GLORY Sports International, parent company of the GLORY World Series premier kickboxing league, today confirmed that GLORY 19: VERHOEVEN vs. ZIMMERMAN will take place Friday, February 6 at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia, USA.

The main event will feature a heavyweight title fight between current champion Rico Verhoeven and the GLORY 16 contender tournament winner, Errol "Bonecrusher" Zimmerman.

Of course, the staple of GLORY cards continues with another one-night, four man tournament, and this time it will be a contender tournament for the welterweight title. The winner will take on current GLORY welterweight champion "Bazooka" Joe Valtellini.

The semifinals are Nieky Holzken vs. Artur Kyshenko and Raymond Daniels vs. Jonatan Oliveira. There are storylines aplenty in this tournament. Holzken defeated current champion Valtellini in the GLORY 12 tournament last December and Kyshenko defeated Holzken by decision in May of 2011. The Ukrainian won his last GLORY match up at GLORY 14 in Zagreb against Karapet Karapetyan by unanimous decision.

Best fight promotion out right now imo. Great match-up this, I see Verhoeven taking a decision, but Zimmerman packs KO power. Great stuff.

Thanks for making these stickies ahead of time. It serves as a reminder for me for upcoming events. Great to see a few of the upcoming events with just a quick glance of the main forum.

Bump. Let's try to get 50+ in this discussion thread tomorrow night! If you're not a big kickboxing fan, tune into this event because GLORY never disappoints.

If you are a combat sports fan and you are not watching every Glory card on tv...........well, you might need to reevaluate your life.

I'm really enjoying Glory events but cant help myself from feeling like it's missing a huge piece do to its ruleset. Like the limited clinch stuff for example. Regardless, I'll be tuning in.
