Get the full fight card here for this weekend’s excellent Glory show featuring Rico Verhoeven, a Featherweight title fight, and much more.
This Saturday is the latest from Glory Kickboxing, as they present Glory 41 Holland. Glory is pretty clearly trying something a bit different this time, as it is the Superfight Series portion of the card that is heavily stacked and seems to be the real focus of the event. They’ve also switched the order, with the Superfight Series capping the night.
Headlining that Superfight Series is a non-title fight from Glory Heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven. He faces the debuting Ismael Lazaar – a very good signing for Glory and welcome addition to the division. Also included here is a fight for the vacant Featherweight championship that Robin van Roosmalen lost on the scale in January. He faces Thai fighter Petchpanomrung Kiatmookao, fresh off a tournament win at Glory 39. You’ve also got Murthel Groenhart, Mourad Bouzidi vs. Michael Duut, the debut of Zakaria Zouggary – seriously, it’s a great Superfight Series, and it’s available on Fight Pass, so you really should check it out.
On the Glory 41 portion of the card airing on ESPN3, there is a Heavyweight tournament where Anderson Braddock Silva is the easy favorite. In the main event, Hesdy Gerges and Chi Lewis-Parry attempt to square off once again – their planned Glory 39 fight was cancelled at the last minute due to Lewis-Parry balking at the size of the gloves. Expect some bad blood between these two here.
Glory 41 airs this Saturday, May 20 with a fight time of 1:00 p.m. ET for the Glory 41 card on ESPN3, and 3:30 p.m. ET for the Superfight Series on Fight Pass. Bloody Elbow will have live coverage.
