This is like Glory vs WGP in Mexico. Aguirre, Jonas Salsicha, la Hiena Cosnard are/were all WGP fighters. Salsicha is a very good prospect and Cosnard is probably the best female kickboxer from South AMerica, she had a car accident or something 2 years ago, I am happy to see her back

Almost forgot this is happening today.
According to Glory's website it's kicking off in roughly 8 hours.

Not sure if the timer is correct but it says in 5 hours. Definitely not staying up for this one as that would make it 4 AM my time  |

Just watched it.
Some comments:
Vidales / Aguirre - Fun main event. Vidales definitely won the first two rounds in my book, but Aguirre has very fast hands and was able to wobble Vidales a few times to win that third round. Vidales tried the Saenchai kick lol.
Galaz / Altamiro - I didn't expect much from this fight, but it was fun and both fighters showed a surprising amount of versatility with their techniques. Good stuff.
Julio / Aparicio - Short, but sweet. Good that the ref didn't let the fight continue as Julio still wasn't really there.
Wosik / Rios - Another fun, competitive fight. Very high paced. Not sure I agree with the decision, but Rios was definitely no throwaway opponent and Wosik didn't have the same sort of dominance he showed against El Mesbahi or Naoki.
Gazani / Andersson - Andersson was a later replacement for Nick Chasteen, but did great and was able to steal the win. Was a very fun and competitive brawl. Gazani clearly didn't agree with the decision, but I feel there was enough back and forth that it could have gone either way. Andersson definitely had more gas left in the tank.
De Kom / Cosnard - Fun opener. De Kom adapted too late to Cosnar's fighting style, but there was a difference in experience and De Kom was a replacement for Moussaddak.
While this was clearly a lower budget event with ditto production quality, the crowd was alive and there was a good atmosphere. Especially fun to see the crowd get festive when Vidales was entering the ring without it being in an annoying Badr army way. Aguirre got a few boos, but that was to be expected.
The announcer was a bit awkward at times. Some weird long pauses between words, announced Gazani and Andersson as 80kgs despite it being a 70kg fight and called the result a unanimous instead of a split decision. Perhaps it was a language thing.
Wondering if we'll see any of the South American fighters back in Glory. You'd expect at least the ones that defeated Glory fighters to receive invitations.
While I don't expect all these fights to have ramifications in the grand scheme of things, it was nice to see some South American representation linked to a big promotion like Glory. Fights were mostly competitive and on average the level was pretty high.
I used the word fun a couple of times, but this was overall indeed just a fun card between the bigger, numbered Glory events.
