GLORY closes out its 2025 schedule this weekend as a lineup of elite contenders arrives in the Netherlands for COLLISION 8.
GLORY COLLISION 8 goes down live from Arnhem, The Netherlands, on Saturday, 13 December, with the main card on PPV from 18:00 GMT, available through DAZN.
Antonio Plazibat has been out of action since his 2023 interim title loss to Tariq Osaro, a fight in which the Croatian suffered a broken arm, but he is now ready to return to the ring, and his opponent is a familiar foe.
Nordine Mahieddine was Plazibat’s first opponent inside the GLORY ropes back at GLORY 66 Paris, in which the Croat won a unanimous decision, but old rivalries were renewed the following year where a punishing contest saw the Frenchman’s hand raised after an extra round.
Now they meet for a third time, with the prize being the final spot in GLORY’s Last Heavyweight standing tournament next year.
Also on the card are two one-night tournaments at light heavyweight and welterweight which see champions and contenders collide in an effort to position themselves at the top of the tree going into Christmas.
At welterweight, current and former champions Chico Kwasi and Endy Semeleer will meet Teodor Hristov and Don Sno, whereas light heavyweight matches up Cem Caceres and Michael Boapeah against Milos Cvjeticanin and Iuri Fernandes. An injury sidelined divisional great Artem Vakhitov, postponing his push back toward the top for another time.
Finally, down at featherweight we will see the second round of the GLORY X RISE Last Featherweight Standing Tournament. Current GLORY Featherweight Champion Petchpanomrung takes on Denis Wosik, Miguel Trindade will face Bobo Sacko and Abraham Vidales will welcome Achraf Aasila to the GLORY ring.
