GLORY 103 RESULTS

Phase two of the Last Heavyweight Standing tournament kicked off in explosive fashion at GLORY 103 on Saturday night, August 23, as eight heavyweights booked their spots in the next round.

In the main event, Levi Rigters (20-3, 10 KO) made a massive statement stopping Jamal Ben Saddik (38-11, 29 KO) with a perfectly placed spinning back kick to the liver, sending ‘The Goliath’ to the canvas in the third round and declaring his desire to win the entire Last Heavyweight Standing tournament.

Serbian striker Rade Opacic (22-7, 17 KO) finally got off to winning ways in GLORY by defeating the always dangerous Ionut Iancu (31-12, 13 KO) with some devastating low kicks.

Big Nabil Khachab (30-6-1, 4 KO) scored his most dominant and emphatic victory in the GLORY ring with a one-side demolition of the UK’s Nathan Cook (7-4, 6 KO), dropping him with some huge haymakers throughout the fight.

The Serbian sensation Milos Cvjeticanin (14-4, 9 KO) continued to entertain with another dazzling display en route to victory over man mountain Colin George (24-14, 22 KO).

Elsewhere in the Last Heavyweight Standing tournament, France’s Sofian Laidouni (40-5-1, 20 KO), Romania’s Alin Nechita (18-2, 7 KO), the clinical Asadulla Nasipov (12-2, 5 KO), and newcomer Mike Kena (9-1, 7 KO) all advanced to the next round.
