The vacant GLORY light heavyweight championship will be decided at GLORY 104: Last Heavyweight Standing as former champion Tarik Khbabez (52-12-1, 28 KO) collides with the wild & unpredictable Bahram Rajabzadeh (72-5, 64 KO) on October 11 from the RTM Stage in the Netherlands.
Khbabez originally won the title from and defended it against Donegi Abena in 2024 but then dropped it to Sergej Maslobojev at the historic GLORY 100 earlier this year. However, as announced earlier this week, Maslobojev vacated the title pending an investigation into his positive drug test.
As a result, Khbabez gets an immediate chance to recapture GLORY gold and build upon his legacy as one of the division’s best & most exciting champions.
‘The Tank’ has an incredible 28 career knockouts and now he goes up against another KO artist in ‘The Golden Wolf’ Bahram Rajabzadeh.
Bahram has become a huge fan favourite due to his crazy fighting style and highlight reel finishes. After returning to GLORY in 2023, the 34-year-old would go on to fight in both the Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight Grand Prix events terrorizing fighters from both divisions. He now boasts knockout finishes in all six of his past victories.
Despite Bahram’s performances in the ring, an elusive title shot has avoided him until now, and it could not come at a better time as fans have dreamed of a fight between Khbabez and Bahram for almost two years now.
Vainqueur aux points (après avoir été compté à la première reprise) : Tarik Khbabez !
