Nieky 'The Natural' Holzken defended the GLORY welterweight title on Friday night with a split-decision win over his rival Murthel 'The Predator' Groenhart in the main event of GLORY 26 AMSTERDAM. A war of words preceded the bout but in his post-fight interview, Holzken declared the beef to be over.
The decision itself has sparked some controversy however, with many fans agreeing with one of the judges that the decision should have gone Groenhart's way rather than Holzken's. But with two of the three judges seeing it for Holzken, he retains the title belt and goes into 2016 as champion.
