A massive clash in the heavyweight 95+ kg division will shake the arena of SENSHI 31 Gladiators on May 30 from 7:30 PM ЕЕТ /12:30 PM EST/ at the Ancient Theatre in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. In one of the most anticipated super fights of the international fight gala, Dutch fighting machine Thomas Bridgewater will face Belgian fighter Asdren Gashi. Tickets for the spectacular event are already available at Eventim.bg.
Thomas Bridgewater enters the bout determined to leave a strong mark on the SENSHI ring following his participation in the promotion’s first-ever Grand Prix tournament in the heavyweight 95+ kg division at SENSHI 28 in September 2025. Back then, the Dutch fighter lost to Bruno Chaves, but now he returns even more motivated and ready to win the applause of the audience in Plovdiv. The ENFUSION and Anadolu Kickbox champion is a representative of the famous Dutch kickboxing school and the brother of heavyweight star Levi Rigters.
Standing across from him will be the dangerous Belgian fighter Asdren Gashi – finalist at the 2019 FEA Kickboxing World GP and champion of Ultimate Fight Night. Gashi is already well familiar with the atmosphere of SENSHI, where he has two appearances and two victories. His last appearance came at SENSHI 20 in February 2024, when he knocked out Turkish fighter Kadir Yıldırım and cemented his reputation as one of Europe’s most dangerous heavyweight competitors.
The super clash between Bridgewater and Gashi is part of the fight card of SENSHI 31 Gladiators, which will transform the Ancient Theatre in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, into a true gladiatorial arena under the open sky. The international fight gala will also feature more spectacular bouts and the first-ever SENSHI Grand Prix tournament in the 70 kg division with direct eliminations.
Fans of combat sports will enjoy world-class action in the unique atmosphere of the ancient Roman theatre, where SENSHI will once again gather fighters from around the world for an unforgettable fight night.
