Three more fights have been added to the card. Of the three fights added, two are in the 70kg division, and they both involve highly ranked fighters in the promotion. Murthel Groenhart will take on Davit Kiria, and Jordan Watson will fight Albert Kraus. These two 70kg fights join the already announced Robin van Roosmalen vs. Shemsi Beqiri fight on the card. As well, a heavyweight fight between Brice Guidon and the brother of tournament participant Jason Wilnis, Jahfarr Wilnis, was added to the card.

Two more fights have been confirmed today for the GLORY 10 event taking place in Los Angeles, California on Sunday, September 28. Randy ‘Boom Boom’ Blake (31-2, 13 KO’s) and Brian Collette (20-1, 16 KOs) are two of America’s top light-heavyweights. They are set to face each other in a battle which will do much to determine who is at the top of the US 205lb rankings.

At 155lbs, two of the lightweight division’s brightest rising stars will meet for what is a hugely important fight. Andy Ristie (38-3-1, 19 KO’s) has been on an inexorable rise towards top contender status while young Sanny Dahlbeck of Sweden (25-5, 15 KO’s) has burst onto the scene with standout performances which have marked him out as one to watch.

Brice Guidon vs Jahfarr Wilnis


A heavyweight superfight between Jahfarr Wilnis and Brice 'Nectar' Guidon was confirmed for the GLORY 10 card taking place in Los Angeles, California on Saturday September 28.

The fight pits hard-hitting knockout artist Wilnis (17-3-1, 4 KO’s), a Dutchman of Surinamese descent, against French technician Guidon (28-9-0, 13 KO’s). With Wilnis ranked at #17 in the official heavyweight rankings and Guidon at #12, the fight is crucial for the top-ten ambitions of both men.

“Guidon has had a hard run in his last three outings. He had back-to-back fights with GLORY Heavyweight Champion Semmy Schilt, followed by a fight with Daniel Ghita, world #2 at the time. Now he’s facing someone from the mid-tier and it’s a chance for him to show his skills and show he belongs at this level,” says GLORY matchmaker Cor Hemmers.

“Guidon is a top fighter, he has had some good fights in the past with guys like Gokhan Saki, but he’s been fighting only the very top guys in GLORY. This is a critical fight for him – it’s a good test but he needs a win.

“For Wilnis the fight is a chance to take out a higher-ranked, bigger-name. If he can dominate the fight or can stop Guidon it’s going to do a lot for his confidence and will move him well up the rankings. For Guidon it’s crucial to get the victory and for Wilnis there is a lot to be gained, so they are both going to go for it.”

Guidon, 27, hails from the historic French city of Tours. He started training at 12 years old in the native French kick-fighting art of Savate before switching to Muay Thai in his late teens. Not long afterwards he moved to Amsterdam in the Netherlands and joined the venerable Meijiro Gym, which has housed Remy Bonjasky, Rob Kaman, Andy Souwer and Michael Duut among others.

Wilnis comes from Utrecht in the Netherlands and fights out of Colosseum Gym, where he is currently a training partner of Peter Aerts. He comes from a fighting family; his younger brother Jason is also on the GLORY 10 card, taking part in the four-man middleweight tournament.

GLORY 10 takes place at the Citizens Bank Arena in Los Angeles, California on Saturday September 28. The event’s centerpiece is a four-man middleweight tournament featuring world-ranked #1 Artem Levin, Muay Thai wrecking machine Steve Wakeling, American standout Joe Schilling and young Dutch prospect Jason Wilnis.
