Overeem signed with Glory in 2021 and was expected to make his
promotional debut against Rico
Verhoeven at Glory Collision 3 this past October before being
forced to withdraw due to injury. Overeem parted ways with the UFC
following a second-round TKO loss to Alexander
Volkov at UFC Fight Night 184 in February 2021.
Hari, who hails from Amsterdam but fights out of Morocco, is a
former K-1 Champion and owns a 106-17 career record in kickboxing.
His last appearance ended in a no contest when a
riot ensued in the crowd at Glory 80 in Hasselt, Belgium.
