The former GLORY welterweight champion was none too pleased when Nieky Holzken called him out during their post-fight interview at GLORY 29 after Holzken defeated Yoann Kongolo to retain his title in Copenhagen, Denmark. Valtellini hasn't fought since being diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome last year.
Joseph Valtellini hasn't fought for GLORY since winning the welterweight title at GLORY: "Last Man Standing" back in June of 2014. His highly-coveted rematch with Nieky Holzken never materialized and there is a good reason for that.
Just when his career was hitting an all-time high, Valtellini, 30, was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome and was forced to abdicate his welterweight title in June of 2015.
