Kickboxing: Why middleweight is now the flagship weight class

The recent announcement of the trilogy match between Artem ‘The Lion' Levin and Joe ‘Stitch ‘Em Up' Schilling has confirmed that GLORY's middleweight division is its most compelling. Is middleweight now replacing heavyweight as the sport's flagship weight class?

GLORY middleweights weigh in at 187lbs and that number is starting to look highly appropriate as the top four fighters in the division are all real killers.

The Artem Levin vs. Joe Schilling III match was discussed recently by a Bloody Elbow/Liverkick panel. We're expecting a definitive clash between the two at GLORY 24 DENVER in October, notwithstanding the fight taking place at altitude.
