Glory 13 will take place December 21, 2013 at the Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo, Japan. Glory 13 will be the final event of 2013 for Glory Sports International. The event will feature another one of Glory's championship tournaments, this time with the welterweight division being at the helm.
Three of Glory's top four ranked welterweight's will be competing in the night's tournament. Nieky Holzken (ranked number one), Joseph Valtellini (ranked number two, and Karapet Kareptyan (ranked number four) will all be hungry to capture the tournament crown and the $150,000 grand prize. American Raymond Daniels will look to follow in the foots steps of Joe Schilling, Rico Verhoeven, and Andy Ristie by having his Cinderella story come true and winning the tournament against the upper echelon of Glory's welterweight division.
The night's Main event will feature a bout between Kickboxing legend Peter Aerts and recent Glory heavyweight tournament champion Rico Verhoeven. Aerts will look to continue to defy father time with a win over the young and dynamic Verhoeven, who in return will try to add a victory over a legendary name such as Aerts to his list of accomplishments.
In the co-main event Romanian power house Daniel Ghita will look to rebound for his recent loss in the Glory heavyweight tournament finals against heavy hitting Errol Zimmerman. The pair previously met in 2010 under the K-1 banner when Ghita knocked out Zimmerman. You can bet Zimmerman has revenge on his mind and will try to return the favor this time around.
As expected the remainder of the Glory fight card will feature some of Kickboxing's most talented names including Yuta Kubo, Mosab Amrani, Karim Ghajji, Jerome Le Banner and Remy Bonjasky to name a few.
