Joe Schilling vs. Robert Thomas added to Glory 19

The Glory 19 fight card continues to grow. The event which will take place February 6th at the  Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia has added Joe Schilling vs. Robert Thomas.

Schilling recently returned to MMA with a vicious knockout of Melvin Manhoef under the Bellator promotion. His last action in Kickboxing was at Glory: Last Man Standing this past June when he made it to the finals of the eight-man one night tournament before coming up short against Artem Levin for the Glory Middleweight Championship. The pair have now split their match ups and it is safe to say that with a win against Thomas, Schilling will get a shot at Levin's belt.

Thomas is one of Canada's up and coming fighters. He was last in action at Glory 18 when he scored a KO over veteran Mike Lemaire. The only two losses of Thomas's career have come to current Glory Middleweight Champion Artem Levin and top ranked Glory fighter Alex Perreira.
