You don’t want to miss this incredible event as Rico Verhoeven will try to get his 12th consecutive title defense a couple of months after his impressive win in the GLORY Heavyweight Grand Prix. His opponent is not known yet but he will be determined by GLORY 95’s main event as Levi Rigters (18-2, 8 KO) and Bahram Rajabzadeh (69-3, 61 KO) are set to fight in a five round title eliminator in Zagreb to earn a shot at the belt.Â
The two men already met once in the GLORY Heavyweight Grand Prix and Levi Rigters earned a very close and debated decision. It will be in 5 rounds this time around with many arguing that the length of the fight will favor “The Golden Wolf” over Rigters. Not one to be disturbed by the perspective of a 25 minutes fight, Levi is looking to get a second chance at Rico Verhoeven whom he faced in the final of the GLORY Heavyweight Grand Prix and dropped with an incredible spinning backfist before ultimately losing to the champion.
Bahram Rajabzadeh wants to play spoilers and prove that the hype that has been surrounding him for a couple of months is warranted. Rajabzadeh has been on an incredible run since 2023, winning 7 fights in just over a year. He did come short in the final of the GLORY Light Heavyweight Grand Prix in June but he took some time to heal up and he is prepared to show that he is a threat to anyone at both Heavyweight and Light-Heavyweight. The 2023 Breakout Fight of the Year wants to finish 2024 with a belt around his waist and he knows what he has to do to get there.Â
This lays the promess of an incredible GLORY 95 event and a great main-event for COLLISION 7. More fights will be announced very shortly for what already feels like an unmissable night.
GLORY 95 & COLLISION 7 will both be available to watch live exclusively on Videoland in the Netherlands, DAZN in Belgium & France, Bally Live & Stadium across the United States & Canada.Â
