GLORY Collision 3 has a new headliner, as the kickboxing promotion has announced that Ben Saddik will battle Rico Verhoeven for the third time.

The heavyweight champ Verhoeven was originally scheduled to fight Alistair Overeem at the October 23rd card, but the latter had to withdraw due to injury. On Friday, GLORY announced that a rubber match between Verhoeven and Saddik will now serve as the main event.

Saddik recorded a TKO win over Verhoeven back in 2011. But, in their 2017 rematch, Verhoeven finished him in round five.

In addition, following the recent news that Gokhan Saki has resigned with GLORY,  it’s been confirmed he will fight veteran James McSweeney at Collision 3.

GLORY Collision 3 will be available on pay-per-view at gloryfights.com. The event will take place at the GelreDome in Arnhem, the Netherlands
