The draw for the GLORY COLLISION 8 four-man one-night welterweight and light heavyweight tournaments was revealed Thursday with all athletes joining GLORY’s Todd Grisham to see who they will be matched up against on December 13 at the GelreDome soccer stadium in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
GLORY welterweight world champion Chico Kwasi (45-5-2, 23 KO) rematches Bulgaria’s Teodor Hristov (18-4, 7 KO) in his semi-final. Kwasi scored a unanimous decision win over Hristov at GLORY 98 back in February. Former champ Endy Semeleer (38-3, 18 KO) will take on rising outspoken prospect Don Sno (7-2, 3 KO), both fighters come into this bout on impressive win streaks.
Former GLORY light heavyweight champion Artem Vakhitov (22-7, 8 KO) returns to the division he ruled for five years and faces the ‘Timebomb’ Michael Boapeah (21-5-1, 9 KO) in what could potentially be the fight of the night. In the other semi-final at light heavyweight, Milos Cvjeticanin (16-4, 9 KO) and Cem Caceres (19-2, 14 KO) meet for the second time this year. Cvjeticanin TKO’d Caceres at GLORY 100 over the summer in a fight the was over before it truly started. The Turkish power puncher has wanted this rematch ever since & now has his shot at redemption.
