GLORY 33 results: Jason Wilnis knocks Simon Marcus down three times in third to win the GLORY middleweight title

Jason Wilnis (29-6-1) sure didn't get off to a great start last night (Fri., Sept. 9, 2016) in the headlining bout of the GLORY 33 Superfight Series, but he overcame his early mistakes and overwhelmed "Bad Bwoy" Simon Marcus (44-3-2) with punches in the third round to become the new GLORY middleweight champion. Wilnis, 25, defeated Marcus by technical knockout (three knockdowns) inside Sun National Bank Center in Trenton, NJ, in a rematch from their first encounter in the middleweight "Contender" tournament final at GLORY 20 Dubai back in April of 2015, where Marcus won by split decision. The official time of the stoppage came at 1:14 of Round 3.
