GLORY 83 Results | Maslobojev vs Abena II
Fight day is upon us in Essen, Germany as the world’s premier kickboxing promotion, GLORY, comes to the Grugahalle for another stacked event, GLORY 83.
In the main event, we will see a Light Heavyweight Title Fight between current Champion Sergej Maslobojev and top-ranked contender Donegi Abena.
Donovan Wisse was scheduled to defend his Middleweight Title against Cesar Almeida during the evening’s co-main event. However, Almeida missed weight by one kilogram, and as a result, the bout will proceed as a three-round non-title fight.
Elsewhere on the card, Joilton Lutterbach missed weight and on doctor’s orders was removed from the fight card. As a result, his contest against Diaguely Camara will not go ahead and Jos van Belzen vs. Robin Ciric will now take its spot on the main card.
You can find the official results for GLORY 83 below.

STYLEBENDER PRAISES POATAN
It seems Alex Pereira is on a lot of minds of late. His former nemesis ‘Stylebender’ Israel Adesanya has been speaking about him this week and, rather surprisingly, heaped praise on the Brazilian.
The pair have shared an intense rivalry throughout their respective kickboxing and mixed martial arts careers, with Pereira beating Adesanya three times before ‘The Last Stylebender’ finally got the edge over ‘Poatan’ in their last meeting a year ago.
Pereira won their first meeting in the kickboxing ring by decision back in 2016 and then knocked out Adesanya in a rematch eleven months later.
He then finished Adesanya in the fifth round at UFC 281 to claim the middleweight title in only his sixth professional MMA bout, before Adesanya reclaimed the belt a few months later with a devastating right hook.
Adesanya went on to lose the belt to Sean Strickland and has since been on a self imposed sabbatical from the sport. He was an interested spectator as Pereira moved up to the light heavyweight division, before winning and then defending the belt in that division too.
Speaking with former UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson on his YouTube channel this week, Adesanya had nothing but praise for Pereira, and insists the Brazilian brings out the best in him:
“He’s a special fighter” said Adesanya. “He’s a special human being. What he’s done in this game, in fighting, and for his life as well, I’ll always respect him. I’m grateful for those moments because, for me, it taught me so much about myself and where I can go”.
Despite losing the first three fights in their series, Adesanya insists the fights were closer than that record suggests:
“First fight in China, I thought I won. These casuals don’t. These plebs don’t. I thought I won. Even he thought I won until he got his hand raised. Second fight, I’m beating his ass and he gets me. Again in New Your (UFC 281) I’m beating him. Rocked him, took him down, held him down, beat him and he gets me…I just knew that I can beat this guy”.
With Adesanya rumoured to be coming back to challenge Dricus Du Plessis for the 185lb title, and Alex Pereira seemingly looking upwards toward the heavyweight division for his next challenge, it seems the pair are out of each other’s crosshairs…for now at least.

JAMAHAL HILL WANTS REVENGE
Despite being just two weeks removed from his defeat to Alex Pereira in the main event at UFC 300, Jamahal Hill is climbing straight back on the horse and already has his next fight lined up. ‘Sweet Dreams’ is scheduled to face Khalil Roundtree Jr at UFC 303 on June 29th.
The card will be headlined by the long-awaited return of ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor, and Hill has elected to step straight back into fight camp rather than sit on the sidelines and recover from the devastating first round knockout he suffered at the hands of Pereira.
Rountree will be coming into this bout on a five-fight winning streak and has finished seven of his 9 UFC victories by knockout. Sitting at #8 in the UFC’s light heavyweight rankings, Rountree will surely see a victory over a former champion like Hill as a short cut to a title shot.
Given that Hill will likely have received a 60-day medical suspension from the Nevada State Athletic Commission, and there are only 77 days separating UFCs 300 and 303, there are certainly questions to be raised about the decision of Hill and his team to take this fight.
Hill explained in an interview with The Schmo that he sees the proximity of the two fights being a positive for his physical preparations, and that he is focused on avenging the loss to Pereira:
“I’m already in good shape” he explained. “I’m feeling good, heading into another camp just makes sense, I get to go into a camp in shape instead of going into camp off a layoff so I think that’ll be a huge plus and will help me go out and put on the performance I need to against Khalil Rountree to put myself back in position to get that Alex Pereira fight back.
“It’s about getting back to that fight, I want to fight Alex again just because of the narrative surrounding it ”
Hill originally won the 205lb title after defeating Pereira’s coach Glover Teixeira over five rounds at UFC 283 in January of 2023. He then ruptured his Achilles tendon last July and vacated the belt which Pereira won by beating Jiri Prochazka at UFC 295 in November.
