Thian de Vries fighting in Aerts' promotion next month. De Vries defeated his opponent Saito by TKO R1 (Ref stoppage) earlier today. According to him and his trainer it was a mismatch. Unfortunately, Peter Aerts has split with the Legend promotion. A spokesperson said there was no real "synergy" between Aerts and Legend management. However, Aerts is working on a new project with a bunch of K-1 veterans: https://www.instagram.com/p/C9PmzRXMR3b

Launch a promotion pretty much "as" a fighter's own promotion, then split up with said fighter... Well done Legend.

About Titans...not sure what Crocop or Sapp have been doing lately. But Safo is already with PFL and doesn't JLB have his own MMA promotion too?

Yeah, Aerts doesn't strike me as someone who's difficult to work with or anything. Wonder what happened and if Legend can remain above water/relevant.
And no clue what Titans is supposed to be. Could it somehow be related to Breaking Down?

Some tidbits from a post-event Glory 93 interview with Robbie Timmers: - Glory is looking to expand to more countries and become more international again. - Other than the FW GP (which is more of a RISE/Japan thing) it currently looks like there won't be any more tournaments this year. - The FW GP will - as expected - consist of a mix of Glory and RISE fighters. - There will probably be 'another' Glory event in the same month as the RISE FW GP. - Rico is expected to defend his title before the end of the year. - Boapeah might have another fight before challenging Wisse again. Apparently his camp asked for it as they are in the process of adjusting Boapeah's style. - Timmers didn't want to confirm whether or not the winner of Rigters/Plazibat will be the next in line to challenge Rico.

In Lithuanian kick news...
Seems like Maslobojev has jumped ship from KOK to a promotion called UTMA. They signed a couple other locally notable KOK guys as well. UTMA has also signed a number of notable KOK fighters in the past. Looks pretty bad for KOK in Lithuania.
It's not quite the same because KOK doesn't have the money, but think of Glory having gotten all the Dutch fighters they ever wanted from Enfusion and co. ...but then if Enfusion suddenly started nabbing champions and other draws from Glory. It's fairly weird.
As I see it KOK never REALLY recovered properly from the covid era. Before they had on average much better attendances for their shows and also less competition. Not entirely sure how UTMA manages to pay more tho, which they must be doing.
