Glory’s kickboxing champion, Nieky Holzken, knows a thing or two about high level striking. He’s amassed a hall-of-fame worthy pro-record and recently took a trip to Vitor Belfort’s training camp to get some work in. While there, the two got in a full contact kickboxer vs. UFC fighter sparring match, and the kickboxer showed these guys what was up, nearly finishing the UFC’s best in the process.
Of course, had this not been a gym fight among training partners, things might have ended bad for the MMA fighter, still though, the video above tells us a lot about the levels to the striking game.
This story is has two videos in it, the one above, and the one below, which show Holzken working more in depth with Vitor Belfort as he aids the legend in critical technique.
