I'm not familar with these guys, but it would be a good thing if they're not currently training at a Dutch gym.

Kedves supposed to be a decent Croatian on a nice winning streak.
Glory is holding a press conference in Croatia in a month or so. Would've kinda made sense to do this event there, but guessing they'll hold an event there later then.
Pelcis fought for the title in KOK. Polish KOK commentator Daniel said he's trained in the UK for some years now.

Back in January it was rumoured that this card would take place in Croatia: 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. I guess it will be a later one then. |

It's good to see both upcoming Glory and K-1 cards featuring a bunch of actual foreigners and not just guys who happen to train there.
Anyway, just received an e-mail from Glory that this card has been finalized.
Could have done with one or two extra fights, but I really like what's there.
Here's hoping there won't be too many injuries.

Bit of a weird press conference to have, tho I'm not sure how much star power Plazi has in Croatia.

Yeah, it seems a bit odd to have a presser in Croatia for an event that isn't being held there.
Glory may just want to test crowd and media interest in Plazibat and/or announce an upcoming card featuring Plazibat taking place in Zagreb.
Maybe they're partnering with Orsat Zovko for something.

Presser in roughly 3 hours:

It just wrapped up. Some notes:
- The venue looked nice and the direction of the presser was more streamlined than usual for Glory.
- A bit odd that they brought in Mike as an active part of the presser, but then I guess this isn't an everyday situation.
- The logistics of the preparations for this fight are interesting; schedules so that Plazibat and Osaro don't run into each other, sharing sparring partners etc.
- Apparently Croatia is playing a football match against the Netherlands a few days before Collision, so there should be lots of Croatian fans at the event.
- Poturak sure threw in a disrespectful question lol : "Antontio, in what round will you knock out Tariq?".
- It was nice to see Crocop there, he looked good and seemed to be in good spirits.
- There were a few times you couldn't hear the questions being asked.
I expected some sort of announcement being made for an upcoming Glory event in Croatia, but it really just was this presser. Feels like a bit of a missed opportunity.
Wonder if this will have any kind of effect on local Croatian press coverage.

The host was a local fight site/FFC/combat reporter guy. Probably can get the message out at least to fight fans.

Yeah he looked familiar, I was waiting for Orsat Zovko to pop in.

He's not wrong, but Osaro is steadily improving and has explosive power. Sometimes that's enough to pull upsets, especially at HW. I'd say it's 70-30 in favor of Plazibat.
