Andy Ristie entered the Lightweight Championship match at GLORY 14 as the heavy favorite, and he landed equally heavy damage on Davit Kiria for 5 rounds - but Kiria shook off the hurt, dug deep, and pulled out the comeback of the century, proving how much heart he really has. Davit becomes the very first GLORY Lightweight Chamion, and he plans on holding on to his belt for a long time!
One of the greatest comebacks in the history of combat sports.
Davit Kiria - the greatest comeback winner i've ever seen
what an inspiring fucking performance by Davit Kiria - good for you Georgia!
thanks :)
Hats off to Davit. He truly has the heart of a lion. People who have been in the ring know how difficult it is to make a come back to this extent. He was really battered, bruised and outclassed but his perseverance and grit saw him through.
Крассавчик Давид !!!ты Герой ты молодец !!! ты свершил чудо !!! Слава Грузии что выростила такого сына Героя Грузина !!!
Спасибо, брат! Слава России также .
Spasiba brat....
Никогда не нравился Ристи. Спасибо тебе Давит, наказал наглеца.
this is what happens when you dont quit
+Brandin Welch and have a big heart!!
I'm not going to lie, I felt like crying a little at the moment when Davit received the belt. This fight always reminds why the fight game is so beautiful.
+SUPERRUGBYFAN4LIFE Best combacks i have ever seen
thats true, i never seen too
+TKilla999 he planned that shit he let ristie use all that energy for 3 rounds and just went crazy on him ko
Грузины наши братья. Привет из Армении! Отомстил за Геворга!
🇦🇲🇬🇪
Очень обидно было ,что он достал Доктора ! Гев тогда играл по его правилам
I remember watching this live. I was so captured by the underdog comeback during the fight. I went from impartial in the first round to screaming at the tv by the fifth. And jumping for joy when he won. How happy Davit was when he got the belt has stuck with me to this day.
Round 5, Kiria did exactly what he should have done: go for broke. He knew he was gonna lose on points, and nothing less than a KO or TKO was gonna win him this fight, so he just took crazy chances and it paid off.
Грузин красавчик!!!! Я думал проиграет, но в 5 раунде я аж с места подскочил!!!!
This was one of the best fights I've seen in a long time! Was worth paying to watch the event just to see this live
It truly was a gift to watch this fight live all those years ago. I remember entire Arena Zagreb erupting when Davit won. Amazing fight.
Kiria is one of the bravest fighters I've seen in any sport!
One of the best come back off all time. Congratulation to him. Glory you need to bring him back and let Davit fight in Glory again.
Посчастливилось смотреть этот бой в прямом эфире. Просто на громадном характере вытащил почти проигранный бой.
Grate warrior from Republic Of Georgia! Good luck Kiria!
Being the "best" doesn't mean you can't suffer loses, It's a part of becoming even better.
Kiria is a true hero. One of the best fights ever! Respect for both fighters.
გენაცვალე მე შენ, მაგარო ქართველო!!!

საქართველო !!!!!!!!!! მაგარი ხარ დავით გილოცავ!!!!
Вах, вах, красавчик Давид, молодец!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys from Glory World Series are AWESOME! Thank's A LOT for posting this fight on youtube without that greedy needs that the others fighting championships do! Kiria shows that he had the heart of a champion and deserves the belt, he shows what kickboxe is about: Heart. Nice to see a fight like that and I hope the next events could bring more fights like this one.
gotta respect ristie for lasting that long while fatigued
big fan of 5 rounds - this was a great fight too
Oh my god Kiria is a Monster. Respekt.
Petrosyan must make a rematch with Ristie!Kiria and Ristie have my great respect,awesome fighters.
Great fucking fight. Action all the way, and then the turnaround? Just what you love to see.
Amazing comeback, what guts by Kiria!
+George Xanthopoulos Their hands are badly positioned to block blows to the face.
Glory is going to be up there with the UFC. Good strikers who have no ground game don't have to go to mma and hope they survive. Love this organization.
Rocky Balboa was at gloryworldseries with Team Davit Kiria :) !!! Epic comeback ever seen! Congrats Davit Kiria!
Great showcase of heart and keeping his composure while looking for that KO
I got tears in my eyes not out of compassion for Andy or Davit because they both received good punishment from each other, but for the humility and respect demonstrated by both fighters.
Kiria Bravo, thenk you ! for Gorgio Petrosiyan
thanks glory for uploading it!! great fight!!!!
I love Ristie's front kick to the body.
Viva Georgia. Viva Davit
Красавец биджо .
Best kickboxing match I've ever seen on tv.

This was one hell of a fight....Both fighters are incredibly skilled and tough! Respect for both these great fighters!!!
One the best fights i have ever seen.
Красава Давид! Великолепный бой! 👏👏👏👍👍👍
thanks glory. Do this for all the events
THANK YPU FOR UPLOAD!!!
Absolutely amazing fight!
that was awesome, epic fight! Congrats Davit, you are the man. წარმატებები დავით!
This was the biggest turnaround I have ever seen, Davit Kiria was taking one hell of a beating until the end of the final round. Up until then Kiria had been knocked or tripped to the canvas numerous times by Ristie, was on the back move and unwilling to attack as Ristie bored in with kicks and blows to the head. A left knee to the chin knocked a dazed Kiria to the canvas. Then suddenly, late in the last round, out of the blue, the much taller Ristie was knocked down by a blow to the head. He got up with only forty seconds left. Kiria threw everything at him, and he went down again, dazed and unable to continue. The referee stopped the fight in Kiria's favor.
Ken W. Simpson I didn't feel it was dramatic or sudden; Kiria continually found a home for his left hook counter either over Ristie's right or directly down onto his arm and wearing down his shoulder in the later rounds. The beginning of the end came as a result of the left hook to start the first technical knockdown, as well as the second knockdown which came from a cross counter over Ristie's left followed by another left hook over the top. Ristie being the lankier fighter had much success with his combinations in the pocket, wherein Kiria stayed to have success landing his own shots. Kiria's conditioning must be phenomenal to weather all those body shots and still have the cardio to get off those high teeps and slip enough punches to land his counters. This fight was very surprising and will serve as a continuing source of inspiration to shorter fighters whose options really are limited to overhands and straights in the pocket.
Fair comment
ძმა ხარ!!!!! გილოცავ ღმერთი გფარავდეს ძმაო!
Wow Incredible display of heart!!! Great fight
прикрасный бой
These are the fights worth remembering (like amrani vs khamal or Hari vs karajev ) Loved it
georgian pepole is so amazing and strong pepole
Stop Shitting around and being arrogant Davit was manhandled the whole fight but he stood and didn't give up and knocked the champ out by the way he was a lot more tired in the fifth than Andy so haters keep hating, but Georgian character does not let you give up until you die.
you rigth but why get mad at ppl with different set of skills some pll are just a little slower and that can be hard thats why he is shitting around as you said,i saw eccatly the same as you and that was so clear that of course all other normal spectators saw the same to
Georgians are very hot tempered :))) i was mad when i was writing this cuz man, this guy gave all his soul in that fight and not respecting that is a little hard for me to get.
Nikoloz Bichiashvili aba ra dzmao asprocentiani xar
:)))))
ARE YOU KIDDING ME THAT WAS AWESOME
I have seen seven times this video, fantastic match! Kiria you are a mith! Lionheart!
That’s what you call Hot blood Georgian 🇬🇪☝🏻we are proud of you 👏🏻
кирия мы в тебя верили супер бой
great fight! Congrats Davit! looking forward to seeing more form these guys. Maybe Davit vs Petrosian. Also looking forward to seeing Van Roselman Come back.
They already fought
kiria showed so much heart in this fight absolute legend. respect from holland
Красавчик Давид
Красавчик💪поздравляю брат
Вот это сила воли , вот что такое грузинский дух , Давид побил противника который сильнее его , а это героизм
Дзма джан поздравляю заслуженная победа!!!!
This was absolutely great fight. Respect to Andy as well, he is great fighter but I think he seemed too confidant in his victory in first couple rounds, that's why he lost all his energy in the begining. Davit showed that Georgian fighter spirit in this match, he took many kicks, but didn't give up. He deserved this victory and to be N1 in the world. Davit makes me and entire GEORGIA proud with this victory. Good luck to him!
Не оставайся на достигнутом будь всегда на высоте !!Браво!!!
this was such a sick comeback i couldn't believe it when i wtched it live
Awesome fight throughout, ko was cherry on top
Wow this fight was mind blowing! Hope Andy cones back to be champ again . Davit had such an amazing drive to not give up. I take my hat off to both of them
Happy for Kiria! Great performance, Great job!
This is what persistence does, what an amazing fight, Kiria fought straight up, i wish he'd close distance more often with the taller fighters whenever it needs to be done, respect for both fighters👍
This is why I live boxing or kickboxing period,anything can happen I've seen it time & time again,never doubt a hungry underdog with the heart of a lion.
genacvale daviT, qartveli bolomde ibrdzvis!
Epic comeback that finish was like something you would see in a movie
Davit has an incredibly outstanding stamina!!!!! Oh my......after all these shots and knees and everything, he pulls his shit together and what he does at the end is simply awesome......Andy is awesome as well....
one of the best fight ever seen.
Still unbelievable to this day. Incredible
EXCELENTE EJEMPLO DE PERSEVERANCIA Y FE...FELICITACIONES DAVID KIRIA. CONGRATULATIONS

КИРИЯ ТЫ СУПППЕР! ЖЕЛЕЗНЫЙ ПАРЕН! МОЛОДЕЦ БРАТАН!!!
WHO ELSE IS HERE? in anticipation for Davit’s fight in ONE against Tawanchai?! Davit is a big underdog, but like in this fight he pulled the “win out of the fire”!
Wow, a fucking warrior
Damn that was a hell of a turn around...I mean on some Rocky balboa Epic shit!
Kiria is tough, and to beat him through decision is smart. To try to beat him by knock out is brave.
