GLORY 86 betting Odds:

 

[SalvadorAllende]

My birthday.

Will probably be on a small trip because it's a long weekend here.

Maybe I go to my parents in the country and watch the card with my dad.

 

[BoxerMaurits]

First fight announced:

 

[TacticalTijs]

Chikh Mousa is definitely a nice fighter to watch. Will be interesting to see how much progress he can make with Nick Hemmers

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Two more fights got announced



Very nice matchup in the welterweight division, which is a rematch 6 years in the making

 

[TacticalTijs]

Kwasi vs Ciric will be a very interesting fight

 

[Monte Moku]

Card looks good so far! Chikh Mousa is very hittable, but has some solid Boxing when he decides to open up. I don't see him beating Petch, but the matchup will be a fun one nonetheless!

 

[David Street]

My birthday.

Will probably be on a small trip because it's a long weekend here.

Maybe I go to my parents in the country and watch the card with my dad.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

 

[Shadess]

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Very interesting matchup!

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Hopefully Jürjendal puts up a better fight than last time

 

[Nova44]

I love Chick Mooser, but i agree.

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Hamicha makes his return to the GLORY-ring against Sofiane Gelin (at middleweight)

 

[BoxerMaurits]

 

[Siauliai]

Hamicha is an killer anyone who likes K1 should def keep an eye on that guy

 

[TacticalTijs]

The official fight card

 

[BoxerMaurits]

The official fight card

Some very good fights on the card, though I expected some more fights tbh.
There was some talk about another 4-man heavyweight tournament for this card, but after all that’s not happening. GLORY’s last few cards only had like 8 fights or something, hopefully that doesn’t become the new standard

I basically feel like what he said:

 

[Shadess]

Personally I'd add max 1 or 2 more fights. 6-7 fight main card and 3 prelims would be good. Too many promotions have way too long cards IMO.

A single prelim fight is pretty useless tho.

The problem of divisional depth in Glory has been more a result of holding so few events and not the number of fights per card. Think they'll be okay with the relatively small number of divisions they have when running on a monthly schedule again.

 

[BoxerMaurits]

A new development!
So now we’ll also have about 8 MMA-fights to watch during GLORY 86 later this month
