Thongchai Sitsongpeenong Replaces Eyevan Danenberg in GLORY 53 SuperFight Series Bout Against Cédric Doumbé

(PRESS RELEASE) -- GLORY, the world’s premier stand-up combat league, today announced that "The Thai Terminator" Thongchai Sitsongpeenong (137-36, 46 KO, fighting out of Thailand) will now headline GLORY 53 SuperFight Series opposite local favorite Cédric "The Best" Doumbé (68-6-1, 39 KO, fighting out of France) on Saturday, May 12.

Thongchai, the No. 7-ranked welterweight, was last in action at GLORY 51 Rotterdam as part of the one-night welterweight contender tournament. Following a semifinal victory over Alan Scheinson, Thongchai advanced to the tournament final, where he dropped a decision to the man he is replacing, Eyevan Danenberg. Known as "Mister Cool," Danenberg suffered an injury while training to face Doumbé, creating the opportunity for Thongchai to step in on short notice.
