Have you guys heard/read anything about vakitov haven't seen m since Dwcs.
He still stopped by Glory C7. He is a possible opponent for Rico.
@everyone
I always found Jahfar Wilnis fun to watch, does anyone know anything about whether he will return again?
He insisted on fighting Levi last year when he dropped out and was replaced by Nico. Didn't hear anything after that or in the tournament.
Fought at SENSHI bulgaria. No success
Sang congrats,Warriorcode has an app! Very nice!
Badr vs Rico III wouldn't actually surprise me either. Badr is not in a position to fight for the belt, but if this is going to be his last match (and maybe Rico's too), this could just be made.
Badr finished.
Then right away in the USA. Guess a tournament in Morocco will be a while away. Hopefully they fix this within 1 or 2 years.
Actually, Glory should have gone international earlier. Badr and Rico are names that can appeal internationally, though. Even Tyson and Joe Rogan know them. Badr also became friends with Christiano Ronaldo at one point. If you had done an event in Vegas for example at that time you could have picked up on that hype train. Overeem was once an interesting pot to do in the USA because of his fame there. All missed opportunities.
Jamal is well known among martial arts fans and within Europe/Morocco but is out of his prime. I don't see him suddenly becoming very popular in the USA or worldwide. Actually Glory has missed the boat a bit kwa heavyweights popularizing in the USA. Of course Jamal also has a very nice story but he's just not the same as he was 10 years ago. The story has to be interesting + someone has to be in his prime and can fight tremendously well.
Actually I see as the only chance in the short term a crossover fight of Rico with e.g. an ex UFC fighter... but then he has to win of course. Or some format that is new that will trigger people to watch.
100%, they indeed missed the boat with Alistair and Badr in USA. Completely agree with what you say, although I do hope Jamal just keeps going....
Looking at the coverage regarding Rico's fight, I can only come up with 3 names.
1. Francis Ngannou
2. Roman Kriklia
3. Jairzinho Rose bush
Personally, I expect it to be Rose bush, Francis is getting too expensive and Krikla is under contract.
Anyone other suggestions?
Yes probably Jairzinho Rose bush or maybe Antonio Plazibat after all. Otherwise, I wouldn't know either. Rico's contract: NO JAMAL. Soja😂😂
Rico also says it would be some kind of mirrormatch. But Rose bush does not remotely resemble Rico in style or build.
Kryklia then looks more like Rico.
It is a fighter who has not yet fought inside glory. So plazibat falls off. Rose bush is 1 big joke though.
