GLORY Sports International (GSI) announced a kick boxing event scheduled for early December a few weeks back, and last week the company announced that they would be doing another mixed martial arts event on New Years Eve. GSI announced today that they would be combining the two events, and putting on one card to take place on December 31st.
The promotion has changed hands from its original owners, and they haven?t held an MMA event since September of 2011. However, GSI announced via press release that they feel this event will be a relaunch of their martial arts efforts in Japan.
GLORY 4 Tokyo was originally scheduled to take place on Dec 2nd from the Makuhari Messe Complex. After detailed study and consideration GSI strongly believes that combining the two shows will create the largest possible impact to re-launch the Japanese Martial Arts scene and create an event like no other before.
Pierre Andurand the Chairman of GSI commented, ?for us as a company we want to create the most spectacular Martial Arts show Japan has ever seen. After taking over DREAM.18, it just made natural sense to look at the opportunity to revive the traditional New Year’s date and create a MEGA show. We looked at the pros and cons and it was clear that a combined show would be the way to go. We are extremely proud and excited to deliver this Mega show now to the Japanese Fighting fans and to the world at large. I can’t wait to spend my New Year’s Eve at the Saitama Arena?.
