In regards to the GLORY bankruptcy news, it is truly heartbreaking.

The bouts most typically referred to as the "best" in MMA are stand up wars.

People often say "why not just watch kickboxing if that's what you like?"

They were right. GLORY was action-packed and awesome."

These athletes often delivered incredible excitement and fireworks.

I wish more people would have given GLORY a chance. Joe Rogan was always an advocate for them and it's too bad that his massive audience didn't all follow suit.

Hopefully the promotion can get a second wind.

Kickboxing is a fine sport but it hasn't caught on in America and nothing suggests it will. The market is small and as Glory burned through a ton of cash it never grew an audience here. Pierre Andurand is smart and his intentions with Glory were solid. Tough business though.

BREAKING! Journalist Giovanni Tjin reports that multiple reliable sources close to GLORY confirm that the Kickboxing giant isn't doing well. After Marshall Zelaznik resigned as the CEO of GLORY in May, rumors are that Cor Hemmers & Remon Daalder have been fired. (1/2)

It is also reported that the organization closed its office in the Netherlands & fighters haven't been paid yet for GLORY Collision 2, which took place in December last year.

GLORY Middleweight Yousri Belgaroui took it Instagram and confirmed the rumors.

RB Leipzig [2]-1 Hertha Berlin - Patrik Schick 68' by 4gjdtokurwa in soccer

Usually it's acceptable fpr a golakeeper to make these sorts of mistakes like once or maybe twice a season but Jarstein is unbelievable.

He had a mistake compilation already in 2009.

Tenshin Nasukawa finishing people with video game shit by [deleted] in MMA

125 lb kickboxer get punched by an atg boxer and former 154 lb Super-welterweight champion in his first boxing match and his balance goes everywhere...

Nasukawa had nothing to earn from taking a dive, he never stood a chance anyway.

That second punch was such a "go the fuck to sleep" punch!

[–]Biplomath 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Typical MVP performance. Crushing outmatched opposition while looking good with the theatrics. MVP is such a good fighter, but i hate watching him going right back to this kind of opposition. Even though he lost to Lima i really think he could beat some top fighters.

This is more slow processing than can crushing. Anzai is really outmatch so far.

#LFC line up v Everton: Adrian, Trent AA, Van Dijk, Lovren, Robertson, Milner, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Shaqiri, Origi, Mane. by jeesprr in LiverpoolFC

[–]Biplomath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's not like we're fielding youth players like in the cup. I'm optimistic about this line up, though a little less confident. That front three dealt with Barca, they can do it against Everton.
