I do like Glory going ahead and announcing this already...well, even though it's not that early for their major event...
For me Rigters has somewhat grown into his own in Glory now, but I'm guessing Bahram knocking him out and then doing Rico vs Bahram off the back of that would be a fair bit better option here hahah.
Not sure how much interest a Rico vs. Rigters matchup would generate on it's own. Just play the tournament knockdown clip on repeat to try and convince people it'll be a great fight?

I'm afraid Rigters isn't that popular with casual fans and because of his more reserved personality he gets unfairly lumped in with Rico.
Both Glory and Videoland have been pushing Levi since he joined the promotion, but in terms of interest I don't think he comes close to Bahram.
The ideal scenario for Glory is probably Bahram defeating Levi and then moving on to fight Rico.
That said, I think Levi is a pretty clear favorite against Bahram and do think he stands more of a chance against Rico than Bahram does.

https://www.instagram.com/p/C_x8BzNIsHu Good one to add as this was initially scheduled as an Enfusion bout at roughly the same time, albeit at a lower weight. With both guys winning their Glory calling each other out both at WarriorTalk and over social media, I think there's definitely some hype going into this one. |

So now we have our main event confirmed and the second Levi defeated Bahram I saw people started bitching about both that stoppage and this main event. While I don't really want to give it any attention as it's just a loud minority being stupid (seriously, I've seen people bring up conspiracy theories) I do think it proves that Rigters is a tougher sell than Rajabzadeh.
I still expect this to sell out without too much trouble even if the main event itself won't be considered its main draw. Matchups like Khabez/Abena and Özcan/Smaili should lure a lot of people in. At this point we only have a few fights confirmed, so I'm expecting some more crowd pleasers to be announced soon.
Edit: I do feel it's a bit of a missed opportunity not to have Rico In Zagreb to do a staredown with the new challenger at the end.

I like the matchup, but feel like Glory should build their promising fighters up a bit more before handing one of them a guaranteed loss.

I'm tempted to go with Kromah. I can see him catching Milos, who I've seen get rocked by lesser competition. We'll see tho! Should be fun.

This is actually a good test for both and could be fun. The past week I've seen some people complain about Iancu, but I like him. Yeah he's a somewhat one-dimensional brawler that should drop some weight, but he's fun to watch. Unlike some other self-declared "bombers" he actually knocks people out. https://www.instagram.com/p/DBQuyr1t1Ug |

Saw Ayoub Bourrass vs. Deniz Demirkapu listed for this on wiki, but it's not official (yet). |

Haven't heard from Stefanovski in a good while. Very winnable fight for Bahram. Also Barkouch making his return? Not sure Glory has a clue what to do with HW. https://www.instagram.com/p/DBtwAYgop0K |
