Dustin Jacoby eager for Simon Marcus title shot, says Joe Schilling turned him down at GLORY 27

The No.3-ranked GLORY middleweight is enjoying his GLORY 27 tournament victory and anxiously awaiting his title shot against current champion Simon Marcus, which could happen at GLORY 30 in Los Angeles. "The Hanyak" discussed his tournament victory and revealed he almost stepped out of the tourney to face Joe Schilling.

After another pair of knockouts at GLORY 27, Dustin Jacoby won the middleweight "Contender" tournament and earned himself another Ramon Dekkers memorial trophy and more importantly, a shot at the GLORY middleweight title.

Jacoby, who until last August was on a five-fight losing streak, has won five straight fights (all by knockout) and two four-man tournaments (GLORY 23 and 27).
