He was an absolute beast, and one of those guys you'd show people to get them into K-1. Extremely sad news. RIP

Saddens me.
The first K-1 fight I ever saw was Bernardo KOing Aerts. Right afterwards, I remember watching Bernardo's series with Andy Hug, and my love for kickboxing stemmed for that.
Bernardo was never the best but he was definitely great.
