Glory 78 Weigh-in Results: Hari, Wrzosek Nearly Brawl at Faceoffs; 3 Title Fights on Target

Tempers flared at the weigh-ins, with Badr Hari and his opponent Arkadiusz Wrzosek nearly coming to blows at the official staredown after Hari shoved Wrzosek across the stage.

Glory Kickboxing returns for its second event of 2021 with a light heavyweight title fight between Alex Pereira and Artem Vakhitov, and the main event will see the return of “Bad Boy” Hari.

Despite being a kickboxing legend, Hari (106-15) is still looking for his first win as Glory fighter. The former K-1 heavyweight champion is winless in his last four bouts, losing to Benjamin Adegbuyi and Rico Verhoeven two times via injury. A decision victory in that stretch over Hesdy Gerges was later overturned to a no contest after both fighters tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. No official weight was listed or announced by the promotion, but with no cap to heavyweight, there was no limit the Dutchman could have exceeded.

Much less experienced is Wrzosek (13-5), although he does have one victory inside the Glory ring. The Polish fighter lost to Adegbuyi in his promotional debut, but bounced back by getting a TKO victory over Demoreo Dennis. Wrzosek officially weighed 238.5 pounds for the main event.

The main Glory 78 pay-per-view card will be available on the Glory website on Saturday, while the prelims will be streamed live on Sherdog.com. The main card takes place on Saturday at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT, and the preliminary Superfight Series kicks off at 11 a.m. ET/8 a.m. PT with middleweight and lightweight belts on the line.
