Where To Bet Glory MMA / Kickboxing Online

Graeme

Formerly known as Glory World Series, Glory is a kickboxing league that was founded back in 2012.

Glory will usually run about 10 cards per year. While founded in Asia, they are a complete global promotion who have events all over the world.

Over the years they have held events in places such as the Netherlands, France, China and multiple cities in the USA.

They are able to be watched online via multiple methods such as UFC Fight Pass or on the Fight Network.

Betting for Glory is kind of hit and miss. Some online sportsbooks don’t cover it, while some will even offer up futures on it. In this article I’ll talk about everything related to betting Glory online.

Where To Bet Glory Online

America: Your best option for Glory betting is Bovada. These guys offer pretty much everything you could bet on including WWE! They will have Glory odds up usually a week or two before the event. The key thing about them is consistency. I’ve found other sportsbooks hit or miss in terms of adding Glory events but these guys usually have them up for every event.

Everywhere Else: Without a doubt it is 888. Not only do they cover Glory but they’re one of the only sportsbooks I’ve seen that will occasionally offer odds months before a fight. It’s nice to see a book commit like that with Glory futures. They will also offer prop bets.

What Glory Bets are there?

MMA Deposit Bonuses
Most online sportsbooks will offer the ability to bet on who will win and lose a fight and that’s it.

It’s the most common bet available for fighting and that’s what most sportsbooks usually stick to.

However I have noticed in the past that both Bovada and 888 will expand that somewhat.

They will offer, in addition to who will win a fight, the prop bet of how many rounds there will be in a fight.

It is an over/under and is usually always set at 2.5. It can be a valueable little bet to have this one too as the odds are usually even compared to the winner or loser where one person is often heavily favoured over the other, making them unbettable.

Common Glory Betting Questions:

What Prop Bets Are Available for Betting on Glory?:

The only common prop bet for betting on Glory is the Over/Under in the amount of rounds. Normally it will be set at 2.5 but depending on the fight it may be 3.5 or even 1.5. This is usually the only prop bet available for Glory.

Where Can I Bet Glory Futures?

You can usually bet futures on Glory at 888. They are the only online sportsbook I have seen that will offer Glory odds months prior to a major card.

Who is the Champion in Glory MMA?

Glory MMA has numerous divisions. The current champions are:

Heavyweight: Rico Verhoeven. Rico won the title in June 2014 defeating Daniel Ghita. Rico has had numerous successful title defenses since then over the likes of Benjamin Adegbuyi, Mladen Brestovac and Badri Hari.

Light Heavyweight: Artem Vakhitov. Artem won the title at Glory 28 in Paris and has defended it against the likes of Danyo Ilunga and Dongei Abena. However Alex Pereira is the interim champion which he won at Glory 74 in December 2019.

Middleweight: Alex Pereira. Also the intermin Light Heavyweight champion so not sure if he will be retaining it or not. Won it at Glory 46 in China and has had multiple successful title defenses.

Welterweight: Cedric Doumbe. Cedric won the title for the second time at Glory 64. He had previously lost the championship at Glory 44 against Murthel Groenhart.

Lightweight: Marat Grigorian. Marat won the title off Sitthichai Sitsongeenong at Glory 65 in Utrecht and has two successful title defenses so far.

Featherweight: Petchpanomrung Kiatmookao. Won it at Glory 59 in Amsterdam and has 4 successful defenses thus far.

Women’s Bantamweight Championship: Tiffany Van Soest is the current champion. She was the inaugral champion when the belt was created winning it back at Glory 36. She lost it to Anissa Meksen however won it back over Annisa Meksen.

I update this championship listing of Glory MMA after each event.

How to Bet Glory Online

Bovada: You need to register and then log in to see the odds available here. It’ll be listed by clicking the MMA section up top. You just have to put a checkmark beside it then hit continue to see the odds. Put in your wager then hit continue and you have to confirm the bets. Nice and easy.

888: While they have a search bar I find it doesn’t always work right. I usually use the menu and choose “All Sports” then “MMA/UFC” right at the top. Click that and it lists all of the Glory odds.

Where To Watch Glory Online:

Over the years, Glory has aired in multiple networks such as Spike TV and ESPN. Depending on the event, you will also be able to watch it on UFC Fight Pass at UFC.TV.

Glory Betting Strategy:

With the ability to bet on over/under in rounds, it’s something I would look at. One problem I see with Glory is a lot of the fights there very heavy odds for a lot of fighters – very heavy favourites. So at least you can even the playing field with the over/unders. And of course, the over is your friend in Glory.
