Sad to see Catinas getting murdered like that but it was to be expected. He was never elite and he also took a 4 or 5 years break. I have a feeling he won't be coming back after this one.
Plazibat looks good, and although i doubt he has what it takes to win against Rico, i certainly would want to see that fight, i don't think there's anyone more qualified to have a try with Rico at this point in time.

Overall I liked this event, but boy do I have a lot of notes.
+ Plazibat/Catinas was a short explosion of violence and fun to watch while it lasted, but...
+ Semeleer / Nabiyev. The fight itself was really fun.
+ Local fighters Lutterbach and Akipa weren't there to get whooped.
+ Gershon/Akipa was better than expected. I didn't have high hopes for Akipa, but he made it competitive and turned the fight around after a rough start.
+ Wilnis/Blawdziewicz was a fun high volume fight. Good comeback for Wilnis and despite losing, a good Glory debut for Blawdziewicz. Also a very happy and enthousiastic Wilnis in the backstage interview. Nice and friendly guy.
+ Ozcaglayan/de Sousa was more competitive than the result makes it seem and at one moment in R2 it looked like Ozcaglayan was ready to go down himself.
+ Definitely keeping an eye on Chikh Mousa and Wosik.
+ Small, but very nice looking venue.
- ...the match even being made was nonsensical and the result made it look like a complete mismatch.
- A nonsensical order of fights and a horrible robbery in the co-main event put a big dent in this otherwise fun event for me.
- Semeleer getting the nod against Nabiyev is probably the worst decision I've seen this year. I think Semeleer knows, because he said Nabiyev should get a rematch. I don't think Semeleer won a single round that fight. Absolutely horrendous scoring.
- 8 fights is a bit too little for a 'major' card. Glory should aim for 10. I think that's the sweet spot.
- Saw a bunch of moments where fighters would throw multiple knees in a clinch and not get called out for it by either of the refs.
- I thought Lutterbach/Trijsburg would be a mismatch in Trijsburg's favor, but it was the other way around. Glory probably wanted a local fighter like Lutterbach high up the card, but this should have been a prelim.
- Worried about Trijsburg. The way he went out on his feet and fell down looked scary. I hope he isn't seriously injured and recovers well. Not sure why the ref didn't jump in during that last fury in Round 1.
- A few technical mishaps during the broadcast like replays showing while the next round already started, audio volume alternating between low and high at random moments.
- And the same thing happened during Plazibat / Catinas. All these fighters have these vocal, hooligan type fandoms.
- Apparently some people got up for the Lutterbach / Trijsburg fight as well.
- A bit concerning to see a group of Polish Blawdziewicz fans standing up during the fight.
- JayJay Boske with the backstage interviews again while fighters are getting taped. Stop it.
Some interesting sidenotes:
* At least some fighters were being PED tested during the event. Boske commented on Ozcaglayan being tested while he was interviewing Mike Passenier backstage.
* Tiffany van Soest doing commentary with Valtellini instead of Todd Grisham.

I feel bad for Catinas. Saw the pre-fight interviews where he got emotional when talking about his dad and coupled with his long lay-off I wonder if Catinas is still in this for the right reasons and now he got killed like this. An extra note: There was a backstage exchange of words between Endy Semeleer and Dennis Krauweel while they were doing post-fight interviews. Apparently Krauweel said "You know you lost that fight Endy." No escalation or anything, just some understandable emotion after that brainfart of a decision. None of it is Endy's fault, though. |

Really missing russian fighters in Glory. It should have been Menshikov vs Nabiyeb.
