Glory 70 - Lyon

[K1power]

Very nice main card opener and happy they didn't give the decision to the wrong fighter.

Whoa!

I don't dislike Wisse, but I'm rooting for Wilnis who's been going through a bit of a rough patch lately.

Main event time!

Troy Jones vs. Murthel Groenhart

My expectations aren't very high, but I'd like to be surprised.

Quick thoughts:

+ Wilnis/Wisse was another very solid fight. While I felt bad for Wilnis not being able to get back in the winner's circle, this was probably the best I've seen Wisse perform thus far. Also liked how humble Wisse was post fight
+ Zouggary/Ezbiri - short but sweet! While I'm kinda happy Zouggary being back with a big win in Glory, it's hard not to feel a bit bad for Ezbiri going down like that in front of his homecrowd in a somewhat high profile fight
+ Palandre/Gazani was a very strong opener for the main card
+ Mahiedinne/Kornilov was a good, close fight and I was happy Mahiedinne was able to take the decison
+ Peňáz comes across like a pretty down to earth guy who just wants to climb the ranks at his own pace
+ Angerville is the best last name for a fighter
+ Glory had a very good translator in the ring during the post fight interviews, he was quick, accurate and clear. As amateuristic as Glory is sometimes, credit where credit's due.

- Troy Jones did a bit better than expected early on, but this was far from what Doumbé could have done.
- Palandre clearly getting knocked down and it being ruled a slip
- Not really anyone's fault, but Ahaggan losing by what looked like an injury sucks

Some side notes:
I missed the first two Prelim fights; Glory only had the third fight listed and I didn't see the weigh ins so I wasn't aware there was more.

My internet connection decided it was time to fuck me over so I've missed large portions of Thong/Kubo and Hendouf/Billet, though the few bits I caught made them look like entertaining fights.

So in summarisation; I missed some stuff early on, but I really liked what I saw later on.

French Glory events keeping the tradition of higher level events alive.

Either way thanks for joining, guys!
