GLORY 21 SAN DIEGO goes down this Friday night on Spike TV with a four-man heavyweight tournament, a World Middleweight Championship fight and a co-main event encounter between Raymond Daniels and Bellator veteran Justin Baesman. Striking specialist Daniels clearly has the advantage, though GLORY debutant Baesman says he is also a striker first and foremost and wants to prove a point.
When Raymond ‘Real Deal' Daniels first signed for GLORY there were snorts of derision from the kickboxing hardcore; they didn't see his karate style and background in light-contact translating well to the ring. Daniels has proved them wrong in fine fashion, scoring some of the best knockouts in the organization's history.
