The penultimate round of the GLORY x RISE Last Featherweight Standing tournament is upon us. In the early hours of Saturday morning, March 28, eight of the world’s top featherweights will meet at GLORY 106 from the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Japan
On the GLORY side of the bracket, we will see two rematches that have been years in the making. GLORY featherweight world champion Petch (175-40-3, 27 KO) will rematch KO artist Abraham Vidales (18-4, 14 KO) and Portuguese sensation Miguel Trindade (64-8, 26 KO) will look to avenge his 2023 loss to the always entertaining Berjan Peposhi (32-6, 16 KO).
On the RISE side, former GLORY title contender & leading Japanese fighter Kento Haraguchi (28-6-1, 18 KO) will go up against talented newcomer Hiroki Kasahara (39-8, 17 KO) while popular South Korean veteran Sung-hyun Lee (71-13-2, 17 KO) takes on top young prospect Yura Kono (17-1, 9 KO).
The four winners will then qualify for a four-man one-night tournament later this year to crown the Last Featherweight Standing.
In addition, the seven-fight card will be headlined by Shiro Matsumoto (55-17-4, 19 KO) defending his RISE bantamweight title against Koki Osaki (38-6-1, 21 KO). In the co-main event, budding superstar Ryujin Nasukawa (17-2, 8 KO) and heavy-hitter Kaito Hasegawa (17-2, 13 KO) battle for the vacant RISE super flyweight championship.
GLORY 106: Last Featherweight Standing takes place Saturday, March 28, from Tokyo, Japan, and will be broadcasted at 7:30am CET | 6:30am GMT | 2:30am ET.
