Warren Stevelmans replaces Shemsi Beqiri against Ky Hollenbeck at Glory 12 this weekend

Ky Hollenbeck and Shemsi Beqiri were set to face off in the tournament reserve bout of the Glory 12 lightweight tournament this weekend in New York, but Beqiri has withdrawn from the bout for reasons unknown. Stepping in to replace Beqiri is Warren Stevelmans. 

Hollenbeck will look to win his second bout in as many fights after returning from ACL surgery. He returned from his surgery at Glory 10 on short notice to defeat Albert Kraus by decision. Stevelmans has fought a who's who in his career, but is currently on a three fight losing streak. His last appearance for Glory was a decision loss to Albert Kraus at Glory 5. 

Glory 12 takes place this Saturday at the theater at Madison Square Garden in New York, NY.
