MUAY THAI: GLORY 58 WEIGHTS FROM CHICAGO

Minnesotan’s Troy Jones Jr., Thomas Jenkins, and Kou Lee successfully made weight last night for Glory 58 which takes place tonight in Chicago, Illinois. The level of kickboxing doesn’t get any higher than that of Glory and all three fighters are confident that they will bring home victories. Powerhouse Kuchlong Kuchlong of The Academy was close to being the fourth Minnesota kickboxer to see action on short notice. Despite his teams best efforts, a fight could not be made. Look for Kuchlong to get a Glory fight in the near future.

The 12 times US National and North American amateur champion Jones is competing in a one night, four man tournament.
