GLORY kickboxing and Bellator middleweight Joe Schilling is out of his scheduled kickboxing bout on the Bellator Dynamite show on Sept. 19th. Bellator CEO Scott Coker confirmed the news Wednesday on the SiriusXM Fight Club.

Schilling was knocked out in his last bout at Bellator 139 on June 26th, having been stopped at 34 seconds into the second round opposite Hisaki Kato. Schilling was given a ninety-day medical suspension by the Kansas athletic commission, which overlaps with the scheduled September 19th Bellator Dynamite show.

According to Coker, no substitute for Schilling has yet been booked. Schilling did not have an announced opponent for the Dynamite event prior to being removed from the card.

Bellator’s Dynamite show takes place at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif. The main card will air on Spike TV.
