The fantastic card of Glory 15 is taking shape with an exciting line up featuring several of the world’s greatest K1 strikers.
Heavyweights headline the bill as Errol Zimmerman (77-19-1-1NC) meets Ben Edwards (38-8-2), while at the other end of the scale Robin van Roosmalen (42-14-3) takes on Marat Grigorian (35-4-1-1NC) in a lightweight contest. In need of a victory, Zimmerman has found just a single victory in his last five outings, and was most recently knocked out by Romania’s Daniel Ghita, at Glory 13 in Tokyo last December. In contrast, Australian Ben Edwards has built momentum with a four-fight win streak, and was last in action on Nov.23 when he knocked out Jamal Ben Saddik at Glory 12 in New York City.
Having been crowned the winner of Glory’s Heavyweight World Championship Tournament in 2013, the ‘King of the Ring’ Tyrone Spong (73-6-1-1NC) now finds himself in the semi-finals of the Light-Heavyweight World Championship Tournament, taking on Saulo Cavalari (28-2). In the other semi-final bout, another K1 legend – Gokhan Saki (79-17-1NC) takes on Nathan Corbett (59-4-1). Saki faced off against Spong in 2009 and claimed victory via KO, while Corbett was defeated by Spong via TKO in 2013.
