Hola Ariel,
Your thoughts on GLORY Collision 4 and especially the Badr Hari vs Alistair Overeem fight?
I attended the event and the fights were great! Had a very good time there.
Absolutely tremendous atmosphere aswell with the whole “Badr Army” attending the event.
Also, what do you think about the Rico Verhoeven - Alistair Overeem matchup that is likely next for GLORY Collision 5?
They already had a little altercation in the ring after Reem’s victory over Badr, where imo Rico acted a little over the top, but Reem handled that pretty well.
Shortly after while still being in the ring, Badr announced that he’s thinking about retirement with the whole crowd applauding him.
Very special moment..

👋 Hola Ariel!!!
Let’s fast forward to this weekend and to the long awaited main event fight between Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev. Hypothetically if Oliveira where to not only win but do so in spectacular fashion and finish Islam, how would you write his post fight promo if given the chance?
Do you take advantage of having Khabib being present in the corner of his defeated protege in his own backyard and call him out? Do you call out Volkanovski for stepping up to the plate? Would you seek the money fight with McGregor? Would you just state your claim as champion and leave it open? Truly feels like there’s just so many ways Charles can decide to take it if he were to remain champion.
