The month after after G78, card to be announced in the upcoming weeks.

Will this be the event where the rumoured Rico vs. Alistair fight takes place?

Perhaps we'll learn a few more details during tomorrow's presser.

Rico Verhoeven Defends Heavyweight Title on October 23 vs. Alistair Overeem

It's official.

Adegbuyi says he's on the card and names Ben Saddik as a possible opponent. Problem is Ben Saddik has been blacklisted to fight in the Netherlands by the Dutch fightsport authority for an undetermined period.

'Trustworthy sources' have confirmed that Adegbuyi is going to fight Ben Saddik on this card.

For Jamal to actually fight in the Netherlands he'd have to be taken off the blacklist first, but I guess they could have something lined up for him to fix that.

Either way if it happens that's a good rematch I'm sure a lot of people would get excited for.

Good to see Maslobojev getting another chance to fight after his previous fight fell through.

Gotta be honest though, not a big fan of Abena nor excited about Nabiyev vs. Jones.

[K1power]

And as expected, Ben Saddik has been taken off the blacklist after 'several parties' met with the Dutch Fight sport authority and discussed the situation.

let the gentleman sell those cellphones!

[K1power]

Honestly feel a bit meh about everything besides Rico/Alistair and BenSaddik/Adegbuyi.

[K1power]

Okay I'm liking these a bit more.

[K1power]

Think we're getting pretty close to having a full card now.

I liked the matchups for G78 much better - at least on paper - but who knows this event might really deliver.

Still hoping for another great matchup or two.

[Shadess]

Yea not as good as G78, but that had pretty good matchups tho.

King being brought in to be KO'd by Duut. Jones I suppose, on paper, is an okay matchup but I don't really care a whole lot about that fight and I quite like Nabiyev.

Not to be all European, but I feel like if you replaced the Americans on this card it could look a whole lot more interesting.
