. Zimmerman did have his moments, where he rocked his opponent multiple times, but his lack of mobility and head movement made him an easy target for the much taller Schilt. He lost the match when his corner threw in the towel in the third round. He competed in the sixteen-man 2012 Glory Heavyweight Grand Slam at '' Glory 4: Tokyo - 2012 Heavyweight Grand Slam'' in Saitama, Japan on December 31, 2012 but surprisingly lost to the unfancied Jamal Ben Saddik at the opening stage. He was floored by Ben Saddik in rounds one and two, but also scored a knockdown of his own late in the second. Time ran out just as he was making a comeback, however, and, due to the tournament's "best of three" format, he lost a unanimous decision after two, two-minute rounds.

He was knocked out by Daniel Ghiță for the second time at '' Glory 13: Tokyo - Welterweight World Championship Tournament'' in Tokyo, Japan on December 21, 2013, succumbing to a left hook at the 0:35 mark of round one.


2014

He was initially set to face Ben Edwards in the main event of '' Glory 15: Istanbul'' in Istanbul, Turkey on 12 April 2014 but the match was transferred to the semi-finals of the '' Glory 16: Denver - Heavyweight Contendership Tournament'' in Broomfield, Colorado, US on May 3, 2014. He stopped Edwards in round one, scoring two knockdowns over the Australian, before giving an almost identical performance in the final against Anderson "Braddock" Silva as he knocked his Brazilian opponent down three times to win via another first-round TKO and take the tournament crown. Zimmerman stated in the post-fight press conference that he would have retired had he lost in the tournament.


2015

Zimmerman completed a trilogy of fights against Rico Verhoeven when he faced him on February 6, 2015 in the main event at Glory 19: Virginia. The anticipated bout ended in anticlimactic fashion as Zimmerman sustained a knee injury in the second round, allowing Verhoeven to retain his Heavyweight title. Ten months later, Zimmerman fought Thomas Vanneste during Glory 26. Vanneste won the fight by split decision.


2016 and 2017

After this loss, Zimmerman left Glory and fought Viktor Bogutzki during Mix Fight Gala 20. He won the fight by a second round KO. Errol then fought Murat Aygun for the WFL Heavyweight title, but lost the fight by decision. A month later, Zimmerman entered the A1 WCC Heawyweight Qualification Tournament.
