On Friday, July 22, GLORY kickboxing returned to Virginia for its 32nd event. The card took place from the Ted Constant Convocation Center in Norfolk, Va.
In the night’s main event, featherweight champion Serhiy Adamchuk rematched the man he defeated to capture the belt, Gabriel Varga. The Ukrainian Adamchuk defended the belt in March against Mosab Amrani. He then moved up in weight to defeat Mohammed El Mir in April. Canada’s Varga, meanwhile, rebounded from his title defeat to edge Liu Wei in China.
The card also featured a one-night, four-man light heavyweight contender tournament featuring Warren Thompson, Zinedine Hameur-Lain, Pavel Zhuravlev and Ariel Machado.
The GLORY 32 Super Fight Series kicked off Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET on UFC Fight Pass. The GLORY 32 main card streamed live at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN 3.
