Glory has confirmed two more fights for Glory 12 including their main event. Jamal Ben Saddik vs. Ben Edwards will take top billing at Glory 12 in the night's main event. The tournament reserve bout will feature Ky Hollenbeck vs. Shemsi Beqiri. The winner of Hollenbeck and Bequiri would replace any of the winning fighters in the Glory lightweight tournament if they can't continue in the tournament for whatever reason, most likely injury.
Saddik will be looking to avoid a three fight losing streak against Edwards. He has lost his last two fights by (T)KO to Daniel Ghita and Peter Aerts. Edwards will be making his Glory debut and will be looking to build on his current three fight win streak.
Hollenbeck will look to compete for the second time since returning from ACL surgery. His first fight back took place at Glory 10 when he stepped up to face Albert Kraus on short notice, winning a unanimous decision. Beqiri will be looking to end a two fight skid after losing a unanimous decision to Robin van Roosmalen.
As previously announced the Glory 12 lightweight tournament will feature Giorgio Petrosyan vs. Andy Ristie, and Robin van Roosmalen vs. Davit Kiria. Glory 12 will take place Saturday November 23rd in New York.
