K-1 World Grand Prix 2008 Final Results + video

K-1's annual GP finished up last night with some very usual occurrences and some very bizarre ones.

First for the usual: French smashing machine Jerome LeBanner bowed out of the competition due to injury. LeBanner faced Remy Bonjasky in the first round of the tournament and sustained an elbow injury in the bout. LeBanner wanted to continue but ringside doctors stopped the fight. "Always a bridesmaid, never a bride" has been LeBanner's fortune in the K-1 GP. LeBanner is one of the most talented kickboxers in the world but injuries and bad luck have prevented him from winning the GP Final time and time again. The 35-year old LeBanner might be done with K-1 tournaments for good this time.

The bizarre incident came in the finals between Bonjasky and Moroccan fighter Badr Hari. Hari temporarily forgot he was in a kickboxing match in the early second round and when Bonjasky fell to the mat after the two got tangled up, Hari punched his downed opponent and stomped on his head. Bonjasky was unable to continue the bout which resulted in a disqualification against Hari.
