Dustin 'The Hanyak' Jacoby is a rather remarkable athlete. A starting quarterback for all of his college years, he took up MMA after graduation and quickly made it to the UFC. Then, with no kickboxing experience at all, he entered an eight-man tournament on 48hrs notice, knocked three people out in one night and earned a GLORY contract. And now he's got himself a middleweight title shot.
The title shot itself is all the more remarkable because of the road Jacoby (9-6, 6 KO's) travelled once he reached GLORY. His 2013 tournament win persuaded executives that they may have found the US star they were looking for.
