Ben saddik is 198 cm tall, not 205cm. There is a photo with him and Badr that he posted on his facebook a few years ago and badr was about 1 cm taller than saddik. Also Sadik looked around 2 cm shorter than gerges. Rico is 196cm but he had shoes and sadik was barefoot. I've seen JBS listed as over 200cm before as well. Just shows that apparently it's really hard for promotions to get their facts straight. #professionalism I think it's JBS that is lying in this case. He is calling himself the Goliath, so he claims to be taller to get him closer to his nickname. I remember bob sapp being listed 205 cm when he fought in japan and even claiming that himself in a interview , but he is in reality 195cm lol |

Yeah, promotions often like to exaggerate as well. They could however, you know, just measure his height. lol

Haha Fred Royers doesn't seem to agree. I must admit I didn't pay enough attention to judge fairly.

The funny thing was that he looked MASSIVE against innocente, like he is two weight classes above and then comes the mothership Verhoeven in the ring that is supposed to be quite smaller than the biggest fighter in the promotion and oops. WHERE IS THE DIFFERENCE ?  |

Must be really frustrating to fight an annoying guy like Doumbé and not being able to catch him.

I liked the fight, but I got annoyed as Doumbé was more showboating than fighting in the last two rounds.

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.
