Tension crackled in the staredown between Joe âStitch Em Upâ Schilling and Jason âPsychoâ Wilnis as the two GLORY 24 DENVER headliners squared off after successfully weighing in for their Friday night bout.
Schilling had been due to meet Artem âThe Lionâ Levin here in a middleweight title fight but the champion pulled out with an injury. Wilnis stepped in to replace him and now has the opportunity to steal Schillingâs title shot if he can secure victory tomorrow.
Co-headline fighters Dustin Jacoby and Wayne Barrett, also fighting in the middleweight division, made weight with no issue and look set to have a possible Fight of the Night contender tomorrow night in a mid-table dogfight.
GLORY 24 DENVER has a four-man Heavyweight Contender Tournament as its centerpiece, the winner of which will move forward to a title shot against Rico Verhoeven at GLORY 26 AMSTERDAM in December.
On the Superfight Series card, Casey âGoâ Greene missed weight on his welterweight debut. The former middleweight was just outside the upper limit but was able to negotiate a catchweight encounter via surrendering a portion of his purse to his opponent.
