Christian Baya (born August 27, 1991) is a German-born Dutch-Angolan kickboxer who is the former Glory Lightweight Championship title challenger.

He ranked in the world's lightweight top 10 by Combat Press in 2017 and 2018.[2][3]

Early years[edit]

Born in Germany but resident in the Netherlands from a young age, Baya often fights under the flag of Angola which is his mother's home country.

Professional kickboxing career[edit]

After his Glory debut win over Josh Jauncey, Baya participated in the Glory Lightweight contender tournament. In the semi-finals he won a split decision over Anatoly Moiseev, and in the finals he likewise won a split decision over Massaro Glunder.[4]

Winning this tournament earned a title shot against the incumbent lightweight champion Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong. Baya lost the title fight by a unanimous decision.[5][6]

During Glory 49: Rotterdam Baya fought Samo Petje,[7] winning the fight by TKO in the first round, after just 26 seconds.[8][9]

After his failed title bid, he fought a rematch with Josh Jauncey. Baya would lose the fight by a split decision,[10] which began a four fight split decision losing streak. He lost split decisions to Tyjani Beztati during Glory 59,[11] Marat Grigorian during Glory 62,[12] and Khayal Dzhaniev during SAS Gym 02.

Baya snapped a five fight losing streak during Fair Fight IX, when he won a decision, after an extra round was fought, against Vadim Vaskov.[13]

In late 2019, Baya challenged for the Fair Fight 70 kg title, held at the time by Alexander Skvortsov.[14] He lost the fight by a unanimous decision.[15]

Baya was scheduled to face Amansio Paraschiv at GFC 7: Romania vs. Netherlands II for the GFC Intercontinental Light Middleweight Championship.[16] He lost the bout by split decision.[17]
