Headlining GLORY 45 Amsterdam is one of the most decorated fighters on the GLORY roster, reigning featherweight and former lightweight world champion Robin "Pokerface" van Roosmalen (38-7, 21 KO, fighting out of the Netherlands).
 
The Dutch champion will defend his featherweight title against Ukrainian-born No. 1 contender Serhiy Adamchuk (35-8, 14 KO, fighting out of the Netherlands), who impressively defeated Dylan Salvador at GLORY 42 Paris in June.

Long-standing welterweight kingpin Nieky "The Natural" Holzken (90-13, 46 KO, fighting out of the Netherlands), ranked No. 4, will fight with top welterweight prospect Alim "Professor" Nabiyev (45-6, 21 KO, fighting out of Russia) in the GLORY 45 Amsterdam co-headline bout.

GLORY 45 Amsterdam will also feature a one-night, four-man light heavyweight contender tournament in order to identify the division’s top challengers.
 
In the first of two semifinal match-ups, 19-year-old Dutch-Moroccan Imad “The Problem Child” Hadar (19-1, 7 KO, fighting out of the Netherlands) looks to bounce back after suffering his first defeat, as he takes on powerful American Manny Mancha (5-2, 4 KO, fighting out of the United States), currently ranked No. 8.
 
Veteran light heavyweight Michael “Dreamcrusher” Duut (40-8, 17 KO, fighting out of the Netherlands) will fight in the other tournament semifinal bout against  Moldovan-born newcomer Dragos Zubco (11-4, fighting out of Italy) to GLORY in the opening round.

Before GLORY 45 Amsterdam, GLORY 45 SuperFight Series showcases some of GLORY’s up-and-coming talent.

Top 10 heavyweights collide in the GLORY 45 SuperFight Series headline bout as No. 7-ranked Hesdy "Fighterheart" Gerges (50-18-1, 23 KO, fighting out of the Netherlands) meets Mladen "The Scorpion Sting" Brestovac (53-12-1, 34 KO, fighting out of Croatia), ranked No 9.

Gerges is coming off a win over Tomas Hron at GLORY 41 Holland in May, while Brestovac last competed in a heavyweight contender tournament at GLORY 35 Nice, knocking out Jahfarr Wilnis before falling valiantly to tournament favorite Benjamin Adegbuyi.
 
Former GLORY middleweight world champion, now No. 1 contender Jason “Psycho” Wilnis (30-7-1, 8 KO, fighting out of the Netherlands) begins his climb back to the belt in a showdown with 25-year-old Dutch-Tunisian Yousri Belgaroui (22-3, 10 KO, fighting out of the Netherlands), standing right behind Wilnis at No. 2 in the division.

Was hoping to see RVR doing more MMA.
