GLORY and ONE FC Form Partnership; Will Share Fighters

by Shawn M. Smith on November 28, 2012

In a move that will bolster Asian MMA, ONE FC and GLORY will now share fighters among their network of promotions. This includes organizations such as DREAM, CFC, URCC, and Road FC. This partnership will begin in earnest with the GLORY 4/DREAM.18 New Year’s Eve show.

With the Asian market beginning to recover from the loss of PRIDE, this move can only put regionalized MMA back on the map. The initial NYE show will surely be a great one and we’ll now see more cooperation to create a global promotion worth taking note of.

GLORY Sports International presents Dream 18 & Glory 4 Tokyo ~ Special 2012 ~ New Year’s Eve will be held on December 31, 2012 at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
