Premier kickboxing league GLORY today gave fans some news they have long been waiting for: Giorgio ‘The Doctor’ Petrosyan is back in the lightweight division. He makes his return at GLORY 25 MILAN on Friday, November 6.
Petrosyan will face an as-yet unnamed opponent. Hopes are high that Andy ‘The Machine' Ristie will be the one standing opposite him as fans badly want to see a rematch of their GLORY 12 NEW YORK meeting.
That fight ended with Petrosyan suffering the one and only stoppage loss of his career - in fact, only the second loss of his career and the only one that he accepts (the other, a decision lost in Thailand, he maintains was the result of a crooked promoter who deliberately gave him fouled water to drink hours before the fight).
