  • The Only Thing I do not like about this sport, is the fact that the rules are work against a Muay Thai Warrior, (no clinching.) It is basicly Karate and TKD. And that is fine but what gets to me is why Muay Thai has not taken off in the states??? Even thou it is used in MMA as the main striking art. My opinion is A straight Muay Thai fight is more intresting then this type of fight and MMA.

  • My brother wants to fight you soo bad to the quebec open in april...he just started after 13 years break...fo sure you gonna win it ...but hes traaining hard to reach the grand champ...and if he does im gonna post the fight :P

  • Raymond Daniels would FUCK UP Anderson Silva. The UFC pepps up their boys to be the best fighters in the world. Ya, they're awesome... but not the best.

  • @showmegoodstuff daniels & silva are far from being the best in the world, atleast until they step up to the elite of competition in the kickboxing world

  • @showmegoodstuff Dude, Daniels fights hands down, chin up, bouncing around like a rubber ball on crack to throw fancy taekwondo kicks. Get in his face, put on pressure, win every time.

    Daniels wouldn't even survive B class kickboxing fights. Silva however holds a record of victories over the better part of the A class fighters. Check his recent fight with Michael Duut for an example. Good, solid defense, combination power, Silva is a typical exponent of Dutch kickboxing.

  • i remember i was at a karate show once and raymond daniels was sooo annoying! he was just yelling and yelling and then he tried to start this chant thing but no one joined him lol. he sooooo loud!

  • You can knock anyone out, with any style, if you become a master at it. Daniels uses the rules, depending on the competition, adapts, then knocks people out. Hating on him, just shows how weak you are.

  • i love semi contact.... but this wcl is perfect raymond we love u!!!

  • no hes style is karate hes my sensei....

  • raymon daniels kicking style looks more like taekwondo ??

  • What are the rules in WLC?

  • @mandag34 Basically regular kickboxing rules (like used in the K1 system), but it's team-based rather than individual, and fighters wear (fairly thin) shin protectors.

    Fighters themselves however have been almost exclusively from full contact karate oriented styles, whereas most kickboxing (Dutch/European or Japanese) has a style very different. You'd never see anyone drop his hands like Daniels did, because the level of boxing is way above what's soon here, even in B or C class.

  • @Blahb27 is thai kickboxing (muay thai) very different from what i c in k1 (dutch kickboxing)?

  • @AintDoneYet123 That's another variation. Muai thai rules allow the use of elbows, and prolonged clinching. Throws score points, and blocked attacks also score. They fight five rounds instead of three.

    In style, the Thai often are much slower paced, and prone to gladiator-style showings of toughness like a long exchange of predictable but hard midkicks.

    Dutch kickboxing is characterised by combination oriented fighting, a good boxing base, and combinations often finished by lowkicks.

  • @Blahb27 it gives the impression that dutch style kickboxing is better

    more aggressive, better use of hands and a lot of combinations except for the fact that they dont use elbows

  • @AintDoneYet123 yeah it is. dutch style is better with punches but the power i think belongs to muay thai. as well as kicks and clinch. as well as knees and elbows. but u shuld use ur hands mostly anyway when u fight to set up the kicks. so idk which is better. hard call.

  • @vespaman101 yeah i kinda realized that from watching a few k1 fights, fighters dont really use clinch fighting that much and dont use elbows (obviously cuz its against the rules), most fighters just dont train on it i guess, the ones who do from what ive seen are Buakaw and Alistair Overeem, pretty good control in the clinch, i think long range dutch is kinda better cuz thats all they train on i dont know much about muay thai matches cuz i dont watch many of them

  • @AintDoneYet123 i watch some muay thai here and there. alot of fast power strikes. alotta kncokouts lol. they shuld use more head movement and footwork but i mean..it works very very well. i train in muay thai when im at school under this pro kickboxer. he's real good man. i think to b e the best u gotta train in both tho for sure.

  • @Blahb27

    arent kicks below the waist forbidden in regular kickboxing? Because WCL allows everything above the knee.

    Also knee strikes

  • @2ane No, in kickboxing, kicks below the waist are allowed, ussually meaning they're aimed just above the knee to damage the leg muslces.

    American Full Contact Karate like we saw in this video is basically kickboxing with the lowkicks removed. In addition, the styles are very heavily geared towards karate and taekwondo compared to kickboxing.

    I compile a list of good kickboxing fights in my favourites list. Have a look if you want examples.

  • @mandag34 no ground brawling = awesome

  • does every city have a team i know denever does

  • roy jones jr of kick boxing

  • karate rulezz!

  • He'd be an excellent fighter if he didn't showboat so much.

  • He's a good fighter but he's just pitching techniques. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. there is no strategy...

  • @raphtkd well, if you do martial arts, you have several techniques, that you like and you good at. You use these on a competition. When you start the fight you got to decide which ones can be effective against that person. And you only have seconds for that. And in Daniels' case he's got routine and strategy too

  • Comment removed

  • Raymond Daniel, aside from great martial artist, is a terrific human being and father. Btw, I love WCL... its very entertaining. No ground sex rule is very good...

  • i don't know how he'd do in the octagon but i have to say, this fight entertained me way more than the majority of the fights i see in the UFC

  • @lohan570 Exactly. I didn't know much about WCL but this looks more spectaculair. If they would add some grappling it would be better then UFC. This circle looks much better and closer to the public then the cage.

  • the guys that ray is fighting is weak.

  • weak

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • цирк/circus

    

  • It's like a Martial Arts version of Muhammed Ali.

  • anderson silva would destroy this guy

  • good fighter, but too arrogant.

  • What a cocky dickhead.. I would love to see him in K1.....maybe against Buakaw? lol he wouldnt last one round

  • Comment removed

  • Dude, please don't be racist.

  • Yea, I couldnt agree with you more. None the less, this is pretty interesting with all the spinning kicks.

  • @Namssorg1

    no doubt, WCL is very entertaining. i just

    feel like some of the players think they are

    world class kickboxers which obviously

    isn't the case lol

  • @yardkyle Who are you to say they arn't?? They compete in competitions an win, thats a kickboxing world champion, just becuase they don't compete in some other competition doesn't mean they're any less of a fighter, different rules is different rules. That's all.

  • @clangersrule it is true what you say. They are winners. But they are only champions in there country and only in there sport. I am talking about putting these guys in and international tournament like K1with all countries and all kickboxing styles. The best of the best so to speak. I don't think these WCL fighters would last very long at all.

  • @yardkyle What ARE! you talking about? By saying that you clearly have no idea who raymond daniels is.

    He's a world WAKO (WORLD, associasion(for any) of kickboxing organizations) champion,

    He's won countless times in the irish open(originally a charity event an by right still is), the most prestgious allstyle/kickboxing tournament in europe where only world class figters show up and win!

    By right WCL should be considered as K1 as it allows for knee attacks.

    Take boxing as an example

  • It's 2 men, smashing each other in the face with all their power. How is this any different apart from they use what they know and are allowed, they're beating the shit into each other.

    Im from brittain, all i have to go on frmo the WCL fighters is youtube, an from what i see, these guys are built for fighting, proper fighting. Which is what you're seeing, i doubt afew of them could compete, but the LA allstars are a world dominant team, with raymond daniels as their allstar member

  • @clangersrule Then he should join K1 and compete for some big payouts, not just charity events. I don't think he would last very long though lol

  • @yardkyle Why would he when you get more respect an prooves himself in well known competitions for world titles? Money is money, that proves nothing. FYI he gets paid to go round the world an fight for his country an for the allstar not to mention his sponsors. That's where the most money can be earned an he doesn't even have to win an he gets paid. This is where the real money is. You don't win that much from competitions.

  • @clangersrule

    You are right about money making. My point is simply that WCL is a relatively unknown league compared to K1. If a kickboxing want to compete with the best and prove his skill it would probably be best for him to enter the most popular and the biggest kickboxing competition in the world, which is K1 right now...

  • @yardkyle You make a good point, i would love to see this! I think raymond would do really well.

  • @clangersrule i think he would get killed lol

  • @yardkyle

    He's a bit big for Buakaw, but Buakaw would definitely win anyhow.

    I'd love to see him brutalised by Bonjasky. Or better yet, Kaoklai!

  • what a fake fighter , never seen that much ego in a ring before .

    and for defeating someone who stood there like a punching bag... i loved the cart wheel though , what a child.

  • are u serious

    wat genki sudo

    but he does it for fun and the joy of it lol

  • i luv how they call it world combat league but its actual teams in the usa r they fighter from different countries

  • I love people fight with kicks like him..of course, I don't like him because he joke too much,but he is a good fighter..I'd like to see him in the K1

  • Hes a great fighter but he looks like a douche bag with all his show boating.. lay off that shit bro, and you will be great!!

  • What about if the WCL instituted a VCA-style scoring? In professional pool, a team's members are ranked according to their previous performance, kindof like an ELO system. If a 3 ranked pool player is fighting a 6, the 6 has a handicap. COuld be interesting, and lend some actual team strategy to the league.

    Persoanlly, I think the WCL has all kinds of potential. The crispness of the technique is a sharp contrast to "MMA".

  • awfully tired of all of the style vs. style arguments. there are techniques that work and techniques that don't. some work on certain people and not others. there is no such thing as a perfect fighting system. a true martial artist isn't so closed minded that he only uses technique from his "style" and writes everything else off as bullshit. fighting's fighting. use what works not just whats on your requirement sheet.

  • @deadsailor86 Finally someone who understands martial arts!

  • @deadsailor86 I dont know if you are aware of it. but you are quoting bruce lee.

  • @deadsailor86 Statement that bruce lee made a long time ago!!

  • @deadsailor86 Or just keep the peace, and not worry about something as silly as fighting :)

  • @deadsailor86 could not have said it better myself man your 100% right

  • @deadsailor86 usually the people starting the arguements have never trained in any style or never been an a physical confrontation and just learn the stuff that they do know off of youtube...

  • IF Raymond is this damn good. Why he's not fighting in K-1? That extreme Kickboxer competition.

  • raymond daniels actually did an mma fight against a nobody in HDNet fights. As you might expect he was thrown on his back and destroyed. Never mounted an offense at all.

  • @returnofclank Yes, becuase he was on his back.

  • tkdyo, it's pointless to argue with ignorance. Arguing with these kids is equal to arguing with Sheila Jackson Lee LOL!!!

  • both are so bad...the hands of the winner are ever down.

    he should fight vs a kickboxer mauy thai artist. they will knock him out in 20 sek.

    very bad fighter. TkD fighter should fight only lightcontact or in pitty world combat league

  • Aside from your atrocious grammar, you have no idea what you're talking about. Because they choose to have a style with finesse makes them bad fighters? Do you even realize the power behind Tae Kwon Do?

    Very unlikely. Go back to your UFC Cockfights.

  • Will people ever get tired of saying which fighting style is better than what and just watch the video?

  • its funny how people say wcl people will get killed and mma, but if u take the best mma striker and put them against jason tankson, raymond daniels, they would get killed. FLATOUT. thats why metcalf took raymond down. he was too much of a pussy to strike with him.

  • So are you telling me that Anderson Silva will get killed against Raymond Daniels or Jason Tankson?..................HAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LMAO!!!!! Get the fuckkkk outttaaaa here troll!!

  • That's because. MMA is a much more realistic and natural form of fighting. I love to watch the WCL because of the beautiful striking skills but in MMA if Raymond Daniels mistimed one of those beautiful spinning kicks he'd get taken down and submitted or pummeled from full mount. It's already been proven that to succeed in MMA you have to be a completely well rounded fighter. Just go watch the early UFC shows. And I think that Anderson Silva or Cung Le could give these guys a run for their money.

  • thats what they said about karate look at machida now

  • machida wont last, and he uses bjj aslo u tool.

    thses WCL dickheads would get killed in MMA

  • well i know that ground and pound works better than stand up but its less entertaining XD its cooler fighting like this. and u cant compare mma with other sports or martial art cuz its everything lol. for example u cant say mma is better than boxing cuz then no shit mma has boxing in it hence its called mixed martial arts.

  • I will post this once..i get tired of the bashers..one thing raymond daniels is a great fighter..in the sence that hes entertaining and thats exactly what chuck norris wanted for this..hes electric..second not everyone wants to see mma fighting it can get slow...or end too quick..wcl and kickboxing is a spectators sport...dont hate on somone just becuase they arent what you want them to be..his attitude is humble outside the ring i know for a fact..its just a show..and he beats people down lol

  • @omartist amen!!

  • such awesome video

    I'd give it 10 stars

  • I would love to see this bitch in k1

  • What i don't understand is why doesn't anyone move like Daniels. He moves like a point fighter. And he awesome, but the guys hes facing have no foot work all. WTF!?? I want to see him have a hard fight against someone that could match him for once.

  • just throw in a Gracie there and it's over. armbar in 3 seconds

  • you do know this is a striking match right???

  • yes, and it has one 3 minute round which makes it more entertaining and challenging than K1 or King Of Sanda. just saying dude

  • i was just pertaining to the gracie thing you said. oh well

  • I love you

  • Daniels would destroy any Gracie in a WCL match. He didn't do so hot in his Strikeforce MMA debut though.

  • Daniels throws a kick the Gracie goes for a twisting arm lock then an armbar and it's over

  • In MMA. There's no grappling in the WCL. And modern Mixed Martial Arts is all about being Multi-Dimensional. You can't come in there with just BJJ anymore. Royce Gracie in his prime would get tooled by Georges St. Pierre worse than he did against Matt Hughes. GSP could force him to stand and pick him apart or take him down and pound him. I love the Gracies but the sport has passed them by. There isn't a single Gracie in the Top 10 of any weight class in MMA.

  • ya I was talking about MMA Royce isn't much of a striker but Rickson is. Ya it's true that the Gracies haven't come back yet but they're still awesome and their students are great

  • Rickson had nice Ground and Pound but he never fought a decent striker. I would have liked to see him fight Wanderlei Silva in PRIDE. The Gracies have been producing goo students who become MMA fighters. Grappling is essential to MMA but it is important to cross-train. Daniels lost to Metcalf because he didn't have a ground game or takedown defense. If he cross-trained he could be a force.

  • no dude Rickson is awesome

  • RIckson was awesome but he was not a standup fighter. I don't think he would do well striking with Anderson Silva for instance.

  • Daniels is one if not the Most talented martial artist in the WCL he's entertaining to watch fight but I hate his taunting its disrespectful and annoying

  • ezzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! The Real Deal

  • ehsan shafiq will kick both of these ..

    100% sure

  • then why doesnt he???

  • i dont know man

    u can call him ,....and challenge him if u want

    u can find his nr, in youtube.....

  • pass, all that jumping and spinnig shit makes me dizzy. besides my motto is when in doubt, use a weapon

  • daniels you're great...but i don't want see you in UFC another time...ok?

  • This fight is actully fro season 2 not season 1. In season one they wore point fighting foot pads.

  • I LOVE DANIELS !!!!!

    HE IS MY IDOL...

  • they dont even put up this guys mma debut cause he got choked out like a bitch

  • mma gets boring once it gets to the ground

  • true.. lotta action here. i'm likin this.

  • i agree, these fighters have a furious tempo, and they are so fast and very light on their feet.

  • your both fags muay thai pwns you all with some jiu jitsu thrown in

  • This is nice to look at, but terrible quality compared to K1. But hey, someone sure makes money with that...

  • the best cick was at the 0.23

  • This is 100% taekwondo!!!

  • punches are forbidden in ur gay tkd so shut the fuck up faggot

  • look up ITF taekwondo and stop hatin'.

  • I have, and it sucks.

  • you were saying that tkd doesn't allow punches, and the itf clearly does. saying itf sucks doesn't excuse that you were wrong.

    ...and i'm sure you'd get your ass handed to you in one of their tournaments.

  • tkd kittens kick my ass, sure, LAWL.

  • glad to see you agree.

  • taekwondo is the shittest gay martial art ever, actually its not even a martial art is ballet with kicks and any TKD poof would get fucken smashed in a street fight against anyone who knew that they were doin.

  • i've held my own PLENTY of times against other martial arts. so what're you really sayin'?

    i ain't on no "foot fist way" shit. pardon me for preparing to get ingnorant, but i does this.

    true, fighting in the confines of TKD is hella limited, so i fight other styles to mix things up (ie muay thai, karate, etc). i'd be more interesting in fighting in an ITF touney than WTF tho.

  • why do all nerds on youtube so they are fighters for?

  • i'll answer that question when i understand it.

  • lol nice sentance construction you fucking douchebag

  • Says the guy named bjjgangster, obviously you know ALL about fighting.

    Tae Kwon Do does have some flashy kicks, yes. But then tell me why MMA takes kicks such as the Spin Side and quick Roundhouse from it? Obviously you're ignorant, speaking from a biased point of view.

    Now is that saying all TKD fighters will stand a chance? No. But that isn't because of their style, it's because of their personal ability.

  • Fuk your a dickhead, u obviously r as stupid as u sound, TKD is a gay non practical faggot form of dancing with kicks, even Joe Rogan said it and he's been involved with TKD all his Life. Get over it, and except it that TKD is shit.

  • maybe you dont know...but there are many styles of tkd, just like there are many forms of other martial arts. Joe Rogan has probably been involved in the kind of tkd that focuses on point sparring. but, there are also branches that have it for more self defense purposes. Anderson Silva uses both Muay thai AND tkd in his fights, I think that proves enough.

  • Um no he doesnt, hes only BJJ and Muay Thai

  • Um, yes he has a black belt in tkd which he got when he was 18. I still see him do some of the things that i was taught to do.

  • oh fuk off, face it TDK is gay shit, get over it.

  • lol, you're just mad cause I was right. Believe me, there is sport tkd, which is more wide spread cause its easier to advertise, and then there is traditional tkd which works. I just has to be blended with other elements, just like every other martial art.

  • nope u r wrong, TKD is shit and shit it will stay 4 ever.

  • lol, ur like one of those people who plug their ears and go "lalalala" even when presented as a fact. Good luck with that in life

  • hahaa got fuk yourself, i dont care TDK in my books will alwayz be shit and gay so dont worry about it

  • @bjjgangster you dumb shit cunt. you need to go fuck your mom bitch. there is no better syle you fucking retard. you are gay! its taught in mma shit head

  • Tae Kwon Do practitioners would have to adapt their style for a real combat situation like Lyoto Machida does with his karate is they wanted to stand a chance in MMA.

  • doesn't raymond daniels do taekwondo? correct me if i'm wrong please

  • He's a karate man, I believe.

  • thank you :)

  • yeah, has to be karate, tkd is gay and doesnt allow punches on it, so fucking gay

  • dude, taekwon-do isn't gay, unless you do ITF and not Olympic style because ITF allows hand attacks to the head. or you can always cross train with boxing.

  • you just said it, cross train with boxing meaning TKD alone its SHIT

  • seriously i don't think you know what taekwondo means in korean. tae - kick, hand - punch, do - the way. hence 'the way of the punch and kick' so can i ask you one question? what MA do you do? not trying to ague or anything, it looks like you're just ready for a debate.

  • lol fag, theyre not using tkd, some one already told you what you want here? is not tkd, tkd is shit, tkd videos are shit, tkd fighters are shit, you had the hope they were using tkd but rayumond danields is a karate guy, so what the fuck fag? not tkd, get your smelly fucking ass from here cunt

  • do u only do tang soo do and use comments on youtube to argue with ppl?

  • And I do tang soo do karate, not like your stupid gay ass tkd, stupid faggot

  • Oh I just saw ur tkd video, god you suck.. your a fat ass and slow paralyzed kid, even the black belt sucks, I was better than both of you when I was a purple belt, god really.. tkd schools just want the fucking money, the proof its in your video, my school wouldnt give you a new belt if you sucked in the test which is the most intense karate examinations ever, you are one hell of a faggot that doesnt have a clue of real martial arts, you train tkd you think its the shit, your just immature boy.

  • I just realized that you were the black belt on the video.. oh my fucking god you must feel have suicidal thoughts because you fail at life, you are a disgrace to black belts, either shows how greedy your school is or how brain dead you are

  • Alright you win, I never asked for this debate ok? just saying it's not the MA that counts, its the fighter. just defending my MA here, no need to be personal o.o i'll agree with you that SOME tkd people suck but hey, there's bound to be someone better.

    also on your 3rd comment you're just talking about mcdojangs...my dojang isn't like that, they don't cash off people.

  • I dont know, Im looking at the facts, your a black belt and you suck bad

  • Oke..

    i'm kind of bugged out about you americans idolising your fighters....

    plz do name ONE american fighter that had succes outside america!!!!

    and for the haters... yes i'm dutch... so we have provided you guys with some of the best mma trainers..... and we also OWN the K1 leage..

    wich is regarded the thoughest fighting leage EVER....

    peace out....

  • psh, there are tons of amazing american fighters that have done good outside of america, wow, look at henderson, and all of the american fighters that where at pride and did good...... besides there are people comming from all over the place to fight in the ufc, in....... oh yeah, that's in america with all the good fighters.

  • Shiney Pants Kickboxing.

    All those that think this owns MMA, get a life and stop playing Tekken!

  • this is exciting stuff. i cant believe i didnt know about this league

  • they run it on VS. chuck norris is partners in it

  • bruce lee is better....

    wait, what?

  • if there is one person id hate to fight its a tae kwon doe master like daniels, id be scared to even shoot for the legs

  • Daniels doesnt do tae kwon-do...shotokan karate i believe...

  • oh

    well that shit is crazy

  • they fight so sloppy

  • ?? being slightly sloppy is good. And I wouldnt see you or anyone beating Daniels anyday

  • I didnt say I would beat him I just said the way they fight is sloppy and if you think Daniels is so good why isn't he taking on guys in K-1

  • good point. I think its because hes more popular where he is right now. he beats everyone and is therefore a more distinguished fighter in the wcl then in the

    k1

  • Daniels is good but doesn't have the sprawl to compete in mma yet. Crazy kicks though, potential to KO anyone who stands with him.

  • daniels is good but cung le would kill him

  • dude cung le would fuck him up hella bad.

  • dude raymond daniels got knocked the fuck out vs muay thai ju jutsu fighter

  • .... he actually knocked out a muy thai guy this week XD
