Will Raymond Daniels deliver another highlight-reel moment?
[autotag]Raymond Daniels[/autotag] scored one of the best knockouts of 2019 when he starched Wilmer Barros with a stunning 720-degree punch at Bellator Europe 2 in Birmingham, England. It gave the former kickboxing star his first win as a mixed martial artist, some 11 years after he lost his professional MMA debut, and showed that he was ready to launch himself into the fray as a legitimate threat at 170 pounds.
The next test for “The Human Highlight Reel” sees Daniels (1-1 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) take on [autotag]Jason King[/autotag], and expectations are high for another eye-catching display.
Indeed, Daniels told MMA Junkie he plans on winning “in a style that people haven’t seen before,” and is already eyeing future fights with the likes of Michael “Venom” Page and reigning Bellator welterweight champion Douglas Lima.
But before any thoughts can turn toward mouth-watering clashes like those, Daniels needs to do the business against King (8-5 MMA, 0-0 BMMA). If he can serve up an early contender for 2020’s “Knockout of the Year,” it might not be long before he gets that bump up in competition.
