At least he's still active, but it does feel like a fade into obscurity.

Looked a bit into the ONE Euro HW tournament. The original 8 qualifier winners: Tomáš Hron (Czech Republic) Nikola Filipović (Serbia) Moisés Baute (Spain) Ahmet Tiren (Turkey) Gerardo Atti (Germany) Rhys Brudenell (England) Sergey Kopachev (Russia) Kevin Tariq Osaro (Nigeria) Looks like probably half of them won't be fighting on the 8-man finals. Rhys Brudenell, who is now fighting on the Glory studio event, is replaced by Claudio Istrate who Brudenell beat in the qualifier tournament. Moises Baute out for whatever reason, replaced by Mourad Zakari who lost in the 1st round of that qualifier tournament. Sergey Kopachev out for whatever reason, replaced by Niknam Haghparast who Kopachev beat in the qualifier tournament. No info on Osaro yet, but considering Brudenell is out then would assume Osaro is too as he is fighting on the Glory studio event. Direct replacement for him would be Badr Ferdaous, but he is set to fight a Stoica bro in Romania a week later... Looked into history's worst run tournament again! They started this 16-man tournament in April 24, 2021. It's been interrupted by multiple cancellations, Glory poaching Osaro and Brudenell, Azerbaijan attacking Armenia etc. The tournament is ran by Carlo Di Blasi and December 17 they finally continued the tournament with 2 quarterfinal bouts in Italy. Naturally they got 4 entirely new guys for the quarterfinals. Claudiu Istrate and David Trallero were supposed to fight in the quarterfinals but tested positive for covid so they got replaced by another 2 new guys. They've announced Istrate and Trallero for the next quarterfinals already, so in total they've got at least 6 out of the 8 guys in the quarterfinals who didn't qualify for them. They essentially wasted 19 months for their Round of 16 with nothing to show for it, just got random new guys to fill in lol. (new) Final 8 Yuri Farcas (Italy/Romania) Jakub Doman (Poland) Sergii Liubchenko (Ukraine)Umut Eryilmaz (Turkey)Claudiu Istrate (Italy/Romania) David Trallero (Spain) TBA TBA David Trallero no longer in for the last 2 quarterfinal bouts, but they are pretty close to continuing the tournament! 0 out of 8 original qualifier tournaments winners advanced to the quarterfinals. The 4-man qualifiers weren't really stacked, but the winners didn't end up being too bad. Tomáš Hron (Czech Republic) Nikola Filipović (Serbia) Moisés Baute (Spain) Ahmet Tiren (Turkey) Gerardo Atti (Germany) Rhys Brudenell (England) Sergey Kopachev (Russia Kevin Tariq Osaro (Nigeria) Shame none of them are in the tournament anymore. Only thing stopping this, again, is Azerbaijan attacking Armenia, again.

What bothers me most about this situation is that this will keep happening with fighters, especially at heavyweight and especially in Glory.

If the UFC can't offer him enough, Glory certainly can't. This seems even more unlikely than Ngannou boxing against Fury.
