Glory says they are going to host the most events ever this year but I think more they mean tournaments you already have hw tournaments scheduled until the end of 2025 and 12man glory and 12 man rise featherwight tournament is already there too it would be totally nice if they give those middleweigt and welterweigt that tournament as well
What did you guys think of the 'Last Man Standing' draw? Not all at once 😂😂😂😂
What did you think of it yourself?
1. The bingo balls machine was quite dated, at first I thought I was watching an online elderly bingo in the Corona era.
2. The approach of holding this via Zoom, where many a fighter just didn't have a picture can't really be done. Just mandatory camera on and perhaps use a background provided by Glory to promote the organization. Jamal, I believe, was sitting in the restaurant at Zoom where he ate with the group yesterday. Jürjendal was sitting in his hotel room, and that Ukrainian seemed to be taking a break and then continuing to fight the Russians.
3. They could have been a little more creative/interactive with the background by putting the matched fighters in their own bracket during the broadcast so you wouldn't have had to watch the entire draw back to see who was matched. Despite that it was an improvement over "I choose the strongest opponent, Laïdouni" draw and which also immediately fixed the outcome of the tournament.
Yes it looked amateurish. They could have done a little more promotion. The funniest I found was Nasipov sitting there like a Sheikh in the Middle East.
I unfortunately know too little about many fighters to judge them. I do think the matchups are fairly distributed this way. I am looking forward to Brian Douwes vs. Rajabzadeh. They can put that one as main event or co-main event from me.
I can understand everyone. That questions are only asked of Polanen coming from a certain corner. This is just randomness. Doesn't matter all. But warriorcode should understand well that you are losing followers this way. This platform depends so heavily on the presence of Remy Bonjasky. Because honestly hey, the rest is just nothing. I always find the interviews 10x nothing (but that's the same on almost all other platforms), the people asking questions must have a smooth talk, but only Bonjasky has that here. That's why he is asked everywhere and nowhere for comments, lectures etc. I really like listening to Remy, the rest I take for granted. And seriously, do this in English! Bonjasky has such a big name abroad, there will be 100% followers from all over the world.
Well articulated brother. I'm still waiting for Remy at Joe Rogan 🐦🔥
Remy is at his best when he is part of a conversation. Just relaxed like On the Couch or during Glory on Videoland. But as a moderator during e.g. Warrior Code, I often find it syrupy. He often comes off as totally uncomfortable from the start.
I do not entirely agree on this one, during recordings for Videoland you soon notice that Remy wants to rise above everything and everyone and that it should mainly be about Remy and that he should be the subject. No offense to Remy, but making fun of Manhoef and not just once but several times during the broadcast could be a bit less. Once is nice, after 2 times you should already know it's enough and if it's like this every broadcast it just gets boring. Even though he sees it as a "fatoe", you serve an audience and you don't do that by trying to be a stand-up comedian. And then you certainly don't carry out what you demand from, for example, the members here ( don't play the man! )
The shine should go to the fighters and not every time about the days of old when Remy still fought, his career and how much better he is than Manhoef the same goes for Warriorcode. If you are already critical you should also be able to be critical of yourself, and that is mostly lacking unfortunately. As for Warriorcode you have guests, give them their talk time and don't constantly interrupt them. Some episodes are just messy and because several people talk through each other with a not optimal audio ( noise gate ) it is sometimes just nasty listening, like the last broadcast with all those "influencers".
Jurjendal's tactics will be the same as against Badr.
Calfkicks and getting Jamal off balance that will be the tactic. So that Jamal has to get closer and then strike.

Jamal has to kick himself 3 times rock hard to uku's body. Then he will change tactics
Gentlemen,
To return to my comment. This was actually true and if you read the responses under my comment I was not the only one saying it. There were seriously people who had said to me to be quieter/quiet ...
But there was nothing Glory could do about this because it came from the audience itself.
I'm not going to suck things out of my thumb to destroy glory .
