Pretty good fit for the current Glory. Decent guy to have on your card, the 70 kg division is pretty dead...good name to have if you keep going to Germany etc.
Not expecting him to make it to the top but you need these kinds of fighters.

Looking at Glory's 70kg division I definitely think of Kehl as one of the top 3 names there.
Thing with Kehl is he's a bit inconsistent. One day he beats Allazov and in his next fight he gets crushed by Kiria in the first round.
Either way a good addition to the roster for Glory.

Kiria is an excellent fighter, no top elite, but excellent.

Kiria is great, but I don't consider him to be on the same level as when he was Glory champ. Definitely below Allazov, which is why him blowing Kehl out of the water in such fashion surprised me. Of course styles make fights and just like everyone else fighters simply have good/bad days, but still.

Its so funny, in the West drama/controversy will only help you. If she was an American speaking English her agent would get her on Dr Phil to springboard her rap career.

ONE: First Strike was the only fight event I have ever manage to predict correctly all the winners  |

Saw a rumour about JBS too that his brothers supposedly stole some drugs and that's the reason why his family/restaurants etc. were attacked. He tried to open a gym and the local authorities wouldn't let it be opened because of fears of it being targeted.

Jamal should go to the ONE HW openweight tournament and keep in Asia, far away from all those turf issues.
Or move to Japan and reign as the K-1 Super Heavyweight champ forever.

Yeah I shared an article about that whole JBS gym opening being stopped by the mayor of Antwerp (?) a few weeks ago.
No doubt the attacks are drug related.
Jaraya being in jail wouldn't surprise me either. Some people just cannot stay out of trouble.

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. Oh I agree. It makes sense that fighters who had success in Glory get in the GLORY HALL OF FAME lol. At the same time I get Hoost's point. I like Valtellini, but even within the context of Glory he should probably at the bottom of the list to get HOF honors; he's had only 6 fights in Glory, got a gift decision against De Bonte to become the champ and then retired. No title defenses and he lost to Holzken right before being put in a title fight. Glory put him in the HOF because he's their commentator and happened to be at the venue that day. |

Some tidbits from the latest Warrior Code podcast with Bonjasky, Plazibat, Henk Grol (Judo), Nick Hemmers and Dennis Kornman:
- Kornman is doing the Vechtersbazen podcast and has worked for It's Showtime!, Glory and is now Executive Producer at EuroSport for anything Fightsport.
He said that in addition to the UFC Discovery/EuroSport currently has the rights to air Karate Combat and Cage Warriors events as well. EuroSport wants to be a presence in fightsports again.
- Cor Hemmers is working on a Ramon Dekkers documentary.
- Jaraya has been training at Hemmers Gym these past 7 weeks, but hasn't left his current team.
No word about an arrest or jailtime.
- Was a bit of a discussion regarding the topic of PEDs and everybody agreed Glory handled it poorly.
Here are some clips (mostly) in English with Plazibat:
