Collision 3 Card Change Notes:
· October 6, 2021: Alistair Overeem withdraws from Glory: Collision 3 heavyweight championship fight vs. Rico Verhoeven due to injury (not serious).
· Heavyweight title fight is replaced with Rico Verhoeven vs Jamal Ben Saddik, which is the pair’s third “trilogy” fight.
First fight in 2011: W: Ben Saddik, 1st round TKO (corner stoppage).
Second fight: 2017 W: Verhoeven stoppage 5th round.
· Coincidentally, Verhoeven vs. Ben Saddik was supposed to happen in January. The fight fell off due to Saddik sustaining a back injury.
· Originally, Ben Saddik was matched for the second time against top contender Benjamin Adegbuyi (W: Ben Saddik – 1st round KO, December 2018).
· With Ben Saddik now fighting Verhoeven, Adegbuyi remains on the main card now, pitted against Antonio Plazibat.
· Plazibat was set to take on James McSweeney, former UFC fighter who, like Overeem, also makes his return to kickboxing after a long absence.
· McSweeney now fights fellow UFC vet and world-class striker Gokhan Saki – marking Saki’s first fight since leaving UFC Octagon in February.
