The event, which was originally announced as taking place June 14 in the Netherlands, will now take place across two days, with the event running across Friday June 13 and Saturday June 14.
The show also now has a confirmed venue, with the show set to play out at one of the homes of Dutch kickboxing, Rotterham Ahoy. And with Rico Verhoeven taking on Artem Vakhitov in Day 2’s main event, a second headline bout has also been officially announced.
Day 1 of the two-day spectacular will feature a hotly-anticipated rematch between GLORY light heavyweight champion Tarik Khbabez and former champion Sergej Maslobojev as its main event.
The bout, dubbed “Unfinished Business,” will see the pair clash for the second time, with current champ Khbabez looking to avenge his 2022 split-decision defeat to Maslobojev at COLLISION 4 in a fight that saw the Lithuanian star capture the vacant title in GLORY’s “Fight of the Year”.
Maslobojev lost his title in somewhat controversial circumstances after his bout with Donegi Abena was stopped due to a cut on Maslobojev’s shin. It saw him lose via injury TKO, despite him wanting to continue, as he also lost his title in frustrating fashion.
Now he’s looking to reclaim his throne, and will have to go through a familiar foe to do so, with Khabez capturing the light heavyweight crown with a split-decision win over Abena at the GLORY Heavyweight Grand Prix in March 2024.
GLORY 100 will also feature the second round of the Last Heavyweight Standing tournament, with the winners from GLORY 99’s first-round tournament bouts set for action.
