Quote[/b] (delawang @ July 11 2004,22:27)]Sefo's record is impressive. He beat Mark Hunt, but has two losses to Hoost. Ernesto is really in a league by himself. Is he well known in Holland?

He is becoming more popular in Holland. About a month ago Hoost was on a Dutch TV-show called 'The Weakest Link', which is a gameshow in which you have to outvote your opponents. Very tough questions, but Hoost won the game! IMO another example that Hoost isn't just one of the best if not the best K-1 fighter of all times, but also a very smart person.

Furthermore Hoost's record speaks for itself:
