Yeah, and Tomás Aguirre, who had a close fight with Abraham VidalesHow comes they didn't bring Wasabi Rios back after he beat Wosik?
New signing:
Maybe a little bit off topic, but who would you guys like to see against Benjamin Adegbuyi?
With how thin things are at HW I think he's good to keep around. Really he's lost his last 3 fights, but isn't on some epic slide. Not championship material as he could never kick it into high gear in his fights, but he's a solid test for other guys in the division. Good gatekeeper.IMO no one, I think he should retire. He's 38 and hasn't won a fight in almost four years, his last win being against a broken Badr Hari. He's not going to beat Rico, he's not going to be a top contender again - I don't really see any reason for him to keep fighting unless he really needs the money.
How comes they didn't bring Wasabi Rios back after he beat Wosik? From South America they can bring also Petros Cabelinho, Jones Coliseu, Vinicius Mestrinier and Cabelo Monteiro.
Badr’s retirement fightMaybe a little bit off topic, but who would you guys like to see against Benjamin Adegbuyi?
Once the tournament is done, Osaro is a good opponent for Benny.Maybe pass him the leftovers, give him a guy like Osaro since he already took that Rico L. Would be a solid bounce back match up.

You probably don't want him ruining guys chances of being potential opponents to Rico though, as their are very few viable ones. Maybe pass him the leftovers, give him a guy like Osaro since he already took that Rico L. Would be a solid bounce back match up.
Oh I hear you and I had been pleading for a lot of other fighters to finally hang it up. I just haven't seen that big of a slide for Adegbuyi yet, but if he goes out and loses his next few fights, gets KO'ed and doesn't look good I'd say hang it up for sure. No point in continuing on especially since the reality is he won't get that belt around his waist. Had his opportunities already. Just adding more mileage to the body.From a fan's perspective, I get it and totally agree with your point of view, but I was thinking more about his personal life and the repercussions of putting himself through the meat grinder more and more at this point in his life. My coach had a long amateur career in striking sports, got to fight Kovalev in Boxing when he was coming up, had a stint in Glory, continued to fight professionally after being released and finally retired in his early 40s a few years ago. After a lifetime of fighting, his knees are destroyed, deals with CTE (and a lot of the related issues caused by it) as well as the mental strain of the lifestyle change from living in fight camp for three decades, and I can see how it effects his quality of life every day I am in the gym working with him. The end of his career was marked by a lot of injuries, balancing family life with fight life, etc. etc. Idk man, I see Adegbuyi and I think of all the other guys who are in their late 30s or early 40s, still fighting professionally and struggling in an uphill battle. It can be really hard to see when it's someone you really care about.
Sergej Maslobojev knocked out Rhys Brudenell in just 35 seconds, last night at KOK 117 (heavyweight fight):
Who should he fight next in GLORY? And at heavyweight or light-heavyweight?
