In basically the only GLORY kickboxing match that actually featured GLORY kickboxers, Saulo Cavalari took on Zack Mwekassa. Cavalari seemed to be the aggressor, landing some nice kicks to start the fight. The real action started in the second round. Cavalari came out with a bunch go heavy kicks to the body and leg. At one point it looked like Zack might have gotten hurt. He also dropped him with a big head kick, but that might have been more of a slip. They continued to scrap. Towards the mid point of the round the referee stopped it and took a point from Cavalari, for holding? That was weird.

In the second GLORY kickboxing match we saw lightweights Serhiy Adamchuck and Anvar Boynazarov go to work. There was a big of a feeling out process at the start. Adamchuck landed first, then it was Anvar who landed a heavy body kick. Both of these guys were very technical. It was Anvar who seemed to be walking Adamchuck down, plotting forward. They clinched briefly a few times. Anvar’s pace was pretty slow, but he kept the pressure on.
