GLORY COLLISION 8 Fight Card is official

The ‘COLLISION’ series have become GLORY’s tentpole event and synonymous with epic moments and massive fights. COLLISION 8 on December 13 from the GelreDome soccer stadium in Arnhem, the Netherlands will be no different.

Keeping in line with the historic heavyweight battles taking centre stage at COLLISION events, Levi Rigters (21-4, 11 KO) will take on the returning Antonio Plazibat (22-5, 16 KO) in a huge main event clash. The winner of which will advance to the final of the Last Heavyweight Standing tournament set for early 2026.

In the co-main event, ‘The Bonecrusher’ Errol Zimmerman (111-20-1, 21 KO) is officially returning to the GLORY ring after ten years away and will face man-mountain Alex Simon (1-0, 1 KO), formerly Australia’s strongest man turned fighter. This contest will also be a wildcard eliminator fight for the final spot in the Last Heavyweight Standing finale.

Two outstanding four-man one-night tournaments in the welterweight and light heavyweight divisions will also go down on December 13. Both featuring the absolute best fighters at their respective weight categories. The opening matchups in each tournament will be decided by random draw in the coming weeks.

At light heavyweight, Artem Vakhitov (22-7, 8 KO), widely considered the light heavyweight GOAT & the last man to beat Alex Pereira in kickboxing, joins a field that includes Milos Cvjeticanin (16-4, 9 KO), Cem Caceres (19-2, 14 KO), and Michael Boapeah (21-5-1, 9 KO).
