Rotterdam, Netherlands — The customary tension of fight week reached its peak in Amsterdam today as fighters for GLORY 104 successfully navigated the official weigh-ins. With all primary combatants making weight, the upcoming event at the RTM Stage in Rotterdam is now officially cleared for takeoff. Fans worldwide are primed for a night of high-stakes kickboxing, headlined by a championship clash and a grueling tournament designed to separate the strong from the truly formidable.
The Main Event: A Vacant Crown Awaits a New King
The spotlight shines brightest on the main event, where the vacant GLORY Light Heavyweight World Title hangs in the balance. Former champion Tarik Khbabez (52-12-1, 28 KO), a man whose style is synonymous with relentless aggression and an iron will, is set to face the equally explosive Bahram Rajabzadeh (72-5, 64 KO). Rajabzadeh’s record speaks volumes of his knockout capabilities, promising a dangerous opponent for Khbabez. This isn`t just a fight for a title; it`s a guaranteed collision of two unyielding forces, both known for their forward-marching, knockout-first philosophies. Spectators can expect nothing less than a brutal, high-impact spectacle as these titans vie for the coveted gold.
Brutal Gauntlet: The Last Heavyweight Standing Tournament
Beyond the championship bout, GLORY 104 also hosts the much-anticipated “Last Heavyweight Standing” tournament. This brutal format pits eight heavyweights against each other across two four-man, one-night brackets. It`s a true crucible of combat, demanding not only immense skill but also unparalleled endurance and quick recovery, as potential finalists must compete twice in a single evening. Among the celebrated names entering this gauntlet are Levi Rigters (20-3, 10 KO), Nabil Khachab (30-6-1, 4 KO), Rade Opacic (22-7, 17 KO), and Milos Cvjeticanin (14-4, 9 KO). Each fighter enters with the singular goal of proving they are the toughest and most resilient in a division where one punch can change everything. The tournament offers pure, unadulterated combat sports drama.
Superfight Series: Last-Minute Adjustments and Unfinished Business
The Superfight Series, an integral part of the GLORY 104 lineup, experienced a minor yet typical shake-up. Miguel Trindade unfortunately failed to make weight for his scheduled bout, leading to the cancellation of his fight against Bobo Sacko due to the inability to find a suitable replacement for Sacko on such short notice. However, Trindade remains on the card, now slated to face Halil Kutukcu in a 74 kg catchweight bout. Such last-minute adjustments are a stark, albeit common, reminder of the rigorous demands of professional combat sports. Headlining the Superfight Series is a compelling tournament semi-final between Levi Rigters and Asadulla Nasipov, ensuring the preliminary action sets a high bar for the evening.
