GLORY makes its stateside return on Friday night (Feb. 26, 2016) with GLORY 27 at Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Ill., the kickboxing promotion's first offering of the new year.
The card will be headlined by a middleweight title fight between current champ, Artem "The Lion" Levin (50-4-2) and the No. 2-ranked contender, Simon "Bad Bwoy" Marcus (42-2-2). This matchup will be the rubber match between the two fighters, who fought to a draw in their last fight at GLORY 21 in San Diego last May.
The main event was originally scheduled for GLORY 24 this past October, but Marcus had to withdraw with an injury.
