[sugarngold]

Since the DREAM/GLORY NYE event is coming around the corner I figured I'd post the tentative fight card. As usual, the event will feature both MMA and kickboxing.

awesome card
looking forward to Kharitonov + Manhoef + Aoki

[Vic-JofreBRASIL]

Looks pretty good.

[HeGlassedMe]

That's Wendy Whoppers stacked

[Rob_Floyd]

The Glory tournament is a great addition.

This looks much better than last years NYE event.

[Rob_Floyd]

Aoki will be fighting Antonio McKee, not Will Brooks. A far more compelling fight, I must say.

[LHL]

Something tells me Kang is in for a big kickin'.
Any news on Kawajiri's opponent. He's been on a good run lately

[Ne5ville14]

Yep thx guys, this will be a nice addition to the end of the year prediction league

[Travis Fulton]

wow didnt even know that Remy Bonjasky was still active
i thought his last fight was the semy schilt loss

looks like he fought anderson silva (kickboxer) recently

Interesting that Remy's been added. As he's supposed to be fighting on a GLORY bill in London next year. Really looking forward to NYE though. Manhoef by KO!!

Spong/Bonjasky was pulled from the London card because of this NYE show.

Any idea if the GLORY card in London is still on?

[Rob_Floyd]

As far as I know it is. Just looked it up and found this:

Tickets for the March 23 event will go on sale soon and the full card will be announced in the near future. The headliners are supported by a stellar card which includes two of the UK’s top talents taking on strong international opposition.



Jordan Watson (29-5-1, 14 KO’s) and Liam Harrison (67-13-2, 38 KO’s), of the Bad Company team in Leeds, have carved their reputations in the fighting rings of Thailand and around the world. In March, Watson will face the Australian knockout machine ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Moxon (29-4-1, 16 KO’s) while his team mate Harrison faces the Dutch-Moroccan technician Mosab ‘Jaguar’ Amrani (48-7-4, 14 KO’s).

Hopefully they can find a nice main event to replace Spong/Bonjasky.
