Daniel Ghita vs Rico Verhoeven
In GLORY's Last Man Standing competition, a heavyweight title match between two monsters will took place. After being friends and training partners, Daniel Ghita and Rico Verhoeven square off to determine who will hold the heavyweight championship of GLORY.
Ghita and Verhoeven trade hard shots the entire time, albeit perhaps not as frequently as Zambidis and Chadhid.
Jerome Le Banner vs Cyril Abidi
Let's just say that the K1 fight between two heavyweights makes for a pretty harsh kickboxing match.
Mike Zambidis vs Pete Spratt
Whilst I’ve been training martial arts, I’ve watched a lot of Zambidis footage to gain inspiration from his style. Mike Zambidis is probably one of the shortest K1 fighters, the way he cuts down distance and lands thudding right overhands with clean left body shots.
Mike Zambidis is one of the greatest K1 fighters of all time and this fight just sums up why. After taking a beating from Pete Spratt in the first, Mike Zambidis springs back in his typical fashion.
Nieky Holzken vs Joe Valtellini
GLORY 13 did not let us down. Joe Valtellini and Nieky Holzken square off, and both athletes put up a spectacular performance throughout. precise jabs, cunning uppercuts, and liver shots.
Badr Hari vs Errol Zimmerman
How time flies, this bout went ahead in 2008 and it still lives in my head. The more you watch Badr the deeper you get into his technique and just can’t help but watch such a fun fighter.
Badr Hari vs Errol Zimmerman without a doubt makes it to one of the greatest kickboxing fights of all time.
Zambidis vs Chahid
Nonstop action from beginning to end. Wobbles, overhand rights that thud, and body shots that rattled the ribs.
You'll be surprised to learn that this wasn't the night's greatest attraction once you've finished watching. You can show your buddies this fight without worrying that they won't hand it back with a broad grin on their cheeks.
