Saddik is looking mighty impressive!!! Glad to see he's taking it serious to the max, we might get a worthy challenger for Rico after all (except for Badr).

*Hesdy Gerges vs. Chi Lewis-Parry was cancelled
- Official Reason: Lewis-Parry felt sick
- Behind-the-scenes Rumor: Glove taping issue
It all feels very much like excuses as people had doubts this fight would happen for a few weeks now.

So this is the official statement on the Gerges/Parry cancellation: www.glorykickboxing.com/en/news/view/1270This is what's going around on Twitter: So, if the Tweet is the true story, I feel like they should end his contract. |

This event ended up being pretty good. While it didn't help that Gerges/Parry didn't happen, I guess the silver lining is that had it happened, we might have once again had a SFS that was clearly more entertaining than the main card. Now it felt a bit more even. Not that I expected a high level fight, but I was looking forward to Gerges pounding that loudmouth. Oh well. Also I didn't care at all for the tournament, but it did turn out a bit better than expected.
On the plus side we saw both Grigorians dominate, a solid SFS headliner in Sitthichai vs Salvador, an in-shape Jamal Ben Saddik managing to defeat Guto Inocente (giving him his first Glory loss) and got a fun main event in Doumbé vs Kongolo. I have to say though, Doumbé's showboating did get on my nerves a bit as the fight wore on.
I really have to eat some crow when it comes to Kongolo. I remember not liking him at all and being overly harsh on him, but he has improved a ton and has grown on me over his more recent performances.

The story I heard is that they didn't bring in the correct size of 10oz glove for Chi.
They got him ready with the wrong gloves, then realized they were the incorrect gloves. They removed them and then scrambled for another pair of gloves.
Each fighter gets a pair of brand new gloves to ensure that they haven't been tampered with, etc. before the fight. They simply ordered the wrong size for Chi and then brought him a pair of gloves that they didn't have that same level of oversight on. At least that's what I heard. Still not sure why, but it's weird on both sides.
