From the K-1 website: K-1 OFFICIAL WEB SITE


Badr Hari (loser)
Q: The K-1 fighters haven't done well tonight. What do you think about that?
A: A fighter is a fighter. I don't see it as MMA vs. K-1, I just see it as one fighter against another fighter. Today was their lucky day and I don't think it says that MMA is stronger than K-1.

Q: Why do you think you lost today?
A: I was in a big tournament just a few weeks ago so it is very difficult to stay focused. I took this fight because I like fighting, but it was too difficult to stay focused in such a short period of time. That's why I don't think I'll be fighting in the Dynamite show any more [because I plan to be in the K-1 tournament final again next year].

Q: Overeem talked about the MMA rules fight that you two are supposed to have eventually.
A: There won't be an MMA fight in the near future. I'm a stand-up fighter and that's what I do. I'll be focusing on stand-up.


Alistair Overeem (Winner)
Q: Your thoughts about the fight?
A: Badr Hari challenged me and we agreed to two fights: one with K-1 rules and one with MMA. This was the K-1 fight.

Q: Your thoughts about your opponent?
A: He's a great athlete, but he has no respect. No respect for fighters, for other people, and especially for DREAM fighters. I think that's not good. That's why I don't like him.

Q: You were fighting in the less-familiar K-1 ring and you won. Is it even worth it to fight Badr Hari in DREAM rules?
A: My management and FEG both agreed on it, and he challenged me. A deal is deal.

Q: Do you have a message for Badr Hari?
A: Let's just see if he shows up for the DREAM fight.

Q: Any comment on Mirko's 6-month leave of absence for recovery from his upcoming surgery?
A: I wish him the best of luck in his recovery. It's unfortunate that I won't be able to fight him, but it's not a priority. I wan't to fight the current K-1 champion, Remy Bonjasky.

Q: in K-1 or MMA rules?
A: Of course, K-1 rules. When I challenge someone I fight their rules. It's meaningless to do otherwise.

Q: Anyone you want to fight in MMA?
A: Fedor Emelianenko.

Considering how according to Badr Hari MMA fighters are pussies who like hugging. And considering how one of those pussies got into the ring with him and trashed him on his own turf. This is yet just another display of Badr Hari's lack of proffesionalism and sportsmanship. Too bad. I would have liked to see the Demolition Man tear him apart on MMA rules. Maybe take one of his arms back home as a souvenir.

#1 Badr Hari is an a$$

#2 I love to watch the guy fight. Win or lose, every fight is a high-light.

Most definatly.

I prefer the latter. Since I can't stand him I'm always rooting for the other guy. Even if it's Hong Man Choi.

Overeem murdered this terrorist.
