This is off-topic, but I am dying to know -- how do you pronounce your username?

Pihpihlikah, the accent falls on "kah".

Yes, I know, it sounds a little like Pippi Långstrump.

I finally know, thank you. I will sleep well tonight

Broadcast.

They should consider NZ rising star 'Titus Proctor', he's unstoppable and it's only a matter of time before the big orgs recognize him

After proposing Sitthichai, I now propose Daniel Franklin Rodriguez and Thoeun Theara. To Glory.

I already see them as the successors of the Thai, and Rodriguez is very tall, he can easily fight at 77. As for the national symbol of Kun Khmer, in Cambodia, he already fights at 72. Both have the allure of superstars.

They will have to make transitions to make good money, but Sitthichai did it too.

Matchmakers, if you don't hurry now, maybe they'll sign with the rival promotion.

GLORY should sign 23-years-old Iuri Fernandes.

Last weekend, he secured a decision win over Romanian veteran Bogdan Stoica in DFS:






A few months ago, the Cape Verdean-Portuguese prospect also defeated Valeriy Bizyaev (who holds a KO win over Ariel Machado) in Ural FC:






With a record of 10-1 (4 KO/TKO), Fernandes is definitely a rising Light-Heavyweight to keep an eye on.

So GLORY signed Iuri Fernandes after he defeated Zinedine Hameur-Lain in the first round, last week.

To make his debut at Day One of GLORY 100 in the Tournament reserve bout:

By the way, where has Roël Mannaart been hanging out the last three years? He didn’t fight since his TKO loss against Sergej Maslobojev in 2020. The future looked bright for him with a record of 26-3 at the age of 26 being a K1 heavyweight champion fighting his way up in GLORY.

Roël Mannaart, who holds notable victories over GLORY Heavyweight title-challenger Levi Rigters, Antonio Plazibat, Nico ‘Big Sexy’ Horta, and Kirill Kornilov, will return to action for the first time in over five years (his last fight being the loss to Sergej Maslobojev where he suffered a broken jaw).

He’ll defend his K-1 Heavyweight Championship (which he won by defeating Plazibat in 2018) against K-Jee at K-1 Dontaku in Fukuoka, Japan on July 13:




The 31-year-old Roël, son of André Mannaart, holds a Kickboxing record of 26-3 (13 KO/TKO).
He appears to have joined Maik Polanen’s ARJ Gym for his comeback:

It still surprises me that Glory managed to survive after all these years.

I'd rather see Glory gets absorb by K-1.

What do you mean? The last two GLORY years have been superb. K-1 is just a tier 2 promotion now, it's more regional than elite. Kikuta tricked us.

 

[Shadess]

K-1 is a mess. They can't figure out their broadcast situation outside Japan at all. They can't hang on to their Japanese talent. Nor would they have the kind of money to keep higher level Euro talent fighting.

[Loriquero]

Alexis Nicolas, Liu Ce, Menshikov, Allazov if he decides to go to 77kg, Machado.

Good shout. Hopefully they’ll sign em all!
