2 more fights confirmed for Glory 12 including Joe Schilling vs. Wayne Barrett headliner

Glory has confirmed two more fights for Glory 12 in New York. The night's headlining bout has been confirmed as Joe Schilling vs. Wayne Barrett, the other super fight announced is a heavyweight clash between Jhonata Diniz and Igor Jurkovic.

Schilling and Barrett were both last in action at Glory 10. Schilling won the Glory middleweight tournament with victories over Kengo Shimizu and Artem Levin while Barrett won his tournament reserve bout over Robby Plotkin. This fight will be very interesting, both fighters move well in the ring and have good boxing skills. A win for Barrett would sky rocket his already rising stock.

Glory 12 takes place November 23rd in New York, NY and will air on Spike TV.
