Alistair Overeem had a successful return to the world of kickboxing when he took out Badr Hari in their trilogy bout.
Long before Overeem was fighting for UFC gold, he was a decorated kickboxing champion, winning two K-1 World Grand Prix titles. One of the most notable parts of his initial kickboxing run came from his rivalry with Hari, with each man holding knockout wins over the other at various points in their careers.

The fight started off at a steady pace, and with open scoring in effect, Overeem could see that Hari was up two rounds, and he needed something big. Sure enough, he delivered by scoring two huge knockdowns in the third, creating a big enough lead to secure the win.

“That was so damn impressive. Hari’s at the end of his run, sure, but The Reem just waltzed in here at age 42, after 12 years away from high-level kickboxing, and pulled off one hell of a comeback after dropping the opening two rounds. The all-time great still getting it done,” Shaun Al-Shatti wrote on Twitter.

This was certainly a feel-good moment for Alistair Overeem, even if it left Badr Hari considering retirement. Not to mention the fact that the third round delivered on the fight, showing that the Dutch combat sports legend still has a little bit left in the tank.
