It’s a hectic fight weekend, with all sorts of MMA action going on. But if you are a fan of stand-up fighting, this weekend’s top priority should be Glory 3 Rome Final 8. The show features a one night, 8 man tournament that will determine the top 70kg fighter in the world.
Glory 3 Rome airs today at 3:30 p.m. ET / 12:30 p.m. PT. You can watch it via live stream at GloryWorldSeries.com for $15, on TV at Fight Now TV, or select providers including DIRECTV and Dishwill be offering it as a PPV for $19.99. The full fight card, with results from yesterday’s weigh-in is below.
The big attraction here is kickboxing pound for pound king Giorgio Petrosyan. He’s the best in the world, and looks to prove it in the tournament – ideally in the finals with the much anticipated showdown with Robin van Roosmalen. For more on the card, check out my preview.
