Joe 'Stitch 'Em' Schilling is a friend and sometime striking coach to the Diaz brothers and, recently, Royce Gracie. The outspoken LA man faces Mike Lemaire in a Californian middleweight derby match which headlines the GLORY 27 CHICAGO SUPERFIGHT SERIES card going down at the Sears Center in Hoffman Estates, Chicago tonight.
The fight with Lemaire came together on two weeks' notice, Lemaire moving from a middleweight tournament slot on the numbered card to take this fight with Schilling in the headline slot of what will be GLORY's first card to air live on the UFC FIGHT PASS platform.
