The time is now to declare the tournament heavyweight top contender for the title! Brazil’s Anderson Silva takes on Errol Zimmerman of Curacao. Zimmerman one the first fight of the night via KO against Australia’s Ben Edwards, while Silva went the distance with Russia’s Sergei Kharitonov setting up this finals match up.
Both men ouch gloves and Zimmerman starts kicking at Silva’s legs. The general consensus is that Silva’s stamina is in question as he fought a longer first bout and with good reason, after Silva knocked Zimmerman down, Zimmerman returns the favor with a big knee for the first knock down and then a second knockdown only moments later causing a standing 8-count.
Silva is dazed and Zimmerman is on the attack even after slipping. Silva eats a left hooks and loses by TKO at 2:30 in the very first round declaring Errol Zimmerman the tournament winner and the top contender for the Glory Heavyweight Championship! Zimmerman dedicated this fight to his trainer Roman Decker who passed away last year.
