Rico is a beast he showed tremendous heart in his last fight
I was honestly on edge the whole fight. He has the better technical skills all around but he was fighting the Goliath with power. So it was an interesting matchup similar to this weekends ufc card with Ngannou vs Gane.
Absolutely my thoughts as well. Seems like such a nice civil dude when he's not taking guys apart in the ring.
His eye still hasn't healed all the way yet
Great fight!

Super happy that kick boxers are finally breaking into the mainstream
Indeed they are. Rico, Izzy, Gane are just a few great examples.
they have been for years, u are probably 15 though
@@markusdowney5457 Like who? There is no mainstream kickboxer that every casual sports fan would know.
@@mrhockeyfreak2000 badr hari is known worldwide. Him and others like alistair and remy are know to even casuals. Casuals wouldn’t know Schilt, aerts, or ramon sadly.
@@user-tl2cs6wv8b Izzy and Gane are only popular because they're UFC Fighters.
As a Dutchman, i find it hilarious that he introduced himself by saying his own name like an American would do.
VERhoeven instead of verHOEven
Had me laughing too
@@atomicNoodle Yup.
It's kinda what we do right, adjust.
Probably because he is also talking english, not dutch.
Yea I’m a dutchman too
Rico getting some respect out here letting the world know who he is. Is one of the best kickboxers in the world.
Not one of the best, he is the best, Glory World Champion for almost 8 years now !
@@zeffie100 He is not the best lol.
@@baathi7358 He is 8 years World Champion so he is, maybe not the best ever but he is at the moment..
@@baathi7358 he is the best, cry more arab, your arab buddies got demolished by rico.
@@ghostttriddder Arab lmao
If you notice Rico never spoke bad about any of the movie stars. Even though some fights are unrealistic, he shows professionalism and integrity. Respect to this fighter
czcams.com/users/shorts_n8YT-ofQNs?feature=share
That's because he wants to be a movie star very bad. He is making connections for some years now
I noticed. He seems like a true champion. Different mentality.
Rico is one of the most genetically gifted individuals I've ever seen. Terrific fight IQ, super charming, and built like a freight train.
Hope to see more of the King of Kickboxing in the mainstream.
Rico’s comment about being a kid and trying to make the same kung fu movie sound effect with his kicks is every kid that grew up watching martial arts films. I love that he brought that up as it made me laugh so hard!
Watch Jesse-Jane McParland
5:04 I remember trying that kick at school, the garbage can didn't stand a chance 😤
He’s not just a KB champ
He’s the King of KB.
Badr would have you dissagree
@@Cmeonizepik Badr gave up 2 times already, shut up
@@Cmeonizepik But Badr never won..
Nahh he's one of the best but not the best ..roman kryklia would finish him off .
Current king, the real king is Semmy Shield
I think Rico should go into Martial arts acting when he retires, he has the looks and is an accomplished fighter and he shows respect to actors... He would make a good Terminator.
He is actually. He doing some action flick as we speak.
Lol it’s overeem pretending to be white
Channing Tatum Stunt Double.
To the guys not familiar with Rico or kickboxing, watch his highlights
Rico the heavyweight king!
Plaza is coming for that title
@@marast91 nah
@@daredevil2724 yah
@@marast91 Haha, never. He was struggling against Hari, and honestly, I's be surprised if he wins again.
@@djoetma lmao a casual
This man is incredible im a kickboxing fan and to see him go mainstream like this is amazing. Bravo Rico 💯.
He seems like a real nice Person with good sense of humor.

The champion is humble.
I think the title should read THE kickboxing champion 🤔 Rico is a legend.
it always astounds me how high level dutch peoples english is. also, rico is the man
It’s because our environment forces us to know do it. Unlike for example Germany, France and Spain, we don’t see everything in our own language. For example video games, there was never a “Dutch” option to play the game in or follow the storyline. So we always (by default) had to choose English to play the game and understand what it’s about. The same with movies, the other countries speak the movies in (dub) with their own language, but we watch it in English with subtitles. It’s mainly because Dutch is a very “serious” “business” language😂 nothing sounds really exciting or thrilling when you hear Dutch in action movies, that’s why they leave it the way it is (English sound) and just use subtitles.
This guy looks like he could be cast for The Punisher
Keep em coming gq. I love these break downs.
Rico is a kickboxing monster. More people should know of him, respect for GQ for bringing such a high caliber fighter.
Rico does make holland proud. A heavyweight champion who defended his belt like 9 times and won glory kickboxing tournament. People gonna hate on him but he is really a gentle giant who achieved so much in kickboxing. Rico is truly already a legend. Dankje voor je gevechten maat
Nothing but respect Rico. You are a great champion.
"it's bad to the opponent so....use it." LOL

Rico is a beast in the ring, and seems like a genuine good dude
The prince of kickboxing who eventually became the king and he is as humble and charismatic as they come; truly a martial arts legend.
Rico is an amazing champion . Outside the ring he is also the nicest dude out there . Could be a true role model for new generations .
Not the nicest, Wonderboy exists, but definitely one of them. Cool dude.
Great seeing you Rico
Rico was always a really down-to-earth and likeable guy. Deserved one of the greatest in martial arts
Glad the champ getting these opportunities! Awesome job too
@gq just a suggestion - having the fighters demonstrate some of the techniques in the studio would be a really fun way to get the audience engaged with just how good somebody like Rico is. Fun series either way!
The video is great. Thank you so much for having such a good video. I hope you make more good videos.
Good to see him on here.
Trots op deze man
Rico living legend and a top bloke.
Rico is the king of kickboxing right now
2:10 very well put. That active martial arts style blocking like that looks great, but against a seasoned opponent those kind of big active actions to meet an attack leave you open a lot more than a modern kickboxing/MMA shell defense. Rico def has decent insights here. 👍
The king of kickboxing
The best heavyweight kickboxer on the planet🙏
Rico is an absolute BOSS!!
wow. rico. i love this

Rico 🔥🔥🔥
It's so funny to hear him pronounce his name in english even though it's dutch 😆
I wish you guys used Neverbackdown scenes they're pretty realistic and dope
czcams.com/users/shorts_n8YT-ofQNs?feature=share
Never Back Down 2 had some great fight scenes even though it was a crap movie overall.
The double kicks if u snap em still harder than a punch if u can pull it off it works my brother loves it
It's a pity that he didn't break down the Undisputed series and Raid movies
Rico vs Overeem is gonna be 🔥 🔥
I think it is going to be plazibat, maybe a tournament
The King himself
How can anyone dislike Rico?
Such a great and humble champion.
that Has to be one of the most powerful last names I’ve ever heard
Rico is such a cool guy man!!
Bro literally looks like the chad meme.
0:37 he's talking about the style he's been taught and trained in that's exactly why the moves looks more familiar to him more than anything else is guess
RICOOOOOOO!!!

Let's get this video a million views
This was fun to watch
czcams.com/users/shorts_n8YT-ofQNs?feature=share
After studying Ki-Aikido for many years, the fight starts and ends within the first ten seconds. Movies make it seem more exciting
Wasn't Bruce using Aikido a couple of times in that scene? He didn't move except to redirect the attacker
lol "Aikido" so not actually anything worth while?
I like that appreciates that movies need to "look cool" as well
We need Rico in the UFC
This is already one of the breakdowns because Rico (obviously) actually knows what he's talking about.
The Moroccan Dutch fighter with one eye is Faldir Chahbari 🇲🇦🇳🇱🥊 Nice show and interview
🇳🇱*
Keep it up champ! Proud to be dutch! You should do something like this together with Bas Rutten!

@@fightsportnews4329 awesome my bad!!
Mad lads queue'd the sparta kick for him lol
Rico is the F'n Man
Rico is the boss!!!

Ciril gane would’ve fought him if he wouldn’t have gone to the ufc would’ve loved it
Gane is such a class act as well, a real " Bon Gamin". Love his attitude.
shame that none of the K-1 guys back in the day, who were better fighters, got the same publicity in the west as rico does now. props to rico for being a great image to market
Rico is onze Kampioen!
Rico champ
This is funny. I was just watching a video where a Shaolin monk in a temple had been repeatedly hitting a piece of iron against his head for years. The goal was to overcome pain. That scene in the movie where someone kicks a concrete wall seems very realistic with that insight.
Those kind of fighters do it for years and cause micro fractures which heal over time and as it heals it makes your legs like steel
3:38 subtitles say Tom Paul LMAO its TongPo
Winna palm tree 🌴 🤣🙈👌🏻
The Netherlands Goku!!
Super Saiyan Rico!
Haha his accent is so Dutch, I love it
Thanks to ip man
Has this guy never heard of Bill Wallace, who did multiple kicks off the same chamber?
Savate in general.
I lost count of the number of times he says 'like' in this recording after, like, 30.
Kickboxing champion
Rico Verhoeven is a Boss .Bang bang bang ✨✨✨✨✨✨ and you going to sleep
The president of kickboxing...something like that
Dutch finest!!
Rico looks massive
To this day I use the Sparta kick to train my clients out of using the heel and into using the ball of their foot for front kicks:
"'THIS IS SPARTA!' works on doors not so much on people. make your foot a spear not a piston."
sidekicks however...
Watching the footage now, I realize that Gerard Butler actually does seem to use the ball of his foot to make contact, but no one seems to remember it that way.
GOAT
Back in the day, Thai nak muays used to stand up and kick for kick, to the body. I'm assuming it was something to do with the bookies because everything in stadium muay Thai is for the bookies
Tiffany van Soest was kicking poor palm trees in Indonesia..
That's curious that as a kickboxer he first thought that kicking 3 times is unrealistic. I did kickboxing for 10 years and we practiced that a lot. It was even a requirement in belt graduation exams...
Yeah okay, but you wont really see it in a professional fight - at least its not super effective in order to inflict damage.
@@F10cke The fact that you don't use it doesn't mean that you can't do it. What is weird is that he mentions that those moves are possible because his father was able to do that, when in kickboxing those things are normal (regardless of whether you use them) and he should've seen them all the time.
Belts in kickboxing? 🤣🤣 you went to a Mcdojo lol
Gi can make tha sound as well.. 🔥TOKAIDO GI Crispy sound. 🤓✌
I'm still confused on how this genetic specimen is still only a kickboxing champion. Hopefully he's at least compensated well and has made at least 1 or 2 million.
Hay
There is a video of a girl, that kicked a metal pole until it made a dent.
She is on CZcams. The name of the video is "Build Harder Shin Bone Part 1"

the first one is a taekwondo move
I used a iron bar to roll over my shins back in the day, putting pressure on it until it hurts (rolling on 3 different angles on my shins) , every day for as long as i could bare, i remember kicking lampposts (not full force of course, maybe 25%) with my shins, the roll with the iron bar really helpt me a lot, aspecially with sparring blocking lowkicks shin on shin...
Of course i mean a iron/steel pipe..
Its Tong Po not Tom Paul
I really like the Bourne Identity, but the fighting is absolute BS. They cut everything and almost every move was probably shot separately. If Damon was unable to do it, they should've come up with a different style. In my opinion.
Sent schilt used those blocks...

Dude, the first movie is not about realism. It's the matrix after all.
