GLORY 100 – Event Coverage, Results & Event Videos
By PDG Staff
GLORY 100 took place Saturday, June 14, live from Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The biggest event in kickboxing’s history delivered an incredible night of fighting inside a sold-out Rotterdam Ahoy with over 12,000 fans in attendance.
GLORY heavyweight world champion Rico Verhoeven (66-10, 21 KO) retained his title with an incredibly dominant one-sided performance against former two-time light heavyweight champion Artem Vakhitov (22-7, 8 KO). The ‘King of Kickboxing’ has now extended his unbeaten streak in GLORY to twenty-seven fights with an incredible thirteen title defenses.
Lithuania’s Sergej Maslobojev (42-7, 26 KO) regained the GLORY light heavyweight world title two years after he lost it under controversial circumstances. A stellar performance against Tarik Khbabez (52-12-1, 28 KO) throughout the contest was capped off with a fourth-round finish.
GLORY middleweight world champion Donovan Wisse (23-1, 10 KO) broke Alex Pereira’s middleweight title defense record by narrowly defeating rival Michael Boapeah (21-5-1, 9 KO) by decision. The Surinamese great put his name in the record books with his sixth title defense.
Thailand’s Petch (174-40-3, 27 KO) retained his GLORY featherweight world championship with another dominant performance over Miguel Trindade (62-8, 27 KO). Two early knockdowns allowed the champ fighter to secure a unanimous decision win.
In the Last Heavyweight Standing tournament brackets, four heavyweights booked their tickets for the end of year grand finale in what provided some of the most moments in GLORY history.
Mory Kromah (34-3-1, 20 KO) shocked the world by knocking out fan favourite Bahram Rajabzadeh (72-5, 64 KO) with a flying knee. Tariq Osaro (29-4-1, 16 KO) knocked out his two opponents on the night. Nico ‘Big Sexy’ Horta (26-10, 4 KO) kept his momentum going with two impressive victories. And Anis Bouzid (48-4, 37 KO) continued to impress with back-to-back wins over tough opposition.
In the rest of the card, Berjan Peposhi (31-5, 16 KO) defeated Deniz Demirkapu (14-5, 10 KO) in a real barn burner to be crowned ‘King of Brussels’. Mohamed Touchassie (17-3, 12 KO) and Iuri Fernandes (10-1, 4 KO) both came out victorious in their respective fights.
