Badr Hari v. Igor Kirsis (MMA) Fight Video

Here's a fight that gets talked about from time to time but is not much seen.  Badr Hari v. Igor Kirsis in Hari's lone venture into the world of MMA.  This is from a Shooto Holland card in May 2002.  Amazingly, Badr is just 17 years old here, and does he ever look it.  Hari has been very vocal about his dislike for competing in MMA, and, well, here's why...

I think my favorite part of this is Hari's look of disgust and irritation when he gets up, as if to say "screw this." 

Though it's unclear from this angle, the official ruling was submission due to a forearm choke.  If you're not a big MMA viewer, a forearm choke is basically just pushing your forearm down against your opponent's throat.  It surely hurts, but is a pretty basic move and not one you expect to get the tap out.  For what it's worth, fellow K-1 star Branco Cikatic also tapped to a forearm choke in MMA, showing that, while both men are kickboxing giants, neither really belongs in an MMA setting.
