The fighter was convicted on two counts of aggravated assault after one attack at the Amsterdam Arena in 2012 and another in a nightclub owned by businessman Jimmy Woo using a broken glass.
Hari will now fly from his homeland to serve his sentence.
Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is extremely close to Hari and it sparked rumours that they were in a gay relationship.
In October 2015 he took the opportunity to visit Morocco with friends where he and Hari shared pictures of their time together, including the fighter holding up Ronaldo by the pool with the caption: 'Just married. Hahahaha. Always there to pick you up bro'.
Hari is considered one of the best kickboxers in the world - having previously been crowned K1 heavyweight champion (2007-08) and the It's Showtime heavyweight champion (2009-10) - although he has courted controversy for some violent outbursts outside of the ring.
A psychologist reportedly diagnosed him as having 'narcissistic personality traits' during one of his trials in the Netherlands - where he fights out of Mike's Gym in Oostzaan.
