Venue: CR Shenzhen Bay Sports Center Arena
Glory makes its return to China for the Shenzhen Showdown as the world's best Lightweight - "Killer Kid" Sittichai puts his belt on the line against longtime rival, No 1 ranked Marat Grigorian. Glory, the world's premier stand-up combat league, will hold Glory 57 SuperFight Series and Glory 57 Numbered Series at the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center on Aug 25. The headline fight of Glory 57 is a fourth meeting between lightweight champion "Killer Kid" Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong (120-30-5, 32 KO, fighting out of Thailand) and challenger Marat Grigorian (59-10-2, 35 KO, fighting out of the Netherlands). Sitthichai has defended the lightweight title four times since capturing it in June of 2016, bringing his overall Glory record to an astonishing 9-1 and cementing his place as the top lightweight in the world. Following three decision losses to the champion, Grigorian will look to change the momentum of this series. The Armenian-Belgian star appears to be peaking, entering the bout on a seven-fight winning streak.
