Verhoeven, Rico The current Glory Kickboxing heavyweight champion and defending champion is the finest heavyweight kickboxer of the last decade. Rico has not lost a fight in the previous 5 years and appears to be extremely difficult to beat. He has a very technical game that relies heavily on footwork and ring generalship. His goal is always to keep his opponents off balance and wear them down with constant pressure. He is a true all-round fighter who can also take a punch - but it's his kicks that do most of the damage. Nurmagomedov, Alisher Currently ranked number one by both KICKBOXING WORLD and World Kickboxing Network, Alisher "The Russian Bear" Nurmagomedov is a multiple time world champion in several styles of karate and mixed martial arts. He owns victories over former champions Alexander Emelianenko and Mirko Cro Cop. More recently, he has started training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and is looking to add this new dimension to his game. He's undefeated as a pro kickboxer and looks set to continue this run for many more years to come. Tremontière, Jean-Claude "JC" Formerly one of France's top fighters, now based in Australia where he runs his own gym, JC Tremontière is another heavy hitter who knows how to use his fists and feet to win fights.
