Following Bellator 229 KO loss, Joe Schilling says he was unable to use right arm, broke left arm in first round

Known for his kill or be killed standup style, Joe Schilling was in a reflective mood following his latest loss.

The kickboxing specialist suffered a tough loss on Friday at Bellator 229, getting floored in the third-round of his middleweight bout with Tony Johnson.

It was the second time Schilling has been knocked out in six appearances for Bellator MMA – he also suffered a knockout loss in his Bellator Kickboxing debut in July 2016 – and the setback snapped a career-best two-fight winning streak.

Afterwards, Schilling posted a somber video statement on social media.
