GLORY rolls into Norfolk, Virginia this weekend with an ESPN-airing card which features a four-man light heavyweight contender tournament and a featherweight title fight between two of the most technical kickboxers in the game. The tournament participants are all newcomers or recent arrivals to the GLORY roster, but one in particular is exciting interest among the hardcore fanbase: Pavel Zhuravlev is a beast and long overdue in the organization.
The tournament was really late in being announced. Former champion Saulo Cavalari didn't get his visa application in with time enough for it to be processed and that left Zhuravlev without an opponent.
