Major event of the evening of Glory 78 light heavyweight title fight Glory, rematch.
Alex Pereira
Glory Double Middle and Light Heavyweight Champion, Brazilian, 34, Professional Kickboxing Record 32-6 (21 KOs). Alex has very impressive dimensions – his height is 194 cm, his arm span is as much as 204 cm. Pereira has dominated kickboxing for a long time and is currently one of the best fighters in Glory. The Brazilian has knocked out almost the entire roster of middleweights and light heavyweights, including the unbeaten, dominant UFC champion Israel Adesanya – Alex knocked him out in 2017.
Artem Vakhitov
30-year-old Russian fighter from the city of Prokopyevsk, professional kickboxing record 21-6 (8 KOs), former Glory light heavyweight champion. Artyom is a very technical kickboxer, he does not have such dimensions as his opponent (Artyom’s height is 186 cm, arms span is 189 cm), but this does not prevent him from successfully approaching opponents and acting at medium and close distances. For a long time, Artem was the champion of Glory, then in 2019 he was injured and did not play for more than a year, and finally in January 2021 he faced the champion of the middle weight category and lost to that by a very controversial decision of the judges.

Forecast for the fight
The fighters met only six months ago, whoever has a desire, watch this fight, it turned out to be very equal, and yet the Brazilian won the victory by a separate decision, which caused indignation among many (even the President of Glory did not agree with this verdict and promised to arrange a quick revenge). Pereira took advantage of his size and struck a lot of punches, but most of them were on defense, while Vakhitov broke through to close range and delivered accurate shots to the head. In my opinion, Artyom allowed the Brazilian to work too much, and this time he will take into account past mistakes and from the very first seconds he will actively interrupt his counterpart. I think Artem Vakhitov will shoot Alex Pereira and, as a result, will return his championship belt. Even more predictions in my telegram channel (subscribe – link in the profile header).
