Not sure how reliable this Croatian site is, but they're saying the event may take place in Croatia and Badr is likely to appear on the card. |

Plazibat fighting a qualification winner for the interim title is definitely a downgrade, but at least we have a date and it's pretty soon.

There is no justification to give Khbabez - who went 1-4 in his last 5 - another title shot after defeating a last minute replacement. They should have given Maslobojev - who got screwed over - another shot.
That said: I do like this matchup.

I mean, I get that Glory is a business and their product is entertainment above all else, but then they should just own up to that. Don't sell us that "we're following the rankings" bullshit Robbie Timmers loves to do. Glory's rankings are an excuse to make certain matchups look legit, nothing else. That's why the rankings make zero sense and they're unable to explain them. Over the years they've tried to explain their criteria a couple of times and it sounded like they were completely winging it. In a recent interview with Remy Bonjasky and Marinho Gordon, Timmers brought up the rankings again and added that "Glory's listening to the fans" for their matchmaking. I wonder which fans he's talking about, because only certain fanboys are asking for the title fights Glory's putting together. Not to mention that listening to the fans for who should get a title shot is one of the worst things a promotion can do. Timmers went on to 'answer' questions in the most evasive, corporate BS way possible: - "Rico hasn't been fighting a lot because of the pandemic, busy schedules and various other circumstances." - "Glory hasn't done tournaments for years because the promotion, fighters and audiences weren't ready." What does that even mean? They might as well stop interviewing him altogether, because this is the type of mindboggling nonsense we always get. |

Aside from my belief that Maslobojev and Nabiyev should be next in line to get title shots for their respective weightclasses, I really do like the card so far.
Unfortunately, I expect only a couple more fights to be added. Perhaps a women's (title) fight.

Not sure how to feel about this one.
Seems more like a build-up fight for Khachab.
Could be a fun brawl, but more suited as a prelim.

Tok is a bit of a weird guy to have on Glory at this point.

Tok is one of those typical Balkan card-fillers who usually loses when fighting someone decent.
He's also probably around 40 so signing him doesn't make much sense... unless they intend to use him to give some of their up-and-comers experience against beatable veterans.
His brawler style probably also matches well with Khachab so it should at least be entertaining.
Edit: He just turned 34. Thought he was older since he's been around forever.
