Badr Hari says GLORY champ Rico Verhoeven ‘is still not in my league,’ eyes summer rematch

We know now that all five ringside judges had former K-1 heavyweight champion Badr Hari up 10-9 following the 1st round of his December GLORY superfight with heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven. That was as far as the judges got though, because halfway through the second round Hari sustained an injury to his right forearm which prevented his continuing.

The injury appeared to occur as the result of a knee strike from Verhoeven during a brief clinch on the ropes and was initially suspected to be a broken ulna bone. It was subsequently determined to be a muscular rupture, and the timeline for recovery is shorter than previously anticipated.
