Rico Verhoeven ‘did what I had to do’ against Badr Hari

By most accounts, the much-anticipated Glory matchup between heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven and longtime star Badr Hari finished with a letdown, as a broken arm suffered by Hari brought the clash in Oberhausen, Germany, to a premature conclusion.

But Verhoeven doesn’t see it that way. Appearing on a recent edition of the MMA Hour, the Dutch standout believes that his 50th career kickboxing victory went exactly as it should have.

“I’m happy with the result because I did what I had to do,” Verhoeven said. “I came in to demolish him every way possible and we started out with taking out that right hand and it worked so in the end, I’m happy.
