By Mike Dyce
All the fighters stepped on the scale and made weight for Glory Kickboxing’s event in Chicago, including the two title fights on the card.
Glory returns to Chicago for the fifth time with two title fights. The event will stream live in two spots. Glory 50 SuperFight Series will stream live on UFC Fight Pass at 8:30 p.m. ET. The main Glory 50 card will stream live on ESPN 3 at 11 p.m. ET.
Welterweight champion Murthel Groenhart will defend his belt against Harut Grigorian in the main event of Glory 50. Groenhart won the belt in the Chicago area and is making his first title defense in Chicago, a city that clearly brings some luck.
The two have fought twice before. At Glory 42: Paris, Groenhart defeated Grigorian with a second-round KO when Groenhart hit Grigorian with his back turned. Way back at K-1 World MAX 2012 World Championship Tournament Final 16 in 2012, Groenhart defeated Grigorian with a third-round KO.
