The Glory and K1 events look awesome and since they are held 1 day apart, and both featuring a -70kg tournament they are also begging to be compared.
Below are the details about the cards, any kickboxing fans excited about this?
and which card is better?
***NB, for those who dont know, K1 was bought out by some dutch fella and he has some kind of talent sharing deal with "its showtime" but not with Golden glory.
...i have no clue on the details but the bottom line is those GG fighters wont be fighting in K1 anytime soon, so these two promotions are in direct competition for the most kickboxing prestigious tournament of the year!
26th May, Ericsson Globe Stockholm, Sweden. (same place as UFC)
Glory World Series: First 16
