Based on recent results (within Glory) I'd say at least 4 of those names are an absolute must:
- Khbabez
- Abena
- Maslobojev
- Latescu
If at least those guys are in I'm okay, BUT...
Obviously everybody wants Rajabzadeh in there (even though he only has that one loss against Maslobojev at LHW).
It seems Glory wants Mory Kromah in there as well.
Looks like Amine vs. Touré will function as somewhat of a qualifier for some reason.
That would leave one final spot which really shouldn't go to Micheletti, Duut or Tavares.
Give it to Stoica or El Bouni.

We have no official details yet about the exact date or location, but Ron Emmerink from Vechtsport Info has been speculating about the K-1 Romania event possibly moving to another date.. |

Maslo, Bahram and Latescu are a must for me. Then Abena and Khbabez. El Bouni is good filler.
Couple spots that they can go about pretty freely. I forgot about Kromah, but yeah guess he'll probably be in. I wouldn't pick either of them necessarily but if the winner of Amine/Touré does get in then that's the tournament filled. Post PED Tavares has no business being in the tournament right now.
I'm not super high on Stoica, specially for a one night tournament, but if for any reason someone can't make it he's fine to put in there.
This tournament seems quite straightforward to put together compared to the HW one.

I'm glad Glory didn't mess around with this and added Maslobojev.

They probably could've stretched these announcements a little, but I like them coming out fast.

Yeah, I just hope the remaining ones come at a similarly fast pace.

Looks like it's officially a qualifier like we suspected. https://www.instagram.com/p/C6BPjlJIIBj They'll probably treat Rajabzadeh vs. Oumar as a qualifier as well. Also not sure if there's any credibility to the rumor, but I've read that a wildcard will go to a fighter who's currently fighting in another promotion. |

Ideally, that leaves us with Khbabez, Abena and Rajabzadeh.
Unless one of them isn't feeling a tournament.
