'Big Mike' Passenier says Badr Hari will 'whip Verhoeven's ass' at GLORY: COLLISION to regain 'the top spot' in kickboxing

There is a stigma attached to Badr Hari that isn't going away any time soon. Such is the case when you are a fighter who has been linked to trouble both inside the ring and out of it ,and you are also pals with the Chechnya president, Ramzan Kadyrov.

Hari, 31, long known as the "Bad Boy" of kickboxing, has been disqualified on two separate occasions. One, for kicking a downed Remy Bonjasky in K-1 back in 2008. The other for kicking a downed Hesdy Gerges in It's Showtime in 2010. Throw in the various legal troubles he's been involved in, including multiple arrests, assault charges, a few jail sentences, and the picture is very clear: Hari has done some bad things and been in quite a bit of trouble in his time.
