Glory 6 takes place this weekend in Istanbul, Turkey and as usual Glory is bringing some serious talent to the card. There are several interesting bouts on Glory 6, but were going to focus on the three fights that we feel are cannot miss fights. You can purchase a stream for Glory 6 this weekend on the official Glory website.
Gokhan Saki vs. Daniel Ghita
This is a re-match of their 2010 bout which Saki won in an extra round decision. The winner of this bout takes a big step up the Glory Heavyweight ladder and there are some interesting possibilities. Tyrone Spong has expressed interest in fighting both fighters, it would be even more interesting if Saki wins and he fights Spong. He knocked out Spong in 2009. Both fighters throw heavy leather and nothing less than an exciting bout featuring two of the elite heavyweights in the world should be expected, and as always when dealing with heavyweights the changes of a knockout happening are significantly higher.
Joseph Valtellini vs. Murat Direkci
North American fans should be excited to see Valtellini’s Glory debut. Known as a heavy hitter that pieces together great combinations, Valtellini definitely has his work cut out for him. Direkci has ten times the amount of fights Valtellini has and he has been in the ring with some of the best. Direkci has been in the ring with some of the best including Nieky Holzken, Artur Kyshenko, and Robin van Roosmalen. Coming off of four consecutive losses, Direkci will definitely be looking to welcome Valtellini to the big show and add knockout number 58 to his resume. If Valtellini can pull out the win it will be a huge arrival for him on the international stage, not only because he beat a legitimate more experienced fighter, but because the international kickboxing scene will get to witness his exciting fighting style.
Nieky Holzken vs. Karim Ghajji
Holzken is always and exciting and dangerous fighter and he will be looking to stop the surging Ghajji who is currently riding a seven fight win streak. He scored an exciting and huge knockout over Thai powerhouse Aikpracha Meenayothin this past February and adding a name like Holzken’s to his resume would only continue to move Ghajji up the kickboxing ladder. Both guys have knockout out power and both like to let their limbs fly in the ring. This could end up easily being the fight of the night.
