Card updates:
Rico Verhoeven vs. Jamal Ben Saddik
Benjamin Adegbuyi vs. Antonio Plazibat
Gökhan Saki vs. James McSweeney
I like it. While part of me wanted to see the Reem take on Rico, there's no question that Rico/Jamal is a much better matchup. And it was supposed to happen earlier this year anyway.
Adegbuyi/Plazibat is a great matchup and unofficial title eliminator as well.
Which leads me to Saki/McSweeney. I'd say a fair matchup for both fighters.

Some additional changes:
- Fight order has shuffled a bit (OP updated)
- Ertugrul Bayrak vs. Matej Penaz is off
- Abraham Vidales is replaced by Serhiy Adamchuk against Aleksei Ulianov
Edit: Oh and Hamicha is now fighting Maximo Suarez instead of Danenberg? I like Maximo, but won't he get destroyed here?

Cool to see Arrab in there and still training. Haven't heard from him in a decade.

Maximo Suarez out:  Not sure what it is. Are all these fighters really getting injured one after another? I have little interest seeing these last-minute substitutes getting beaten to a pulp. |

Happening this week!
I wasn't a big fan of how this card looked initially, but it definitely has gotten a lot more interesting.

This is the same preview show that aired on Veronica last Friday:
Glory appears to be marketing this event very actively, which is good.

Saki interview starts at the 33-34 minute mark.
His current Glory contract is only for 1 fight and he comes across tired and doubtful of himself.
Not the best signs for a fighter making his comeback at 38.
I like McSweeney, but it's gonna be hard not to feel bad for Saki if he ends up losing here.

Would seem kinda risky for Saki to just do a 1 fight contract here. Hope he doesn't look too terrible  |

It's a gamble for both sides. If Saki looks good, good negotiation position for him. If Saki looks bad, good negotiation position for Glory - if they'd even want him. But maybe Saki asked for this himself as he doesn't come across very confident - at least to me.

Figures McSweeney and Overeem are friends, they even talk similarly.
