"We couldn't be happier to be on multiple platforms of the most watched, most talked about sports network in the world," said GLORY CEO Jon Franklin. "This Friday will be the first time our stacked card will be available live on both coasts – joining live international broadcasts already scheduled in more than 100 countries, with almost 80 more on delay – and we're excited to be working with ESPN."

In 2015 alone, GLORY has reached broadcast deals with ESPN in the United States, Kombat Sport in France, Fight Channel in Eastern Europe, Combat Channel in Russia, ATV in Suriname, KBS N in South Korea, Digi Sport in Romania and Hungary, StarTimes in Sub-Saharan Africa, Eurosport in European, KIX in Southeast Asia, RING.BG in Bulgaria, SKY in New Zealand, Sport TV in Portugal, and most recently Spike in the Netherlands, further exemplifying its position as an exciting global property.

GLORY 25 Milan is headlined by the Lightweight World Championship clash between reigning Robin "Pokerface" van Roosmalen (34-6, 19 KO) of the Netherlands and challenger Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong (103-28-5, 28 KO) of Thailand. Returning lightweight legend Giorgio "The Doctor" Petrosyan (81-2-1, 36 KO) and 22-year-old rising star Josh Jauncey (23-5, 12 KO) meet in the co-headline bout.

Was glory milan niet live uitgezonden op spike nederland?

Ik ziet nu de herhalingen te kijken op spike tv. Ze zeggen dat ze glory amsterdam live uitzenden?

Moeten ze wel op ESPN of ESPN 2 komen. ESPN 3 kan lang niet iedereen ontvangen en kijken weinig mensen naar. Maar goed begin en ESPN besteedt ook steeds meer aandacht aan MMA. Dus misschien kan Glory in de slipstream mee....

Niet zo'n mooi nieuws. Hierdoor kan Glory doorgaan met wereldkampioen te worden van Amerika.

ESPN 3 is geen tv-kanaal, maar een website/stream.
