Road to GLORY is getting started off in the United States this week. While that's happening, plans for the version of Road to GLORY in Japan have been announced. In addition, GLORY also announced their plans for a big return event to Tokyo in May.

The first Road to GLORY event in Japan will take place on March 10 in Tokyo at the Differ Ariake. The event will feature a 65kg tournament, with the winner getting the standard Road to GLORY prize of $20 000. The eight man field for the Road to GLORY tournament is as follows:

Zen Fujita vs. Riki Matsuoka

Yuki vs. Mohan Dragon

Masaaki Noiri vs. HIROYA

Yukihiro Komiya vs. Ryuji Kajiwara

The winner of the tournament will also qualify for GLORY's 65kg eight man "Slam" tournament, which was also announced to be taking place on May 3 in Tokyo, at the Ariake Coliseum.

This post will probably be updated with more details as the press conference commences in Japan, so stay tuned.
