Match ups announced for Glory 8: Tokyo 143lb tournament

The draw for the Glory 143lb tournament taking place at Glory 8: Tokyo took place last week and the match ups are set. Most people are probably interested in the potential re-match between Mosab Amrani and Liam Harrison. Amrani knocked out Harrison with a body shot in the first round, and it seems the pair will meet again if they can both get past their quarterfinal bouts. Amrani will square off with Marcus Vinicius and Harrison with Masaaki Noiri. On the opposite side of the bracket Adellah Ezbiri will fight Gabriel Varga, and Yuta Kubo will fight Chi Bin Lim. Amrani and Harrison have to be considered the favorites going in, but as always in the tournament format anything can happen.

Also on the fight card Kickboxing legend Jerome Le Banner will fight against Koichi Pettas. Other match up on the event include Peter Aerts vs. Jamal Ben Saddik, Albert Kraus vs. Andy Ristie, and Anderson Silva vs. Jaideep Singh. Another stacked fight card from Glory that should produce fire works.
