The feud between Dutchman Rico Verhoeven and Belgian Moroccan Jamal Ben Saddik has reached a new low point in Arnhem. The latter stormed into the ring after Verhoeven beat his poulain and sold the Dutch world champion egg after a kick in the face. Fortunately, the ruffians were able to be stopped by security on time.

For a moment, undefeated Rico Verhoeven seemed to be right after all. During the Glory Heavyweight Grand Prix, the Dutchman wavered for a moment in his third and final match against Levi Rigters. It filled 'The King of Kickboxing' with a spinning backfist. Verhoeven went to his knees, staggered back to his corner and clearly needed to recover. The crowd held their breath, but Verhoeven survived... and then won after two knockdowns.
