Remy and Marinho,

I put a lot of time into this comment, so hopefully you cover it. We know there are bigwigs at Glory, listening in as well as watching, hopefully they will learn something.

Indeed, I think it is time for Glory to make perhaps very unpopular, but tough decisions, so that something can come of the organization. Right now, Glory has gone down a blind alley, and Glory, I'm afraid, cannot reverse that. They have invested very heavily in the heavyweight division without it really paying off, and they have extremely neglected the fighters of the other six divisions (including the LHW division). Former champions have to make public calls on social media to get a match. Extremely talented fighters who could have become standard-bearers of Glory, in the future, leave through the back door to other organizations, when they could have become Glory's gold mines. Shameful!

Glory should, in my opinion, do the following: tell the remaining fighters in the remaining divisions (almost all of which are now deflated), in an honest way, that there is no future for them within Glory for now, and as a courtesy, maybe even help them get a contract with another organization. Those divisions would be best dissolved for now, the next five years for example. The only division you could "resuscitate" and keep in an artificial coma for now is the welterweight division, but even that is not worth it for now.

Glory needs to focus entirely on the heavyweight division and the light-heavyweight division, with the weight divisions to become slightly different. Although they have previously focused on the HW, the organization lacked a clear direction.

Let's start at the beginning. The heavyweight division should start at 100.0 Kg and have a weight limit of 112.5 Kg. The light-heavyweight division should start at 87.5 Kg and run to 100.0 Kg. For example, they could say as of Jan. 1, 2026, every fighter must adhere to that. Fighters who don't want to abide by that will be given the choice: adjust or move.

In addition, they should start organizing three tournaments a year as far as I am concerned. An eight-man tournament for both the LHW division and the HW division in June, one on the Friday and one on the Saturday. And a sixteen-man tournament on New Year's Eve where you put both divisions together in one tournament.

I also think that within these divisions, certain champions who are too inactive should be given a choice: either join this new system or lose champion status. They should then be sporting enough to let them start the new project as reigning champions, if they are willing. That does not mean letting them choose who they fight, but give them an aliexpress crown or something, which they can put on during the press conferences, to recognize the champions. I for one am convinced that they will lose that status within one year. The one who wins the eight-man tournament is champion of that division and the one who wins the sixteen-man tournament is "champion of champions," or "king of kings" or something. Give it an exciting name that sticks.

As far as I am concerned, the current rankings should also be completely reset. The new rankings should then be determined as follows: every fighter should be given the contractual right, nay the contractual obligation, to fight every quarter, i.e. four times a year, outside of tournaments. That is the thing that then ultimately determines the rankings. The current wildcard system should also be stopped as far as I'm concerned. There should be no shortcut to the championship, regardless of previous achievements or "legend status," once fireworks are set off at the end of the year, what you did last year is no longer relevant to the upcoming year. It is only relevant to the history books, what you did in the previous year. And it becomes even more relevant to the history books if you manage to repeat that process.

Participation in the eight-man tournaments must be determined by the rankings at the time of the tournament in June. The eight best in the rankings at that time are allowed to participate. The eight-man tournament is then an interim grade point on the way to the final tournament on New Year's Eve. The four semifinalists from both eight-man tournaments will be seeded directly for the sixteen-man tournament in December. Eight of the sixteen spots are then earned based on any performance in the earlier tournaments, encouraging participation in both tournaments, and requiring fighters to keep themselves sharp throughout the year so as not to miss any opportunities. The remaining eight spots will be determined based on the top four fighters in the rankings of both divisions, in December. These must be the four best fighters not already competing through direct entry.

The fighters who are now at the top of the middleweight division should also be encouraged, as far as I am concerned, to make the step up to the LHW. That would be Wisse, Boapeah, Braun, Bokeme, Ozcaglayan and Touchassie. Maybe Chico Kwasi or Tyjani beztati could still move up with their height. With the fighters you already have in the LHW, you then have a very talented division: Khbabez, Rajabzadeh, Vakhitov, Abena, El Bouni, Latescu, Toure, Kromah, Caceres, Momine, Tavares, Duut & Micheletti (?), Maslobojev. I am aware that I have mentioned some names that just left out of dissatisfaction, but you can surely bring them back with the right plan.

In the heavyweight division you can then build a nice division with names like Verhoeven, Ben Saddik, Rigters, Osaro, Jurjendal, Khachab, Iancu, Laidouni, and some other promising names from last tournament. Perhaps other glory veterans: adegbuyi, Wrzosek (why not!?), Mozny, Inocente could be brought back. Maybe legends Badr Hari, Gökhan Saki, Tyrone Spong and Errol Zimmerman will find all this an interesting idea and grab them another year, especially also to provide some extra publicity for Glory.

There really is still some possibility but in the meantime it is 1 for 12 for Glory. Glory has to start doing something. Otherwise, just like at the end of the K1 era, another very grim time awaits the fighters of today.

@RemyBonjasky and @Marinho1976

Did you guys see how Suga Cane clears Melvin online, that they ran off with his concept?

Are we going to see these two in the ring soon? 😂

Verhoeven is fake man... watched boxing influencers yesterday and even there Verhoeven did not participate in the 8 man tournament. What a pussy.

Warriors! @Marinho1976 @RemyBonjasky I think what you are doing is really cool, only it strikes me that you give @teodordzhamov too little credit for what he is doing. The best man goes to Thailand and leaves his wife here to make something of his career and does it on the @warriorcode platform. There may be some real appreciation He really does this with his heart and has real passion for it. This may be really expressed towards him at ODB.

After this pot, would fearful Remy now dare against Myer or would he only dare against Manhoef.
