Rico Verhoeven looking forward to 'street fight' with Anderson Silva at GLORY 33

Anderson 'Braddock' Silva has said he intends to make this weekend's fight with GLORY heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven a "street fight." Verhoeven welcomes the challenge and is promising to beat the Brazilian at his own game on Friday night.

GLORY heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven is probably the most technically proficient fighter that heavyweight kickboxing has ever produced. He started training at five years old under his karate black belt father and these days supplements his grueling kickboxing regimen with regular training sessions alongside world heavyweight boxing champion, Tyson Fury. But on Friday night, he will apparently be having a street fight.
