D’Angelo Marshall vs. Demoreo Dennis Headlines GLORY 63 SuperFight Series
GLORY today announced brand new bouts to be featured when the promotion kicks off its 2019 schedule with GLORY 63 Houston, GLORY 63 SuperFight Series and the GLORY 63 prelims from Arena Theatre in Texas on Friday, Feb. 1.
GLORY 63 SuperFight Series has added a heavyweight headliner, with No. 6-ranked D’Angelo “Big Poppa” Marshall (18-4, 10 KO, fighting out of the Netherlands) welcoming American kickboxer and mixed martial artist “Super” Demoreo Dennis (11-7, 9 KO, fighting out of the United States) back to the GLORY ring.
The GLORY 63 SuperFight Series co-headline bout pits middleweight Matt “The Butcher” Baker (22-6, 11 KO, fighting out of the United States) up against undefeated Ryot “ The Game Changer” Waller (2-0, 1 KO, fighting out of the United States).
Both fighters won by third-round knockout in their last appearances, with No. 8-ranked Baker stopping Thomas Jenkins at GLORY 58 SuperFight Series in September and Waller finishing Zack Wells at GLORY 56 SuperFight Series in August.
Earlier this week, GLORY signed three-time IFMA gold medalist Bekah Irwin, an 18-year-old Muay Thai prodigy training out of Heritage Muay Thai in Houston. Irwin will make her professional debut at GLORY 63 SuperFight Series, competing against a super bantamweight opponent to be announced shortly.
Undefeated featherweight Abraham ‘Ham’ Vidales (12-0, 10 KO, fighting out of Mexico), fresh off a first-round knockout against Houssam El Kasri during the GLORY 61 prelims in November, gets GLORY 63 SuperFight Series underway.
