All fighters are on weight for Saturday's GLORY 13 TOKYO and TOKYO SUPERFIGHT SERIES bouts.
The fighters stepped on the scales at the official weigh-ins in Tokyo on Friday. Only the French heavyweight Jerome Le Banner was absent, arranging to weigh in later on his own.
Peter Aerts headlines this card in what is his retirement match. He faces the GLORY Heavyweight Championship Tournament winner Rico Verhoeven.
In the co-headline, Daniel Ghita looks to send a message to the rest of the heavyweight contenders for 2014. But the knockout machine Errol Zimmerman wants to insert himself into that contender conversation and has plans of his own.
The event’s centerpiece is the four-man Welterweight Championship Tournament, with a $100,000 grand prize.
World #1 Nieky Holzken participates, as does Canadian prodigy ‘Bazooka’ Joe Valtellini, American karate master Raymond Daniels and Armenian grinder Karapet Karapetyan.
