Semmy Schilt won the tournament in record breaking time

Fight library is a new feature showing some of the best fights from boxing, MMA and even a few K-1 events as well. The fight below was the a semi final bout between current StrikeForce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem and rising K-1 star Badr Hari.

In his younger days, Overeem seemed to have a very fluid kick boxing style more akin to Muay Thai. These days the hulking Overeem looks too big and slow to do much except rag-doll his opponents around if they get too close. In this fight Overeem probably suffered from the tournament format as well, meaning he had to fight potentially three times in one night. Clearly after beating Ewerton Teixeira in the quarter finals, the increasingly bulky Overeem was looking tired against Hari.
