Nobody owes you free tickets. Certainly a thing Glory could do, but I would say there's also more relevant people to invite to your shows and give free tickets to than Hoost at this point. Glory is also notoriously terrible at any kind of outreach even with their own active fighters, nevermind any other people. They should do better.
Hoost does sound a little bitter there. Just lol @pearl harbour.
Valtellini definitely shouldn't have been the first inductee to the Glory hall of fame, the glaringly obvious choice was Schilt. First inductee, big show in the Netherlands...come on. At the time seemed to me like Andurand wanted to reward Valtellini for sticking with the company or whatever and maybe he could use the cash prize they gave him too.
Bonjasky would obviously be in a kickboxing or K-1 hall of fame, don't think there's any particular hurry to have him in the Glory hall of fame. Wonder who they'll add this year? Roosmalen is an obvious one also, but I'd wait a year or two before adding him if they have someone else. Maybe posthumously honour de Bonte? Bunch of clear names still somewhat around like Saki and Holzken.

Senshi had Hoost, Arts, Schilt, Kraus, Feitosa, Filho and Greco in attendance in Bulgaria a couple shows ago and they do shit like that every event. Usually they fly just Hoost, Aerts and Schilt to Bulgaria. Paid to referee, commentate and just hang around. Senshi spends (some) of their money absolutely terribly.

ONE refreshed their website a little. They added fight records to fighter profiles! Wanted them to have those for so long. Hopefully they add links to full fights at some point, now just point to fight highlights on insta or fb.

Cool to see Animal Koji picking up a win. After that losing streak and car accident he could use a pick-me-up.

Cool addition. Do we know if this tournament is truly open weight or are there any limits? When we end up with lightweights against heavyweights we're treading freakshow territory.

The way Chatri presented it was to make it appear as truly open weight. Think it probably ends up being 60-77 kg and Sinsamut could be the biggest guy in it. Much more reasonable tournament if they match 60-70 kg guys on one side of the bracket, 70-77 kg guys on the other, likely winners going through won't be that far off from each other in weight.

Hoost went on to vent his frustrations when Remy brought up Glory's Hall of Fame and its inductees. Remy: "Bazooka Joe is in it." Hoost: "Who's Bazooka Joe?" Remy: "Joseph Valtellini." Hoost: "Are you in the hall of fame?" Remy: "No, not yet" Hoost: "Why is Bazooka Joe there, but not you?" Because Valtellini had a succesful career in (look notes...) Glory Kickboxing. Unlike Remy. Go figure. In fact, the most deserving person to be next Hall of Famer in Glory is Robin van Roosmalen.
