GLORY 13 Tokyo - Joe Valtellini vs. Raymond Daniels (Full Video)

[@THFCMarcelo]

If people are wondering how you beat the karate elusive style, this is how you do it. chin down, hands up, cut off the ring, work the body and legs. perfect gameplan, karate fighters are very fast so trying to catch them is suicide. chop his legs down take away his movement then you got him.

[@danielbaker7629]

preach

[@universalmartialartscenter360]

Shogun did this against Machida in the UFC twice when Machida was a champ in his prime. Also to keep in mind, is to feint and counter their counter. Or use a little outside striking to pressure them into engaging and then counter them that way instead.

[@THFCMarcelo]

Universal Martial Arts Center yup great tactic by him. A true great thai fighter.

[@treroney4720]

every time someone like Joseph or Nikki strikes, it looks like a beautiful extremely well choreographed dance. wow Raymond on the other hand looks like a bunch of disjointed Furious put together. (No diss to Raymond, he is a pioneer for glory kickboxing.)

Asian Pursuasion Daniels is a high ranking blank belt in kenpo karate my friend.

[@brians7901]

Big fan of both these fighters. Bazooka Joe is so technical in everything he does its brilliant. His combinations are perfectly put together and his hands are always in position to defend. Daniels speed for his size is unreal and his accuracy with such advanced techniques is almost magical. Cant understand why kickboxing hasnt taken off to more popularity in America. The fighters are incredible and its all stand up which is almost everybody's favorite part of mma. I tell every mma fan who will listen to watch Glory

I still remember how RD kicked a guy two times in a row in the nuts with spinning back kick. He completely deserves this here.

We really don’t have to admire any part of him. He’s a dorky kicker with zero hands and leg kick defense. One dimensional striker. Being celebrated for their heart just means you’re a punching bag and that shouldn’t be admired

[@user-us6ie9uu8s]

Good point

[@WilsonColter]

These commentators are so slow to describe the action. They don't even point out how badly Daniels is hurt when he stops hopping around, begins leans stiffly on the left leg, and switches stances to protect the leg. They wait until Valtellini has pummeled the leg until they even mention it, and even then, they don't even point out how badly hurt the guy is, or how the leg kicks are what won the fight for Valtellini! The leg kicks crippled Daniels' movement and froze him up for Joe to land solid punches and the two great high kicks, which sealed the deal.

the problem with daniels style is mainly the size of the ring..its a ,lot smaller than an mma cage, which limits movement etc..this is why MVP is so successful with his style in mma..he has a lot more space there, whereas in these kickboxing competitions the muay thai based styles seem very efective because its much easier to cut someone off and into a corner..if mvp fought these kickboxing competitions, it would be a lot harder for him as well..

[@piro4351]

id still give him the advantage tho..specially in the octagon sized a lot of these world class muay thay guys would have a hard time because they r too stationary..

God damn those gloves are huge! Daniels Bellator fight brought me here.. Amazing kicker... but he throws a lot and a lot high from a far distance. A good wrestler would capitalize on that. The guy he fought in Bellator was was waaayy too slow for him though.. he couldn’t even move out of the way from the half assed kicks Daniels threw. ...but Daniels is very wild and throws a lot of uncalculated strikes. I think a lot of UFC vets especially top 5 guys, would make easy work of him. I’d put him at same level as Yair Rodriguez.

[@saltjunky]

Yair actually has a better ground game than Daniels, so Daniels is in trouble if he goes up against a wrestler.

[@scrumtubler4907]

Very sloppy punches from daniels. I doubt he could beat any solid mauy thai fighter. His blitz style would be shut down very quickly by leg kicks. This is a good example of that

Holy shit, man. I really like Joe Valtellini's style and athleticism. He needs work on some aspects of his game, but he has a really great foundation. I wish he was as young as he looks because that would mean he still has tons of time to get even better and develop more, but he's 30 now. His decline pretty much just begun. Some guys can extend their peak until about 35 and the extremely rare ones can go beyond that. But, usually, after 30, you only have a few more good years in you. I wish him the best. Very chill and humble style. No theatrics and peacock feathers. Just pure, technical, and focused fighting. Really like this guy a lot. Plus, a very admirable career outside of fighting.

Since that i train muaythai and kickboxing. Just want to train but cus of my taekwondo and boxing background i learned pretty quick and I still has the cardio. When you allowed to attack with every part of your body oooo my cardio is still very good. So I started my pro muaythai national debut in 2009. Won on 2nd round. Using the exactly what joe did 1-2 rear head kick

Raymond Daniels ha portato più tecniche,purtroppo tutto il suo kempo si basa sull'avere un'ottimo gioco di gambe,Joe l'ha capito e le ha bersagliate di calci devastanti,una volta che ha ridotto la sua mobilità non aveva chance,lo ha picchiato come un fabbro!Grande e meritata vittoria e per me enorme soddisfazione visto che Joe ha origini italiane,buone feste a tutti

Ah, so this is how you beat the Machidas and Wonder Boys of combat sports. Great fight!

[@johnasp3977]

Those leg kicks in round 2 and onwards were fcking brutal!!

[@suburbiajones2268]

This was a classic case of a kickboxer versus a Muaythai fighter. Raymond Daniels is definitely more skilled, he just needs to spend some time in Thailand. Yes this remind me of the movie kickboxer.

Joe came out with a great game plan and won easily...And I'm a big fan of the real Deal DANIELS..I even did a fight study of one of his fights on my channel...he very entertaining but much respect to Joe

[@richb5478]

Dude it's like the first round he just sat back and read his opponent and then the second and third round just came out and straight demolished in kid is a beast

Thank you Joe Rogan for introducing me. Also thank you Joseph Valtellini for being so well spoken and intelligent on the Joe Rogan Experience. God bless!

I love boxing but how somebody could want to watch boxing or Muay Thai/Kickboxing is insane to me. Such a shame the public isnt catching on to this yet
