GLORY 29 preview and predictions for 'Holzken vs Kongolo' on ESPN3

GLORY will hold its second-consecutive card in Europe on Saturday (April 16, 2016) when it invades Copenhagen, Denmark for GLORY 29.

The five-fight main card takes place at Forum Copenhagen and will air live on ESPN 3 starting at 4 p.m. ET. The main event features a welterweight title fight between current champion, Nieky Holzken (88-1) and Yoann Kongolo (61-6).

"The Natural" successfully defended his crown against Murthel Groenhart at GLORY 26, edging "The Predator" by split decision. Kongolo fought on the Superfight Series portion of that card and won a majority decision over Karapet Karapetyan.

In the co-main event, featherweight champion Serhiy Adamchuk (32-5) is stepping in for Niclas Larsen--who withdrew due to an infection--and moving up a weight class to take on Mohammed El-Mir (113-21).
