Well im Making a list of the fighters who could be good additions to glory divisions and make things better for the competition inside the organization

I will be only suggesting possible hirings (IMHO)

guys in similar situations of Samedov,Mezouari,Gerasimchuk,Noiri and Buakaw are obviously almost impossible to get for a bunch of obvious reasons

all being said,here we go.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FW:









-----------------------------------------------------------------
LW:

- Masoud Minaei (fights everywhere in china so he can be introduced in a future glory card. well known from chinese public, cool to watch)

- Vladislav Tuinov (since this year he started to fight everywhere, noy only limited to W5. Kid is a good prospect and cool to watch)

- Youssef Boughanem (not sure if he can do LW anymore but he would be a cool addition,fights everywhere in france and is pretty popular there,one of the best on western MT and surely the best at 72 KG

----------------------------------------------------------------
WW:

- Vedat Hoduk (Turkish guy who fights on French headline events as A-1 and Partouche, he is good and was only behind Doumbe in the national scene)


-------------------------------------------------------

MW:

- Alexander Oleinik (really underrated KOK MW who had solid victories in the past like Shakuta,Stetsurenko,Konning,Tutu,Sem Braan)

- César Almeida (talented MW,only behind Pereira in south america)
-----------------------------------------------------

LHW:

-Ibrahim el Bouni (Fights everywhere, brawler who bring KO´s, favorite material)

-Igor Bugaenko ( top level LHW who also fights everywhere)

- Dzianis Hancharonak (gifted fighter with a extensive amateur career,fought some good names and is out of radar for a while)

- Stephane Susperregui (deserves another chance in glory)

---------------------------------------------------

HW:

-Tsotne Rogava: Good prospect, wouldnt be easy to bring him but he could be introduced in a Glory chinese event,dude is like a Gogokhia of HW division,pure entertainment

- Julius Mocka (really underrated HW who used to fight only in KOK,seems to be more open to fight in other orgs now)

- Rade Opacic (young giant prospect who is starting to expose himself more for a international career)

- Sergej Maslobojev (another good KOK HW who is more open to do it)


----------------------------------------------


i only can remind these few names,its pretty hard to find out available FW´s and LW´s to fight for glory,at least with some regularity

every good one is strong with K-1 and Kunlun


any additions?

What about Ilias Bulaid and Kaew Weerasakreck (ignore the wrong spelling of his name).

Bulaid is pretty strong with Enfusion, K-1 and now Kunlun while Kaew is with K-1


pretty much impossible to have them fighting on glory ,especially kaew
 
Rogava improved that much? In Superkombat he looked to be a jobber but yet again he was young. Still, I think Khbabez or Diniz would beat him. Anyway, Maslobojev is solid but against non-class opposition. He clearly deserves a chance than some others, but I know 5-10 better LHW that should be in Glory.

Best possible acquisition now is in my yes Vlad Tuinov. I already risked my card on Sittichai and some people didn"t listen to me, then he went to make career in Glory (champion).

Talking about Superkombat, because they already offered the most guys to Glory:

* Amansio Paraschiv (MW)
* Cristian Spetcu (LW)
* Daniel Stefanovski (LHW)
* Antonio Plazibat (LHW)

Adelin Mihăilă is probably not ready yet, but is an impressive talent.

Also their former champion Cedric Manhoef (MW), now fighting in China against biggest names of Thailand. I guess they can still snatch him through Surinamese coaches of the Netherlands. Plus Traore brothers (LHWs) of Superkombat, unfortunately they didn"t get more chances to prove themselves as champions. Very talented, of Germany.

If you ask me, these. If you say the Chinese scene is not affordable.

Bugaenko, yes, El Bouni yes. Stoica brothers are also available. Samedov, Kwasi, Tavares, why not. Happy they brought Nabiev, we will see his talent now.

Instead of Rogava, the SK HW champion Khbabez. He also beat Kryklia at Superkombat finals. And your Brazilian Diniz was also strong with ACB. He is better than he was previously in Glory. Some others are laughable, they could fail like Mozny. You also thought Mozny is something when I told you he is untested and he fought in local promotion where had full support. But I am not the specialist, the expert and I don"t want to stop their careers. I don"t know Opacic, but let him fight first in largest promotions. About KOK, we all know how unserious they are. Moldovan promotion.. :) There is no event with non-corrupt decisions!

Wait I also forgot Vlad Tuinov. Mofo is a beast and defeated Massaro Glunder with ease.

He talks about fighters outside China. It"s harder and harder to bring from China or Japan because they kinda have exclusive contracts now.

Wait I also forgot Vlad Tuinov. Mofo is a beast and defeated Massaro Glunder with ease.

Glunder is overrated as fuck, I warned about this until to be defeated 4 times in a row. Tuinov is a bit untested but his level is too big to fail. I can"t say he is the new Sittichai but I recommend to any top promotion to sign him up.

I will insist to see him in Superkombat in 2018.
 
You shouldn"t insist too much with KOK, Mafanofe, they are really mediocre and corrupt promotion, I can tell you from Europe. Tsutsu got knocked out by El Bouni and that time he really had problems to impose himself in Superkombat. I really thought he is second to third tier. Redouan Cairo deserved a lot, but I feel he got older.

I don"t want to judge your list, because I don"t like to stop careers. But I can comment now how Mozny or Voroski did nothing. And KOK is exactly the same type as local Czech/Slovak promotions.

Of course, it was also proved that Bugaenko had some quality and in best days he can threaten guys. But he entered top 10.

Otherwise, I don"t like fighters that can"t knock out bums. Regarding Vorosk, he is probably at the level of Konning. :) But KOK owners are desilusional. They could bring more names from Russia/Belarus if they really want level. Not to back corrupt decisions in Baltic states and Moldova. Of course they"re developing kickboxing there, but the corruption is simply high. I can name 10 Romanian bums that put them problems and got robbed. The only name in KOK is Maslobojev. He isn"t as big as some people think, mainly because he"s protected. He got exposed by many but I feel he is over Tsutsu as product. And I really supported Tsutsu because he is Romanian (Moldovan). He has qualities but probably will not do well in Glory if he will feed him to the sharks.

Do you see what is Cor Hemmers doing with his protegees? Belgaroui or others didn"t get huge names first. Maximum solid.

If you fed one champion with a talent, bring the talent back to get another chance.
 
Tuinov would be good for anyone to sign. Glory might not have a weight class for him though. Not sure when he's last fought at 70kg, can he/does he want to make that again? Going up 77kg then would be a bit of a jump to make for a young guy.

Samedov would be okay I guess but dude has the most managed career of all. Doesn't fight guys at their peak. Skinny Badr, post injury out of shape Zimmerman, injured Morosanu etc. Would probably have to face real competition in Glory and on fair terms instead of having a "friendly" promotion and matchmaking behind him.

China-wise Yang Zhuo seems to be free to fight where he pleases. Deng Zeqi, Tie Yinghua and QJL somewhat rumoured to be at/around the ends of their contracts so any of them would be a get for Glory. +They need a China name and they have none. Probably wouldn't count on getting much Sanda names going forward even though they at least seemed to think so.

Allazov, Kryklia, Gerasimchuk, Maslobojev, Rukiya...

Spetcu would be good but he already seems to be a name on K-1 62,5 division

didnt knew that WLF-GoH wasnt going to keep them forever, so they would be good too

Samedov i actually dont belive,last 4 years of his career he spent fighting for Kadyrov and dead promotions (legend,GFC), he is full on cherry picking taking good names who are past primed by a half of decade)

it is funny that 90% of the big names at LW and FW are fighting basically on Kunlun or Japan

There are good HW´s spread in like 10 organizations as MW´s too

the WW´s are historically a division of fighters who fights on ISKA,WAKO and these other old orgs.
 
Don't think they're slaves or anything :) They've already lost Yang Zhuo and Gong Yanli of their bigger names somewhat recently. GoH is in a weird spot, supposed to be better for them next year but who knows. They do have money though and doubt they want to let much more names go specially if they're actually doing better things next year.
 
I was hoping that with Kaew losing the title to Noiri K-1 might not be as inclined to pay him enough to guarantee he stays with them. My dream fight would be Kaew vs Petpanomrung. Maybe they could get a deal for a one-off fight when Glory has its first event in Thailand. Probably not but a man can dream.
 
Tenshin nasukawa, takeru, and Wei rui. I don't mind seeing buakaw is glory but I rather see him in lion fights so he can throw his elbows.
 
Wei Rui is absolutely great but he is in K-1. He referred to those that can be easily brought.
 
Including realistic and unrealistic fighters for the future whenever their contracts with other promotions finish.

FW: Qiu Jianliang, Wei Rui, Kaew Fairtex, Rittewada

LW: Chingiz Allazov, Superbon Banchmek, Giorgio Petrosyan, Mohamed Mezouari

WW: Artur Kyshenko

MW: Tank Shenshen


See how Yodwicha does against Petrosyan in Bellator. After his contract finishes (if he's on a contract) that could be another fighter Glory sign. I've always wanted to see a Thai KO artist in Glory. Unfortunately Yodsanklai retired due to injury and the other Thai's in kb today are not big KO guys. Yodwicha has been getting a lot of KO's recently and has shown impressive power but he needs to get comfortable under kb rules. If he does then he could be a monster.
 
Tenshin nasukawa, takeru, and Wei rui. I don't mind seeing buakaw is glory but I rather see him in lion fights so he can throw his elbows.
Takeru and Tenshin are too small for Glory. Would be nice of Glory did a fusion with K-1 though.
