Golden Glory era

Founded by Dutch combat sports promotor Bas Boon with top trainer Martijn de Jong and media specialist Bertrand van der Ryd in 2006 in Amsterdam, Netherlands as a series of events for fighters from the Golden Glory stable to compete on, the promotion was originally known as Ultimate Glory before a lawsuit with Zuffa, the company behind the Ultimate Fighting Championship, forced a name change to United Glory.

United Glory's first major event, Ultimate Glory 11: A Decade of Fights, was held at Amsterdam Centraal on October 17, 2009 and was headlined by two legendary heavyweights in Alexey Ignashov and Semmy Schilt while also featuring a host of other top kickboxers. This event was the first of a number shown on the United States'sHDNet television network.

In October 2010, the 2010-2011 Glory World Series began. It featured an eight man welterweight MMA tournament and heavyweight kickboxing tournament. The first event was held in Amsterdam, Netherlands at United Glory 12,[2] and the second at United Glory 13 in Belgium in March 2011[3] after being pushed back from January due to injuries.[4] The finals took place in Moscow, Russia in May 2011 at United Glory 14, where Gokhan Saki won the kickboxing tournament and Siyar Bahadurzada won the MMA tournament.

Glory Sports International era

When K-1, historically the world's premier kickboxing organization, began suffering from extreme financial difficulties in 2011, Total Sports Asia, TSA CEO Marcus Luer, London-based French investor Pierre Andurand, and Scott Rudmann of Nectar Capital attempted to buy the brand. When K-1 was instead sold to Gunil "Mike" Kim and EMCOM Entertainment Inc., Pierre Andurand, TSA, and the other investors decided to start a brand new label and kickboxing organisation called GLORY, and bought United Glory, Golden Glory and It's Showtime in order to secure a top event production team, and to secure all the top fighters in the world.[6] GSI signed most of the world's top talent such as Peter Aerts,Remy Bonjasky, Semmy Schilt,Gokhan Saki, Daniel Ghiţă, Albert Kraus,Giorgio Petrosyan and Yoshihiro Sato whereas United Glory, Golden Glory and It's Showtime executives Bas Boon, Martijn de Jong, and Simon Rutz became GLORY consultants. That year also saw Glory World Series introduce a new tournament format: Grand Slam, a one-night, 16-man grand prix that will be held for the first time on December 31, 2012 in Tokyo. GSI is producing a double show on NYE 2012 at Saitama arena. The show will first start with a revival of Dream (mixed martial arts) with Dream 18, and then will follow with GLORY 4 the kickboxing Heavyweight Grand Slam with the 16 best stand-up fighters in the world, including legends Semmy Schilt, Peter Aerts, Remy Bonjasky, and upcoming stars Daniel Ghiţă and Gökhan Saki.

In November 2012, Glory entered into a partnership with the ONE Fighting Championship mixed martial arts promotions to share fighters.
