Glory 37 : LA ( UFC Fightpass - 7:30PM PT / ESPN 3 - 10PM PT) LIVE DISCUSSION

I didn't have a problem with them calling them selves the no1 promotion when they actually had the majority of top talent and had them fight each other regularly. The problem was for over a year glory was broke and you got one decent match per card and the rest was hemmers gym guys facing bums and americans with less than 10 fights. I have no problem with them calling themselves that now but when they were basing everything around america and saying they were the best kickboxing had to offer while trotting out guys who wouldn't even be considered top strikers in mma let alone in kickboxing it was very damaging to the sport. ( i despise lion fight for the exact same reason)

Then you had them just let the iska ruin event after event while never even acknowledging the problem. It was especially irritating because they didn't have to use the iska but kept using them after knowing most everyone there was an unqualified idiot because they were buddies with some of them.

My views on k1 are that while there was rampant corruption they were really consistent with how they implanted it which is more than you can say for the rest of the corrupt organizations. Everyone knew the couple of japenese guys the judges favored and that if it was not a dominant win an extension round was coming

Not every business devision is a good one. It's easy to judge from an external point of view. They've surely made mistakes and I also don't like those very low-skilled fights between Americans as they're trying to build their American fanbase, but I guess they tried.

Considering they will now have more events than before, that we have some quality divisions to follow between 145, 155 and 170 as 145 and 170 are now getting a hell of a lot more exciting, and that they're even bringing fighters like Badr Hari, possibly Ghokan Saki back etc. Those are exiting times for the promotion and for me as a fan, so I don't really focus too much on the previous bad decisions or on some cards being less talent stacked.

I guess it depends if you focus on the negatives and want to "hate" rather than focus on the positives and what it's bringing for the sport.

Honestly, we now have a few good promotions coming up and that's great, but the KB scene wouldn't be as good as it is now without Glory.
 
catching up and I have so many questions...

are there videos of the fights? I only found RvR vs. Embree; are they worth watching?

did they explain something about that tiny ring?

WTF with the botjobs?

did Coca get banned?
