I hope Rico destroys Badr. Otherwise the whole division looks like a joke. These guys are so far below Rico. Yup, that's the other side of the coin. For me the only way for this division to move forward is something drastic to happen. Something .. new  Cuz right now is like - oh, yea, Rico is fighting again. Automatic win for him. It's like the case with Wladimir Klitschko in boxing. The division was on hold, until Tyson Fury beaten him up, now we have vacant titles and lots of new, good heavyweight boxers to fight for them and that's how the boxing division is alive again! i agree, if Hari wins I think things become interesting again in HW division. Nobody needs another Wladimir Klitschko in kickboxing. |

Pavel Zhuravlev defeats Zinedine Hameur-Lain by R1 (T)KO (Punches)
I'm not surprised by the result, but I feel Hameur-Lain deserved the benefit of the doubt and it was stopped a bit too early.
We are 2-2 in the poll.

I couldn't disagree with this any more if I tried haha I can't stand the notion that Verhoeven is a boring fighter because he doesn't KO everybody or because he doesn't talk trash. Hari, who has no interest in fighting regularly or hasn't even any passion left for the sport anymore defeating the champion is about the worst thing for the HW division I can imagine. |

"A title shot is on the line in this contender tournament"
Based on previous contender tournaments that's only true about half the time.

Strong round by Adegbuyi, Brestovac feeling those lowkicks already.

Adegbuyi looks like he didn't have a fight before that at all. Interesting to see how his cardio and work rate increased so drastic after the change of the gym. They have to have some pretty good stimulants in there |

Apparently its true... eventually I wonder if it holds true if the contender tournament winner gets blown out by another guy in the division immediately after the tournament |

Brestovac came back a bit in the second round, but he still looked really hurt by the lowkicks. The way he pulled up the knee the whole time was pretty telling.
