Paul Daley has an opponent for his Glory kickboxing bout at Bellator 142 next month as he will face fellow Bellator fighter Fernando Gonzalez in a welterweight bout.
The fight booking was announced by Bellator on Monday.
Bellator 142: Dynamite will come from the SAP Center in San Jose, California on September 19 and will be headlined by a title fight as Liam McGeary defends the light heavyweight title against Tito Ortiz.
“Glory has been a great partner for this event, bringing several world-class, championship kickboxing matches to the table,” said Bellator MMA President Scott Coker. “Daley and Gonzalez are two incredible strikers in our welterweight division, and we’re looking forward to seeing them lay it on the line with Glory gloves on their hands. It would be great to see the winner of this fight take on Glory’s welterweight champ Nieky Holzken in the future.”
“We’re thrilled to have athletes the caliber of Daley and Gonzalez testing their striking inside the ring” said GLORY CEO Jon Franklin. “Under GLORY rules, our fans know to expect non-stop action, and these two fighters that Bellator has selected are perfect fits. We’re expecting fireworks.”
