Completely unexpected, damn. This is interesting! Idk any of these names so far (except Vidales of course) but I am very curious to see what they can do; gonna have some fun trying to research them. Highlighting these lesser known areas for Kickboxing will hopefully pay off and help the grow the sport

 

[Snubnoze707]

Love it. I hope they keep these going and move all around to different regions. Great way to find new talent.

Ivan Galaz fought a few times in GLORY. He also does MMA.
Here’s his fight against Matt Baker at GLORY 68




He also fought Cesar Almeida two times in WGP, most recently last September.
Here’s their fight from 3 years ago

Maybe worth a visit if they put on a good card? Is Tulum far away from where you live? @Snubnoze707

Damn that’s a long way.
Mexico sounds so close to America, but in reality that’s a by far longer distance than I’ve ever travelled inside Europe lol

Ya just California alone would span many countries in Europe. This is at the way bottom end of Mexico too, while I'm in Northern California. Would be a quick flight from Florida though.

It's "WON" not "ONE".

You should be excited that Glory is scouting future stars in Mexico - a region not really tapped into.

Imagine not being able to read a three-letter word.
