I've seen a lot of bitching about the matchups already, but what are people expecting here?
We're getting a title fight (rematch), a bad blood revenge match and a couple of newcomers who were initially expected to sign with One(?).
This is perfectly fine.

Happening this Saturday.
Not sure how anyone's going to watch this, but I'm sure someone will share the stream and the fights will make their way to the web quickly.

A shame they could not rebook Jamal-Rigters. I was really hyped up for that one

That one really does suck. Apparently Rigters became a father just a few days after that fight fell through and therefore wasn't available to reschedule in the immediate future.
There are some murmurings right now about a JBS-Adegbuyi rematch. They're both coming off losses, so it kinda makes sense in that regard. But while Adegbuyi generally does well in rematches, I don't see this going differently than their previous meeting.

Despite all the crap surrounding Glory and this studio event nobody has access to even be a thing, I'm looking forward to these fights!

The fights are good, just a weird event. Wouldn't exactly sell a ton, but why not let people buy it if they wanted to hahah. I'd imagine there are at least some Jauncey fans who are wondering why they can't watch him fight  |

A very quick 1h stream, was oddly enjoyable to me. Fairly one sided fights. I almost feel a little bad for Khbabez and Jauncey getting pummeled here. Jauncey been inactive for 2 and a half years, gets to fight on an event that nobody sees. The footage of this will just be a highlight for Beztati, does absolutely nothing for Jauncey.
Event happened in the same warehouse that Enfusion event is being held today. Commentary was done by Julie Kitchen (and Mark Schaaf), Enfusion ring announcer. Joop Ubeda refereeing. Unofficial first Glory-Enfusion joint event.

I didn't expect three finishes, but I'm looking forward to seeing them play out. I feel a bit bad for Jauncey that his big return to Glory was a title fight at a studio event, but it is what it is. At least everybody got to shake off some of that ring rust and make some money. Jauncey losing in and of itself isn't a big shocker, because aside from his inactivity he's just a highly inconsistent fighter whereas Beztati really seems to be coming into his own at this point of his career. Just wondering who they can get to fight him next. At the lower weightclasses Glory doesn't have the biggest talent pools.
As far as organisation of this is concerned I believe/hope this was simply a result of the circumstances and we don't get Mark Schaaf to commentate future fights, nor Joop Ubeda ref anymore high profile fights. He's made some controversial calls years ago and at 71 he isn't exactly improving.

This event was definitely cobbled together at a low budget, but sadly could see them cutting costs for the Rivals cards by using Enfusion people on the broadcasts.
Not sure how much Glory might still license their content to some low end sports tv channels around the world. If they don't do that anymore, then the quality of the commentary might not matter to them so much.

Fun brawl, but if Plazibat shows up like this against Rico he'll get destroyed.

Just saw the rest of the fights.
Osaro/Brundenell was a serviceable opening fight for what this was, but I don't think either fighter is a threat for the top at their current level. Osaro has a bit more size/power, but let's see how he does in a step-up fight first.
Jauncey looked very tentative against Beztati. Likely that ring-rust was a factor here, but once Beztati started landing big shots it was all over.
A bit curious to see Said from SB gym in Jauncey's corner. Unfortunately at this point it's almost like a bad omen as I can't name the last time one of his guys won a fight in Glory.
