Glory 32: Varga vs Adamchuk

[VinceF]

Glory 32 is right around the corner with a nice main event. Who is going to take it?

Varga vs Adamchuck for the FW title.

I'm very impressed with Adamchuk the last couple of fights. So I would say he takes this rematch as well.

As for glory they really need to bring more names into this devision. I mean 70% of the top of this division is not in glory.

Ps. Good to see zhuravlev in glory great addition. He should win the tournement.

Not trying to be a downer but it's one of the weakest cards they've done in recent memory. Varga/Adamchuk is the only interesting fight on there.

fw title figths are always on the worst cards.

I agree, and this seems the only FW fight glory has on their roster. Never the less looking forward to that main event who do you got?

 

[DastardlyMass]

why the hell does varga get an automatic rematch when he didnt do shit in the last fight? Cor has lost his damn mind and gives guys rematches when no one liked the first fight and definitely does not want to watch a rematch but when there is a disputed decision and everyone wants a rematch they force they guys into contender tournaments. everything glory does is completely devoid of any logic. The biggest name on this entire card is anderson braddokk silva so if anyone ever claims they are still the premier organization they are batshit insane

I'd argue that Adamchuk is a big name or at least on his way. Zhuravlev has been around for awhile and is a good signing for Glory. Lewis Perry and Chikadze are also entertaining fighters.

American cards are always weak. I like Collette, but he shouldn't be on the main card of a Glory event. Mancha shouldn't be on a Glory card period. Collette and Mancha shared a Legacy Kickboxing card before that experiment failed, which isn't a good sign.

I agree that their should have been a featherweight tournament, but the division is so weak a tournament probably wasn't too appealing to Glory. They really need to work on their featherweight and middleweight divisions.

I'm not excited for this event, but I'll watch it.

finally they contracted Zhuravlev,he is one of my fav LHW-HW kickboxers active.

would be cool a rematch with Gohkan saki(He defeated Saki by ud in 2009 K-1 Seul),he could rematch with Saulo Cavalari(he defeated him in 2012 at k-1 HW gp card)..

Zhuravlev is by far the best kickboxer on this 4 man contender LHW tournament,the brazilian who is facing him in semi final(Ariel Machado),already competed on WGP,he isnt at Zhuravlev level and will problably be TKOed by Hooks but he have some right mid-high kicks and knees but wouldnt be enough to face Zhuravlev,he is also MMA fighter with 7-3 record(all victories by KO and all losses by SUB)

I think a fight between Zhuravlev and Vakhitov for the LHW title will be one of the best fights of the year

Adamchek still hasn't beaten a top 5 featherweight and will probably never get the chance to in glory. the main event of this show is determining the number 5 or 6 ranked featherweight not the world champion

Pretty much nothing there to get excited about. Hopefully it delivers some KO finishes that will be this cards only saving grace if it plays out like that...

28-2 vs 0-1 ...really?

Not caught up on the women's kickfighting scene, but looks like some Bellator level matchmaking here.

TUF 23's Dennis faces Brian "the Lion" Collette at Glory 32. Its a US card all right. You can really feel the pain of the guys who have to hype this card.

 

[moxsii]

Zhuravlev's list of wins is impressive and includes Gokhan Saki, Benjamin Adegbuyi, Freddy Kemayao, Sahak Parparyan, Brian Douwes and former GLORY light-heavyweight champion Saulo Cavalari. He rides a seven-fight win streak into GLORY 32 and is 9-1 in his last ten outings, the loss being in a heavyweight rematch with Adegbuyi (they are now 1-1).

As for de Waele, she'll be fighting in the tournament reserve match so maybe Alkayis' record isn't an indication of talent or de Waele could have a lot of amateur fights. Since I haven't seen either fight, I can't say for sure. It does look one-sided due to records though.

From YouTube it looked liked she has a a few fights. Think there's more to her record than that. The other girl looks like she's had hundreds of amateur fights in lots of different disciplines

Worth watching for Zhuravlev alone. Too bad he isn't fighting Cavalari due to visa issues but still Zhuravlev!

The female tournament if pretty w/e in general.

wow! Zhuravlev! too bad he is facing opponents of lower quality than he faced in ffc. Not to mention he is fighting in america under an athletic commission so he needs to be praying they do not test him for peds as the guy went from a normal body to looking like connan the barbarian while fighting in europe

A new fight added to this card is shaking kickboxing world and promisse to change the p4p rankings for a long time,the kind of fight that demand a entire Joe roegan podcast dedicated to talk about this incredible phenomenon and Vinny Shoreman full narration in dual audio HD to it.

yeah guys,i cant stop you to celebrate and screaming through the house how magnificent is the possibility of being alive to see this fight

US Armed Forces Cedric Smith(Airforce) vs. Roger Corbin(Navy)->GLORY-MOTHER-FUCKING-CHAMPIONSHIP-MILITARY-BELT ON THE LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Chakuriki,Hemmers and Mejiro gyms are competing to bring these world class talent guys for them with all the judicial weapons you can use in a court

 

[Karaev fan]

Here we go. NOW its a good old fashioned Glory US card. Just like 1st half of 2015.

 

[Snubnoze707]

Wait but I thought it was Spike making these fights, not Glory!?

@jj manchester explain this...

Explain!

 

[moxsii]

Americans love their service men and women. Glory is probably just trying to appeal to American viewers and the crowd. It's not like any fights were dropped so I don't see what the big deal is.
