The M-1 World Champion and Pride veteran Fatih "The Turkish Terror" Kocamis will return to the ring after a 2 and 1/2 year break. The fighter of the famous Golden Glory Team is back to stay! Kocamis: "I decided to take a break after a disappointing decision loss to Kevin Randleman". "For a while it was hard to motivate myself as I suffered some injuries along the way, but my teammates always kept faith in me and supported me all the way". "For this fight, I have been training hard for the past 6 months and I am ready again to fight anybody in the world"!
Fatih Kocamis will face the biggest BJJ and MMA talent of Holland: Hans Stringer. The 20 years old Stringer is working on his striking with former K-1 MAX World Champion Albert Kraus. Hans Stringer is a youngster with great ground skills combined with though Muay Thai kicks and knees.
In this match you will see an experienced and determined bear taking on a young and hungry lion!
In the main event, the current Cage Rage champion Paul Cahoon will take on UFC fighter Tomasz Drwal from Poland. Cahoon an UK Golden Glory fighter is on a winning streak since 2005. He defeated Elvis Sinosic to capture the Cage Rage World Title in December 2007.

GLORY co promoter and Golden Glory manager Ron Nyqvist: "Nijmegen is my hometown and I only wanted the best to hit the city".
