GLORY has a stacked schedule coming up for the rest of the year, including their "GLORY 3 Rome: Final 8" event in Rome, Italy on November 3 which features the Final 8 of the GLORY 70kg tournament. Although we already know the participants of that, the rest of the card still needs to be filled out and today GLORY announced one of the other fights.

Yoshihiro Sato and Dzhabar Askerov, both who fought in the GLORY First 16 on May 26 in Stockholm, Sweden will fight each other in a super fight. Sato lost a close decision to Shemsi Beqiri, and some think he should've won. Askerov was involved in a fight of the year candidate with Robin van Roosmalen. It's a very good match-up, as both have styles that make for excellent, all action fights.

For Sato, it will be his first fight since his loss to Shemsi Beqiri back in May. For Askerov, he's one of the most active fighters in combat sports, having fought seven times this year already, with another five fights including this one lined up for the rest of the year.
