Middleweight champion Simon Marcus and challenger Dustin Jacoby will be on ESPN Sportscenter on Wednesday to talk about their upcoming contest in the main event of GLORY 30 LOS ANGELES this Friday.

The pair will be joined by GLORY CEO Jon J. Franklin in ESPN's Los Angeles studios. They will be joined by Tiffany van Soest, the standout female fighter who hopes to be GLORY's first women's champion. She makes her debut on this Friday's Superfight Series card, which airs on UFC Fight Pass.

"Sportscenter is the No.1-rated sports show in the world and for GLORY to be represented on there is a great indication of the partnership between ESPN and GLORY," said Franklin.

"It's great for kickboxing everywhere and we are excited to have our athletes on that program. "We are excited to be able to work with a great network like ESPN to promote our programming through a variety of assets."

Sportscenter anchor Todd Grisham is also getting involved. GLORY has a backstage reporter at each event and he will be filling that role this Friday. The broadcaster has over five years experience with ESPN as a boxing and Mixed Martial Arts reporter. He now adds top-level kickboxing to his portfolio.
