Glory 44 Chicago Weigh-in Results: Doumbe, Groenhart Primed for Welterweight Title Fight

Glory is set to return to the Windy City on Friday night with another event loaded with action. The welterweight championship will be on the line as reigning welterweight champ Cedric Doumbe (67-4-1, 39 KOs) will defend against Murthel Groenhart (66-22-3, 38 KOs) and at Thursday’s official weigh-ins, everybody on the marquee made weight.

Doumbe previously defeated Groenhart at Glory 28 last year and is riding a 12-fight winning streak, with two of those wins coming over former titlist Nieky Holzken. Groenhart is coming off a spectacular knockout of Harut Grigorian at Glory 42 in June. Groenhart was the first of the featured fighters to tip the scale and he came in at 168.5 pounds. Doumbe followed suit and nailed it; the champ came in at 169 pounds.
