"It's truly an international affair because you've got fighters from Italy, US, Holland, Switzerland and I think each match-up is going to be utterly fantastic. "And you know, what better place to have a tournament where, the birthplace of the infamous Roman Coliseum, in Rome, Italy. And I'm totally, totally thrilled about being there at ringside with another great champion, the great Frank Shamrock, to call the action on Glory 3, The Final 8 in the 70-kilogram tournament."
