Raymond Daniels on training with Rory MacDonald: 'People are going to be pleasantly surprised'

The high-flying Bellator Kickboxing star helped prepare Rory MacDonald for his upcoming bout against Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson at UFC Fight Night 89.

Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson's (12-1) style is one that is incredibly hard to emulate, which is precisely why the No.1-ranked Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight, Rory MacDonald (18-3) brought in Raymond Daniels to help him prepare for his upcoming fight at UFC Fight Night 89 on Saturday (June 18, 2016).

Daniels, 35, was a standout welterweight in GLORY kickboxing and recently signed on with Bellator Kickboxing, where he made his debut on the new promotion's inaugural show in Torino, Italy, scoring a knockout victory in 30 seconds after dropping Francesco Morrica with a spinning-back kick to the liver.
