'Beautiful' Che Mills’ stand-up skills made him a fan favorite during his UFC run and now the British welterweight is keen to show them off on another platform. Mills spent much of 2015 on the sidelines with an injury and in the process determined that his heart lies more with striking than grappling. So, he’s going to try and get himself a spot on a GLORY card in 2016.
"I always kind of preferred the stand-up anyway. I would never diss MMA as such but I just kind of fell out of love with it," he says.
"I just found that on the days I would be training stand-up I would be looking forward to the session or come away from it feeling really good, I enjoyed it, but the grappling was something I was doing out of necessity, I didn't really love it like I did stand-up.
