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.
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

"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.
@@bizmonkey007 Rico had better indurance, and/or fought more economical the first rounds, dispite taking a beating and defending poorly. Saddik seems to focus on power, and and early KO. Luck's got little to do with that IMO.
@@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.
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
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.

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.
The best performance I've seen from a fighter in my entire life was this performance by Rico. the guy is a lion, the king. one of the best fights I've ever seen in my life. even in boxing in recent years there are no fights like this. got worse in ufc. it only existed in Pride. my respect to the king of kickboxing of Brazil 🇧🇷🤝🇳🇱

@@DontConvinceMe He stated 10 title defences which is all the ten title matches he won since since Rico became champion 2014. **Correction 11 defences according to Glory site**
Outside of hanging onto the clinch a little to long throughout the fight this is another masterclass by Rico. He demonstrates what excellence in the basics can do.
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
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
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!

One of the best heavyweight fight of the year for sure.Nice to ear Badr talking about the heart and quality of other fighters,really appreciate very good comment 🏅🏅🥇🏆
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 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.
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.
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.
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!
they both gave their all respect to Jamal he knew its over no need to fall down and respect to Rico he is the best in this sport we got everything we were asking for in the 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
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.
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.
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!!!
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!
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 👍🏽
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
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.
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.
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 🏆
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.
Did you hear Badr standing up twice, putting his headset down and coaching Jamal from the side? Telling him not to turn his head away? He really got into it.
People forget that jamal saddık battled cancer. He came back at world top level fight. This is very exceptional and amazing.
He battled cancer 2x times even, and won.
Man was a warrior way before this fight even started ✊🏾
3 times

Got caught 2 times with ped,s
De dag dat ik enorm veel respect voor Rico kreeg. Uit verloren positie de wedstrijd winnen, was een het toonbeeld van een echte vechter.
Holy shit, what a comeback! Rico has so much heart & he's super fit & skilled. What a performance.
super steroided, but yes, great athlete
@@noidontthinksolol seems he doesnt have access to steroids lol
@@noidontthinksolol he is right stop being a cringe fangay
@@achille295 he on glory privelege on any other organisation the fight is stopped
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
One of the best heavyweight fight of the year for sure.Nice to ear Badr talking about the heart and quality of other fighters,really appreciate very good comment 🏅🏅🥇🏆
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.
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.
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.
Just discovered Glory Kickboxing, and WOW this was intense! These guys fought a War. Respect 👊👊🔥🔥
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.
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!
they both gave their all
respect to Jamal he knew its over no need to fall down
and respect to Rico he is the best in this sport
we got everything we were asking for in the fight
Rico seriously showed such a power in this fight... unbelievable.
Rico have the heart of a champion.
Respect from Morocco.
Appreciated, respect from NL. 💪
This is an epic fight performed by both. Thumbs up!!!
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.
Rico with his phone face recognition not working after the match had me dying😭😂. The 🦁 heart pumping in both these fighters, amazing!
But damn the Goliath coming at you for that first 10 minutes is frightening, Rico the 👑
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
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.
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!!!
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!
Damn!!! One Of The Greatest Fights I’ve Ever Seen… Congrats To The Champ And Love And Respect To Both Lions, 👊🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
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
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 👍🏽
Damn the injuries these guys sustained and kept going! Crazy
The difference between boxing and kick-boxing is a lot, why is it that much of a difference.
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
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
Rico is a real warrior ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️
Ben Saddik hitting Rico in the back of the head AFTER he went down then complaining when Rico does the same is classic Moroccan stuff
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
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.
RESPECT to both Fighters for this awesome clash of the titans! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
maximum respect and honour to BOTH fighters! WHAT A FIGHT!!!! Round 2+3 are epic!
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.
Finally they released the full fight
Over and over again Rico has been proving he is the Heavyweight King 👑 of Kickboxing!!!!! Heyyyyyyy!!!!
This was the best fight in years that i have seen live. Both fighters big respect🏆
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
ua-cam.com/video/bRLiOxNWMus/v-deo.html🙌🏼💀
He was alright, but like the commentators said, it was pretty clear from his eyes, he was still in the fight.
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.
Real fight! No quiting! Respect! Legends!
What a fight. Never really watched kick boxing or what ever this is but away to take a deep dive into both fighters. Amazing
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 🏆
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 an incredible fight! Two warriors. Cool to hear Badr call the fight too.
only a true fighter knows about how hard a fight is big respect for both
Respect for all 2 fighters 🤝🏼... Congratulations Rico 👊🏼👊🏼
Mis respetos para Rico Verhoeven, es un peleador con un gran corazón!
Safe fighter really boring Jamal have more respect!
This is how champions fight. Respect for Rico
Congrats to both. What a Fight! great athletes 👊
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.🤷♂️
What a BEAST!!! One of the best kickboxing fights I’ve ever seen.
Clearly you never saw k1
Did you hear Badr standing up twice, putting his headset down and coaching Jamal from the side? Telling him not to turn his head away? He really got into it.
Yes I noticed too, I'm glad Badr was commenting
Dude that cut in the leg of jamal is " CAR CRASH GRADE " and so is the cut in Rico's eyes ..... warriors ❤
One of the best match ups I have seen in a long time. Top notch kick boxing
You’d think Jamal’s team would’ve learned their lesson from the last two fights and work on his endurance. Especially when going against Rico.
He had a short prep time, as late moment replacement for Overeem
No reason he can't lose 15-20 lbs. He's noticeably overweight.
They probably did but that mass uses lots of energy and when in a fight, you have to fight back.
