Yeah, regardless of the circumstances; Samedov beating Badr was a pretty big upset at the time.
And I don't agree at all with Hari dominating Londt for 95% of the fight, after Round 1 it became a lot more competitive and brawly.
I also can not recall a single person here or in real life that thought Hari would get destroyed by Londt due to Ramadan, lack of training or any other reason, really. It wasn't like Londt was in the best shape of his life or anything. Far from it.
About taking Ramadan into consideration when discussing a fighter's shape; if they feel confident enough to compete it shouldn't be used as an excuse afterward if the performance wasn't great.
Besides, Londt revealed before his fight with Hari that he had converted to Islam, making it a bit of a moot point.
I'm not even going into the possibility that Hari and/or Londt might not even have participated in Ramadan. I know a lot of religious people that don't exactly follow the rules of their religion very strictly, but I digress.
On to the discussion of the Badr vs. Hesdy presser: first thing I noticed was how skinny Badr's face looked, but I completely missed the part where Badr addressed losing weight.
I like how Glory tries to sell this fight as a 'rematch 8 years in the making' and 'Bad Blood', but both Badr and Hesdy were relatively nice and respectful and the whole thing came across a lot more relaxed than Badr vs. Rico for example.

Don't think I've ever thought of Ramadan when it comes to a kickboxer tbh. Only a Khabib MMA thing for me really

Excellent card. I always watch all the way through, but I'm most looking forward to the main event Badr vs Hesdy II, plus Doumbe vs Nabiyev, Glunder vs Pinto and Mohammed Jaraya's Glory debut.

Happening this Saturday!
In spite of my reservations I'm looking forward to watching this one live.
March will be a big month for kickboxing and I hope this ends up being a good start.

Wouldn't it be fun if Badr won by DQ for once?

Wouldn't it be fun if Badr won by DQ for once? I don't see that happening unless Hssdy tries to sell Badr cocaine in between rounds or something Didn't realize how soon this was. Kickboxing Xmas is in March this year

Hesdy Gerges +250 Badr Hari -350

I dunno if I'm just overly-burnt out or something, but this doesn't feel like there's a Badr Hari fight in a matter of days, right?

As in hype-wise? Perhaps not as much as when he was fighting Rico, but that's understandable.
I'm definitely noticing attention on Facebook and in Dutch media, though. Remy was on as a guest on the Ziggo Sport roundtable show a few days ago and made sure to point out he beat Badr twice so he ain't the greatest, lol

Doesn't really feel like it to me either. Then again I don't do facebook at all anymore so what do i know. Limited twitter/sherdog/China forums not feeling it that much at least.
