Both
Walker and Ambang will be looking to get back on the winning track.
Each fighter lost their last fight by (T)KO due to leg kicks. Walker at Glory 5 against Steve Wakeling, and Ambang at Glory 9 against Joseph Valtellini. Both are known for their heavy hands and it should be an exciting fight between two heavy hitters.

Vakhitov will be looking to build on his impressive win at Glory 9 where he made his promotional debut with a body shot knockout over Luis Tavares. Pagonis will look to have an impressive promotional debut as he steps into the Glory ring for the first time.
Jacoby made his pro Kickboxing debut by winning the Road to Glory light heavyweight tournament. Formerly an MMA fighter, Jacoby has done well building a solid 4-2 mark for Glory. His last competed at Glory 9 where he went 1-1 on the night in the Glory light heavyweight tournament, beating Brian Collette in the quarter finals and losing to Danyo Ilunga in the semi-finals.
