Rico Verhoeven will defend his heavyweight championship when he completes his trilogy with Jamal Ben Saddik in the Glory 79 “Collision 3” main event on Saturday at the GelreDome in Arnhem, Netherlands. The two men split their two previous meetings: Saddik won via corner stoppage in the second round of their March 6, 2011 encounter, while Verhoeven earned a fifth-round technical knockout in their Dec. 9, 2017 rematch.
Glory 79—which will stream live to glorykickboxing.com pay-per-view at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT—will also feature a heavyweight co-headliner between the returning Gokhan Saki and James McSweeney, a welterweight affair slotting Mohamed Mezouari opposite Samuel Dbili, a heavyweight encounter matching Benjamin Adegbuyi with Antonio Plazibat and a pair of light heavyweight tilts, as Donegi Abena confronts Sergej Maslobojev and Michael Duut challenges John King. The four-fight undercard will stream in its entirety to the Sherdog YouTube page at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT.
