GLORY 33 ratings: 517,000 viewers watch on ESPN2 as kickboxing promotion continues to build momentum in 2016

GLORY 33 was the ninth GLORY card to air on ESPN programming last Friday (Sept. 9, 2016) and the first ever to air live on ESPN2.

According to SportsTVRatings.com, 517,000 viewers tuned in to watch GLORY 33 and see Rico Verhoeven defend his heavyweight belt a fifth time in his technical knockout win over Anderson "Braddock" Silva in Trenton, NJ. That number ties the third-highest watched GLORY card of all time, GLORY 21, which aired on Spike TV in May of 2015.

It's important to note that those were the numbers measured from 11:58 p.
