I don't understand why you have not included Kaman vs. Hoost fights. Rob "Mr. Low Kick" Kaman is generally criminally underrated. And he schooled Hoost.
Seems like Cikatic had stones for hands. Personally, Hoost vs Hug was his "best" defeat in that that it was one of the greatest matches in the history of K1.
Nearly all of Hoost's losses were brutal. While Sapp did hit Hoost after the bell and I believe the other fight was stopped early Hoost losing to Sapp really makes Kickboxing to this day look bad compared to it's counterparts. I couldn't imagine an ex toughman fighter from another non combat sport coming to boxing or MMA with very little technique and beating guys like Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Larry Holmes, Tyson Fury, Stipe Miocic, Fedor Emelianenko, Fabricio Werdum, Mirko Cro Cop, Josh Barnett etc
Honestly, this was one of the few times brute strength overcame skill. Size does matter in a fight and there’s only so many punches you can take from a person that’s 300+ lbs
@@korejakorembad6566 Yes but as far as I understood Cro Cop's win against Sapp came later. Sapp was 'figured out' and if you watch the fight Cro Cop knew better than to get into a slug fest with him, moving around the ring staying out of his way until he gets to land a terrific shot which broke Sapp's orbital bone. Hoost wanted to prove Sapp wasn't worthy and wanted to beat him with his style - there's only so much skill can do when you get into a slugfest with a roided up 175kg tank who was fighting for his life. He let his pride take control. Also it was in the early days when Sapp was literally fighting for all he was worth.
@@Speaker12311 Bro Bob sap was WAYYY heavier than 300 pounds dude was like I think around 420-430 pounds for that fight he's also like 6-6 even the biggest guys in the NFL aren't that big
Please look at the fights between Hoost and Rob Kaman. Kaman is certainly one of the best Dutch fighters ever. A petty he is not as well known as the usual suspects.
7:25 I still have questions about that stoppage; Hoost wasn't loopy and Sapp was hardly landing on anything but the gloves. But if Sapp wasn't such an inveterate headhunter, he could have shut Hoost down early, because Ernesto was hardly guarding his body, at all.
Ernesto Hoost was King of k1 grand prix.Was 4 times golden,11 times in finale.He was not surpassed by anyone.Unfortunately, Bob Sapp and other not-so-good fighters defeated him.
al ga je cikara majstor odvalio od zivota dva puta za redom,i to vec kad je bio u dalekoj penzijo al je branko imo tesku ruku hahahha joj boze sta mu uradi!
Tako je trebalo biti i u prvoj borbi, ali ga je Branko udario zadnji put poslije zaustavljanja borbe od strane sudca pa je bio diskvalificiran. 100 borbi, 87 pobjeda od toga 82 s KO. Većinu poraza je imao iza 35 godine.
@@mr.brenman2132 Hoost would've kicked Sapps knees to cereal if it was real. Not to mention that he backed into a corner and just took it. Someone had a great payday at the bookie..
@@IngeBall He did. Sapp was a roided up behemoth. If you thought those were fake combinations that Sapp threw against Hoost then you have no idea what you are watching to begin with. Hoost would never throw two fights in a row.?
@@piotrwolski4526 Lol how much you want. I don' think anyone would feel great after being punched in the face by Sapp but that Hoost, one of the greatest of all time in the ring didn't know how to get out of that corner and oblitirate Sapps knee.. That was pension, not to neglect the fact that K1 was run by the yakuza. ♥️
Hoost vs Sapp is such an enjoyable fight that I regularly rewatch.
Technique vs Raw Power!

I’m glad i stumbled across this fighter he’s a legend.

Watch more of his fights, he is or became a smart fighter, old video....s
Branko Cikatić died in 2020 not 2010.
Yes,in Solin, Antonio Plazibat is from same town..Solin
Hoost vs Kaman 2. That’s the fight Ernesto Hoost learned a lot from.
В концовочке Боб Сапп передразнил надменного хуста😂

Exactly, and he was better than Hoost.
Branko is biggest warrior from 🇭🇷
Another loss was Sam Greco vs Ernesto Hoost in 1998
RIP branko

Branko Cikatic whooped Hoost ass three times ...such a beast.

Biggest kickboxer ever!
Filho beat them all
Shit, BOB SAPP GAVE HOOST A BUTT WHOOPIN!!!🇺🇸👊
why did branko had a so short career?
He came to K-1 at a very late time. When he won the first and last K-1 champion belt in 1993, he was almost 40 years old.
Бранко Чикатич умер в 2020 а не 2010
Bob Sapp? No way!
Jean Theriault defeated Hoosta.

Solo le faltaba quijada
in kick boxing only one king..micro crocop
His weakness is powerlessness.
Sapp is 1.96 m not 2 meters tall. I mean 4 cm is a big difference in my opinion . What I would give to be 1.82 m and not 1.78 m.lol😘🥳
Hoost Sapp had to be fixed 100%.
Nope. Sapp was a killer at the time when he was trying.

Crocop and Miocic would kill Citakic. You are kidding lol, 😂😂😂

Both were great fighters just in different time. Stupid talk.

3 times but Branko was DQ in first match.
