Setcurenko is throwing a lot of leg kicks with his guard up but it looks like zero power behind them. I'm not sure if he's too hurt to open up or just trying to conserve energy.

There's a rumour that Viacom are going to be buying Glory. I'm not sure I buy it since it's not exactly doing well on TV and they gain nothing from buying it, but Kevin Kay apparently really wants these crossover events and there's definitely something going on behind the scenes.

Kevin Kay believes Bellator is a viable competitor to the UFC.

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
The ratings are doing well compared to Bellator I think. Bellator averages like ~750k viewers when it isn't a circus show of a card and Glory is doing ~500k. I dunno what kind of money they're sinking into Glory already but it can't possibly come close to whatever they paid Tito Ortiz let alone the rest of the Bellator roster.

The problem I see is MMA is a mostly trashy entertainment and attracts the demographic Spike wants so it already fits with their programming while kickboxing is a gentleman's sport and might be too classy for American audiences. Viacom purchasing Glory would be a good thing for the company but it wouldn't be long before Rico Verhoeven is hitting people with fake hammers.

i was kidding. Well, sort of. Glory has done a good job of presenting kickboxing as a sport rather than something that should come on after Cops or Tattoo Whores or video game awards or whatever junky TV they air on Spike all the time. Viacom probably wouldn't mess with Glory too much but I wouldn't be surprised if they pushed it a little more towards pro wrestling & reality TV, like they did with Bellator.

Did you not see the video packages for the Zimmerman/Verhoeven rematch on the last show? That was straight up pro wrestling match booking.

Just listening to a pro wrestling podcast (mlw radio) and Court Bauer who represents Alberto Del Rio mentioned a huge fight for June in Glory. Assuming this will be ADR fighting for Glory.
