K-1 Rising – The kickboxing juggernaut’s return to glory begins in Spain. Full lineup announced!
For months now, we have had heard rumors regarding the return of K-1. Then there came the news that K-1 and current kickboxing powerhouse It’s Showtime struck a deal whereby both promotions would join forces in order to put together some of the biggest kickboxing bouts since the K-1′s glory days in Japan. Finally, we heard rumors of a show sometime later this year as well as a press release stating that K-1 is looking to make its way stateside during the 2012-2013 season to help further promote kickboxing here in the United States.

Now, I don’t know Badr Hari myself, so I’m just talking about what he looks like. He may in fact be a very nice guy that enjoys long walks on the beach and sipping wine by the fireplace. Maybe on his downtime he likes to bake quiche for the elderly or read Dr. Seuss to 2nd graders, but part of his appeal as a fighter has always been that he just looks like the type of guy that after beating you senseless would probably follow you home and burn your house down. So, it was actually no surprise to hear that Badr Hari was wanted by Dutch authorities in connection with the aggravated assault of a bouncer at a nightclub in Holland sometime in February. Now according to Hari he had nothing to do with the assault and the doorman corroborated his statement, saying that Hari had nothing to do with the assault and that he (the … Continue reading
