K-1/Dutch Kickboxing Weekend: Glory World Series, Slamm!, and K-1 Rising…where will you be?!

So pardon the cheesy Dutch centric header graphic but honestly I had it lying around in my personal library of utterly pointless designs. And given this weekends back to back K-1 style/Dutch Kickboxing events, it was apropos. Needless to say, Peter Aerts will not be fighting this weekend and I’m pretty sure he won’t be kicking any Dutch women wearing traditional garb in the head,…well at least not that I am aware of. Also, while not all of this weekend’s kickboxing festivities are taking place in Holland, they do feature some of the world’s best kickboxers including many from…you guessed it…Holland. The excitement kicks off tomorrow in Stockholm, Sweden as Glory presents their Glory World Series 16-man Elimination Tournament. Here is a list of the incredible face-melting match-ups that will be on the Glory World series card: Glory 16-Man Tournament – May 26th – Stockholm, Sweden 70kg tournament fights: Giorgio Petrosyan (Italy) vs Fabio Pinca (France) Max Vorovski (Estonia) vs Sanny Dahlbeck (Sweden) Robin van Roosmalen (Netherlands) vs Dzhabar Askerov (Russia) Ky Hollenback (USA) vs Michael Corley (USA) Yoshihiro Sato (Japan) vs Shemsi Beqiri (Switserland) Dennis Schneidmiller (Germany) vs Qi Chenglong (China) Kem Sitsongpeenong (Thailand) vs Cosmo Alexandre (Brasil) Albert Kraus (Netherlands) vs Mohamed El Mir (Denmark) Super Fights: Nieky Holzken vs Alex Harris (Sweden) Semmy Schilt (Netherlands) vs Errol Zimmerman (Curacao) Luckily for all of you combat hungry fight fans, a live internet stream for the Glory World Series event will be available.

Mike Zambidis is a monster!

This past weekend my platonic relationship with K-1 became one of love and hate. Love, because for many years they have provided me with top flight kickboxing entertainment. Hate, because they decided to bundle the excitement of the heavyweight K-1 WGP Final 16 with the explosive insanity of the K-1 MAX Final 16. 2 nights of back to back kickboxing action. Of course being that I live in Florida and Japan is, oh I don’t know, thousands of miles away, this meant I would have to stay up from 2 am until 5:30 am on both Friday and Saturday in order to catch the fights live. I didn’t take a nap or get to sleep early in order to wake up at 2:00 am and after a night of hanging with my mates and drinking a few beers too many, I was needless to say tired…very tired. Now, I’m not going to break down every fight or give all of the results from both events because I will be doing that in a separate post. This post is all about “Zambo”, “Iron Mike”, you know, the 5’4″ tall wrecking machine otherwise known as Mike Zambidis. Now, it’s well known that Zambidis is an explosive pitbull of a small man with knockout power in both hands.
