[VinceF]

Today it is fightday!

Really looking forward to the contender tournement! Who do you have reaching the Finals? and who will be come the next contender?

Groenhart vs Benmansour
Kongolo vs Grigorian

I would love to see Groenhart vs Kongolo in the Finals. And a Groenhart vs Holzken rematch.

what i want:Grigorian winning it

what i think:

Benmansour defeat Groenhart by decision,Benmansour is pretty good,and pressure walk foward with good combinations trading left and high kicks fast,it is going to be too much for Groenhart

Kongolo vs Grigorian:This is a good question,i imagine a really slugfest,i pick Grigorian to win,but i wouldnt be surprised if he lost,because these two are going to do a war and who do errors in it is gonna pay hard.

Grigorian vs Benmansour:another big war,but i think Grigorian punch power especially in the cross will be the diference to this fight considering both are going to be exhausted for their hard first matches,Grigorian by KO(right cross) in the second round

I'm hoping for Grigorian, just because he's a BIG puncher who always comes to fight.
I have a feeling that Kongolo is a more complete fighter tho, so that'll be quite a match up.

I've never seen Benmansour fight but everything I've heard about him is good, so there might be a possible "upset" there.
I wouldn't mind a Grigorian vs Groenhart fight in the final, with Grigorian landing a devastating KO on Groenhart to really make clear he's the #1 contender.
Though nights like these with high expectations usually end up in cut stoppages, referee miscalls, trips in the ring where a fighter suddenly dislocates his shoulder(s) .
So I won't be expecting too much just so I can fully enjoy the fights whenever to do end up in the expected wars.

P.S. Grigorian is the ideal opponent for Holzken to make him look good tho, or get surprised with a big shot.
We'll seeeeeee

Would love to see another Groenhart vs Holzken. Groenhart should go for the KO if he wants to win that fight.

I think all 4 are great contenders so this will be a great tournement.

I'm rooting for Grigorian and Benmansour. I'm not a fan of Groenhart or Kongolo and honestly I'm not interested in seeing a rematch just yet. Also, Richard Abraham really should have been in this tournament. He earned his spot by winning the last tournament, but I will admit Benmansour is the superior talent so I'm not complaining.

A little off topic, but Marc de Bonte has been saying he wants to come back to Glory for a few months. Glory needs to call that man. He would be an upgrade to a lot of the guys in the division.
