Sure, here’s a reimagined version of that article:

So, there’s this kickboxing thing happening, and honestly? It sounds wild. It’s GLORY 100, which apparently was gonna be a two-day celebration but now it’s squished into one knockout day. I mean, maybe they thought, “Hey, why not just go all in on one day?” Or maybe they just like keeping us on our toes.
Anyway, it’s going down on June 14 at Rotterdam Ahoy in the Netherlands. One-hundred percent gonna be madness with lots of sweaty folks punching, kicking, and doing whatever it is kickboxers do. If that floats your boat.
You got Rico Verhoeven — some call him “The King of Kickboxing.” (Cool name, right?) He’s tossing his heavyweight title into the ring against Artem Vakhitov. That guy’s apparently famous for beating someone named Alex Pereira once. Big deal alert.
Then there’s this whole other thing with Tarik Khbabez defending against Sergej Maslobojev. A real mouthful, I know. These two? They’re picking up their old beef right where it left off.
And Donovan Wisse’s in the mix too, eyeing a chance to beat this middleweight defense record Alex Pereira set. Why everyone keeps bringing up Alex is beyond me. Anyway, Wisse is set to face Michael Boapeah. The drama, am I right?
Oh, and we can’t forget Petch from Thailand, holding it down as the featherweight champ. He’s rematching Miguel Trindade, which is supposed to be electrifying. Fingers crossed for fireworks.
There’s also this thing called the “Last Heavyweight Standing.” Sounds like a reality show, but it’s just a bunch of dudes competing in four different mini-tournaments. Kind of like a brawl for it all, you know?
Jamal Ben Saddik, aka “The Goliath,” will be there. With a nickname like that, you’d think he’d be fighting dragons or something. Also, French heavyweight Sofian Laidouni will be around. Who knew the French did kickboxing? Not me.
Honestly, there’s just way too many fighters to list here, like some endless roll call. Gladiator vibes for sure.
If you’re into this kind of stuff, tickets go live on May 23. Don’t ask me when that is, I can barely remember what day today is. Check out GLORYKickboxing.com for more.
Oh! And if you’re not planning to be in the Netherlands (can’t say I blame you if you’re not), you can still catch it live on DAZN PPV. Or so they say.
That’s all I got — can’t pretend I know more about kickboxing than I do. If you do end up watching, maybe send me a play-by-play or something.
Catch you later, GLORY fans (or newcomers just like me).
