fit & skilled. What a performance.
super steroided, but yes, great athlete

Thx voor de upload glory!
Je wint je match als je kan incasseren, verdedigen en uithouding hebt. Die zaken heeft rico zeer goed onder de knie. Respect ook voor jamal. Mss beter wat rustiger aan gedaan dan had hij mss gewonnen. Rico still be the champ!
What a fight. Never really watched kick boxing or what ever this is but away to take a deep dive into both fighters. Amazing
What a tough decision to decide if you should retreat when you feel you are losing, to
Live and fight another day.. or say “fuck it” and fight until your body gives out. My respects to these warriors
👍👏👏🙋🇹🇷🤍
If this fight doesn't inspire you and win the respect of Rico than you are not on the good guy team !!! Even the Goliath had to respect Rico after this , I mean come on.
They respect each other now 👌
Ofcourse we respect such a fighter, i don't know what's the point of saying that lol
Most fighters respect eachother. It's just salty little bltches on the internet that always wanna act crazy
Rico seriously showed such a power in this fight... unbelievable.
This was the best fight in years that i have seen live. Both fighters big respect🏆
Both fighters were amazing...even though the fight was incomplete, they both made one of most memorable fights...Jamal with his condition but gave a fight night, and Rico with his flaws but bleed out his heart...
Wont forget this short but emotional fight.
Rico with his phone face recognition not working after the match had me dying😭😂. The 🦁 heart pumping in both these fighters, amazing!
I nearly SHEET my pants 👖 when I watched this the night they fought. EVERYTHING Saddik has been through in his life .. to come out like this and hurt the Champ like he did was amazing. BUT we see why Rico is so good.. you gotta KO him if your gonna beat him. Rico came back and Saddik got tired that last round. BUT WHAT A FIGHT‼️OH MAN I LIVE FOR FIGHTS LIKE THIS 👍🏽
Proud of you Jamel, never give up
Next chompion in UFC Hamza 🔥
Got caught 2 times with ped,s
Finally they released the full fight
But damn the Goliath coming at you for that first 10 minutes is frightening, Rico the 👑
Damn the injuries these guys sustained and kept going! Crazy
One of the best match ups I have seen in a long time. Top notch kick boxing
Rico have the heart of a champion.
Respect from Morocco.
Appreciated, respect from NL. 💪
Can we just give some props to Badr Hari's commentating of the fight?
Really insightful, very respectful to both fighters and no ego shown at all.
Never heard swearing during commentary before.
Yeah, it surprised me to be honest. I want to hear more of him as a commentator.
It was “ok”. He played his role well.
@@emielsmalbil6904 I agree, room for improvement, but as far as I know, he is relatively new to commentating. I hope he sticks with it
I think Badr was not really an objective commentator. He did not want to compliment Ricos abilities. He always said "It's just because Jamal turns his head" instead of appreciating the big overhand right by Rico.
вот это да!!!!!!! мир давно не видел таких боёв!!!!
Рико обычно скучно смотреть, но тут! Зауважал его конкретно)
17:40 - судья не дал добить Рико
maximum respect and honour to BOTH fighters! WHAT A FIGHT!!!! Round 2+3 are epic!
Having some commentary from a pro fighter in the sport is amazing! Makes the fight so much more entertaining and intense to folllow. Such a damn good fight!
Did you notice Badr was coaching Jamal a few times when things really got ugly? Badr just dropped his headset to yell at Jamal to keep watching and don't turn his head.
@@PepijnSchoemakerWebinars no that wasnt Badr Haru
@@jeanpaultongeren125 Then who was it you think? You hear his accent.
RESPECT to both Fighters for this awesome clash of the titans! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
From the way Badr analyses this match, you know how big of a fighting iq he got
Naw those are just rules
Of course
True. But the excuse for Jamal was suspect when he was talking about 3 rounds v 5. Weak.
He was also a little bias towards Jamal as well😅
every PRO fighter knows these things...
But when you are standing in that ring, it is easy to forget.
If badr was in that ring and jamal was comentating, jamal would also give great advice!
All comments from BADAR - is GREAT!!!!
Mooi man!!!
Rico is a real warrior ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️
Rico is a monster, King of rings, a beast, a killer, a big pro : and his fightingstyle is amazing to watch.
Congrats and cheers from Morocco
Obrigado Senhor! "Método Ncl" Oss! Parabéns Rico Verhoeven. Ai tem espírito de guerreiro, coração de lutador. E muita, muita dedicação e treinamento. Sem dúvidas esta luta entra para a história do Kickboxing mundial de todos os tempos. Sendo a que mais me emocionou, pois além da luta em si, uma batalha épica, mostra que o Ncl estava certo. The master!!!
The difference between boxing and kick-boxing is a lot, why is it that much of a difference.
What an incredible fight! Two warriors. Cool to hear Badr call the fight too.
Amazing fight. Two amazing warriors. I can’t remember seeing a fight that wasn’t stopped with Rico’s eye injury.
You right.. It could have went the other way to jamal
A cut like that over the eye would stop the fight. Under the eye will depend on how bad it is and if the fighter wants to continue.
its just nice to see the mutual respect between the fighters and the teams after the fight, gives me just goosepumps. absolute 2 fucking WARRIORS! Nothing but respect.
what a fight, and what impressive fighters. very cool to have badr on the mic as well
Badr did great
Real fight! No quiting! Respect! Legends!
Well done Rico.He showed us he has the heart of a Champion.
Yes he has the heart of a champion but not he power of a champion.
@@luckyboy8v So what?
Saddık stopped after the eyes injury of verhoven.
First time I've heard of Jamal Ben Saddik and damn, he is very accurate. If he had more cardio he would defeat anyone. Amazing performance against Rico, he could've had him.
So true
He already won against rico couple of years before this.
@@reodo9838 couple of years? That was 10 years ago, that wasn’t a prime Rico
@@bennyz5515 a win is still a win prime or not lol.
Would you say that rico's wins against badr don't count because badr was out of his prime ?
@@bennyz5515 It wasn't prime Jamal either. He's younger than Rico
This is the best fight, I ever seen, real warriors in the ring
Rico à marché sur le glorry grand respect à lui. ✌️🇲🇦 🇳🇱
Really interesting to see that Rico also got tired at certain points. That was the part you just know that this was becoming a legendary fight.
If it wasn't because of exhausted, he could've finished Ben's showing his first exhausted at round 3. Ben had no cover at all and slow movement as well. He basically looked like a punching bag that time. Same thing happened at round 4. Though Ben complained about back head punch he got but he realised he was too exhausted that time. Note that an over exhausted condition indicates hot breaths, dizziness and blackouts. I guess he was about to reach that condition.
What a BEAST!!! One of the best kickboxing fights I’ve ever seen.
Clearly you never saw k1
More than the Goliath vs the King, this was The Behemoth vs The Leviathan. Rico is everything that is correct in this sport, a real champion!p: Honour, bravery, and thrill.
Jamal a true gladiator, never giving up, and giving his best, to become the best.
Really good referee. It was an easy choice to stop the fight in round 2 but the ref and the doctor let the fight go on and we got an amazing fight in the end
Gooood ? You are crazy sorry aaaaaaaa badddd referee
@@AppieAppie Shut up
ruclips.net/video/bRLiOxNWMus/видео.html🙌🏼💀
He was alright, but like the commentators said, it was pretty clear from his eyes, he was still in the fight.
Respect for all 2 fighters 🤝🏼... Congratulations Rico 👊🏼👊🏼
Over and over again Rico has been proving he is the Heavyweight King 👑 of Kickboxing!!!!! Heyyyyyyy!!!!
Dude that cut in the leg of jamal is " CAR CRASH GRADE " and so is the cut in Rico's eyes ..... warriors ❤
The most beautiful Match in the WORLD ❤️
Ein sehr guter Kampf zwischen zwei Giganten und Schwergewichte beide sehr technisch starke Kickboxer aber Rico hat mehr Kondition als Ben Saddik und das war der Unterschied.
You don't hit a downed opponent, especially when the ref's also trying to stop you-- should've been a DQ. Glad to see Rico recover & retain his title. Hope the eye's healing up alright.
Never watched a kickboxing fight this is my first and Jesus Christ jamal and his team were so fucking annoying and that hit with the knockdown annoyed me but at least he got that hit back at the end of round 3 lol
Jamal bensadik need physically and he knock him out . Badr and jamal seme thinkg . They need physically and both they are 2 best morrocan 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦fighters ! And congratulations rico for his big heart ❤! Thks you all for give us a magical moments in kick boxing ! Thks you dutch and morrocan fighters 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
This is how champions fight. Respect for Rico
Doesn’t anyone notice that Badr Hari doesn’t want to give Rico his shine ahahahah.
He’s jealous but doesnt want to say it ahahahaha
Yep he is such a sore looser…also that he laughed at the cut from Rico.
He doesent care about jamal either he cares about the morocan flag.
Iam always fascinated to see how champions fight,how they face adversity, fall to an isane depth and some how dig deep and produce a win from a losing situation. Amazing to see Rico acheive this. A mark of a true champion 🏆
BRO! This was a WAR! Great job to both fighters!
Big props to Ben Saddik too!
At the beginning he had a clear advantage and could have done it. Unfortunately he didn't had the stamina.🤷♂️
