Hey...someone made a nice looking list, it must be right. How dare you lol at it! Hilarous list, football is a global phenomenon. ONE will definitely get that big TNT contract now. GLORY is also big, and ONE is twice bigger.   If they see such rankings every day, I guess some will believe the fake news. |

Which begs the question; who (co-)owns or has a stake in this Tubular Labs? |

Thinking about it... jamal hasn't fought since 2018... and he won't fight until at earliest late this year... which means that it will be more than 3 years of inactivity. That's crazy... he was riding a wave, then he disappeared.

Maybe he fights on 17th July, the article says he will be training. But I am reading he suffered there. It would not be wise to show up mentally not well at least and lose by KO, just taking the money... Though I would not be surprised about Glory!

So again rumors that Glory is doing an 8 man tournament at the end of the year. I'm assuming HW.
There were talks about this last year as well. I'm all for it, but let's see what happens.

I'm all for it, but with one exception... I wish the strongest fighters to fight against each other in the first phase of the tournament. I mean, I don't want to see jamal( just an example) meet Rico in the final while barely breathing. The best fights should not be ruined by the tournament format.

I have mixed feelings about that preference. I get where it's coming from, but in some ways I feel like it's actually the other way around: having the best possible matchups in the first round kind of ruins the point of having a tournament in the first place.
I'd kinda want the tournament favorites spread out so they don't meet early on; will they actually breeze past the competition or will an underdog pull an upset? Will anyone get injured? Who has the best gas tank? Who is the ultimate gladiator?
Ideally you'd do a draw so there is no politics or favoritism, just luck and fighter's personal tactics.
Let's say two fighters meet when one of them or neither is in the best of shape. Usually you'll get a single fight rematch to see who's the best when they're fresh. Maybe two fighters met at some point throughout the tournament and there is bad blood so you can do a revenge match. Maybe a fighter got injured in a fight he was winning up until that point. So with the tournament you create a perfect opportunity to build multiple future events that people are looking forward to based on how said tournament played out.

Ben Saddik will probably not fight soon. They should make imo now Rico vs Benny, and then the winner should take on Ben Saddik in winter. Meanwhile Ben Saddik can fight somebody this summer.
In December, they could make an 8-man tournament as "contender" with: Catinas, Khbabez, Rigters, Wilnis, Pacas, Mahiedinne, Plazibat and one more (no fouls I hope).
Glory should start honouring the two mandatory challengers. In winter there will be crowds surely.

Stack the tournament so any fight in any phase of it is good  |

Sure, ideally every part of the tournament is good. Not sure if Glory at this point has the financial means to do so.
If a tournament happens I expect 3 or 4 big names, a couple of veterans and a couple of guys being thrown to the wolves.

Handsome man with too much artificial testosterone... I hope it doesn't become mainstream outside Holland!
