Feel good for Tarik, that guy always fights tough guys but finally came out on top against one. They should rematch -- it ain't like these are deep divisions.

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Donegi Abena was set to make his MMA-debut in Ares last year but it got cancelled.
I wonder how he would’ve done.

 

[Liverkick-king56]

Abena got too content early in letting Babez work him to the ropes and the damage really forced Abena to clearly struggle as the fight went on. I feel like Abena is a few adjustments from taking a rematch but that might just be my bias since I know him more.

The one thing I notice is kickboxers and Thai fighters are probably the toughest in competition competitors out of the combat sports. Every single fight their shins, legs, head, body and arms get absolutely SHREDDED.

Glad they seemingly could squash it

Abena's coach basically forced him to dap up lol

 

[Limeade]

Kebab has quite good cardio considering how out of shape he looks.

He looks like a dad who drinks beers and grills but would you look at his determination and how much he wanted that win.

I didn't like how he turned away so much but very impressive comeback after that initial round.

Yeah right, I do not think they made up, Tarik was talking mad shit before.
It is just better optics, once they fight again they will be at each other throat again.

 

[Paolo Delutis]

ITS RICO TIME!!!!

 

[Reb]

Abena dient want to congratulate Tarik but his coach had none of that. Forced him to give the guy props.

 

[Arashikage4Life]

How were the quarters and semis? I wasn't able to catch anything until the LHW title fight

 

[VinceF]

Levi knocking out Rico would be the best end of this event. Chances are low but never zero

 

[GreenGorilla]

Rigters better fucking knock Rico out with a flying Kick Bonjansky style or I am pissed.

With his athletic ability and ability to throw off odd angles I feel like he'd be similar to Doumbe but obviously he'd need a good camp.

 

[GreenGorilla]

Dude Rigters gives me Preppy kid that wears Ralph Lauren Polos and boatshoes in his freetime vibes.
But he is also a giant kickboxer funny world.

 

[Iroh]

They should bring me in for the Grand Prix final, I’m ready, I’m sure I would do a better job at reffing than this guy, lol.

They should me bring in to warm up the ring girls.

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Could we see a passing of the torch or does the old lion still eat first...

ITS FINALS TIME BABY!!

 

[Liverkick-king56]

I hope Rico comes out here and storms Levi with authority.... I think the whole kickboxing world knows he's primed to win this if he fights safe since Levi was gassed badly in the 2nd round.

An aggressive Rico would be more of a statement.

I hope you jinx it and Rico loses, I can't stand another year of non activity at HW

 

[Snubnoze707]

Rico probably gonna coast to a decision again making it a pretty bland Grand Prix.

If someone get's a KO then that will help a bit. Otherwise this just doesn't quite have the vibe of old K-1 WGP.

This is either a squash match or a war..I don't think it can be any other way..

 

[helax]

Rico gonna take that leg out.
