Comments
Peter Aerts... Top 3 all time favorite kickboxers... i thought it was pretty awesome how far he made it in the last gran prix, too bad he had to fight Reem in the finals.
...and 40 + year old aerts had to beat schilt the same night. I'm not sure if overeem would have been able to do so. overeems had his road paved that night...
Hope Showtime will succeed in reviving a great sport currently on life support...I heard they're buying the K-1 brand...
legend of a kick boxer
This may be a MMA site but I hope everyone realises how much of a legend this man is in martial arts, if you don't look it up he truly is one of the best kick boxers ever!
He also has the Couture gene, being able to compete against a top P4P fight at the age of 41.
