Khbabez been a pretty good company man in Glory, but this is rewarding him for that being stretched quite far lol

A rematch of their Enfusion title-fight about 2 years ago. Very interesting fight, I wonder how it plays out now



There’re already 4 title-fights on Collision 5, nice

Might be the best Glory card ever. However, I think Maslobojev deserved a rematch against Abena...
And as much as I like Tarik, he only won against some relatively unknown mma fighter who stepped in on late notice (in LHW)...

It seems an interesting card. After a while I will probably pay for the PP. The last cards were not so great imo but this one seems interesting. I am glad that Gafencu will finally enter the Glory ring. I haven`t heard from him for a while. He was focusing on fighting in the local DFS gala in Romania probably. As I sad in earlier posts, I like his dynamic style and I hope that he will make a good debut in Glory. He was one of the few romanian fighters who managed to defeat duch opponents from DFS ( which means..not top fighters).

Yeah the LHW-division was on it’s all-time thin imo. Sure, it’s getting better with HW’s dropping down and new guys getting signed (so Robbie Timmers is doing a good job), but there’s no clear #1 contender (outside of Maslobojev ofcourse, I would’ve preferred that rematch too logical wise, though Donegi vs Tarik is a very good fight). Even Abena’s titleshot was literally warranted on a single win over Micheletti after going on a big losing streak against the likes of Pereira (who flatlined him, though Abena was just a kid back then).
Sure, he fought a murderers-row prior to the Micheletti fight, with very close fights against Vakhitov and Maslobojev, and he arguably got robbed against Tavares, but as far as records and rankings are concerned, a loss is a loss.

As a fan of Melvin Manhoef, I really don't think he should still be fighting, let alone versus Gökhan Saki.

Oh no I thought he retired...

but some of these dutch guys never really do.

 

[HHJ]

It's a lot worse for Manhoef though, he's 46 and has been finished several times in the last few years. Saki is 7 years younger, quite a lot bigger and just a bad match-up in kickboxing rules with boxing gloves.

Yeah his chin was already gone like 10 yrs ago or more

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Abena pulled out of the title-fight..

 

[Nai Khanom Tom]

Abena pulled out of the title-fight..

Just seen it now. I feel for Tarik!

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Mohamed Amine told us he’s ready to step in on short notuce

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Momine vs the Tank is a done deal, for the interim belt
