Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2018-04-06, some good single shots between Raymond Daniels and Djibril Ehouo but it is not enough to get three stars: it gets two.The black belt in American kenpo, karate, tae-kwon-do and current Bellator kickboxing champion Raymond Daniels entered this fight with a professional record of 33-3-0 and he is ranked as the No.9 super middleweight in the world. He lost to Nieky Holzken in 2015 (Holzken vs Daniels 2) but then he has won six bouts beating Csaba Gyorfi, Karim Ghajji (Karim Ghajji vs Raymond Daniels) and Giannis Boukis in 2017.
His opponent, Djibril Ehouo, has an official record of 38-9-2 and he entered as the No.18 in the same weight class but he won just one out of his seven fights of 2017; he has also fought once in 2018 beating Yuri Bessmertny. Daniels vs Ehouo is valid for the Bellator Kickboxing welterweight championship title (Daniels’ first defense); undercard of Benson Henderson vs Roger Huerta – Bellator 196 (Bellator Kickboxing 9).

Very good win for Daniels since his rival has much more experience in the ring and a a good fighting record. His kicking skills made a substantial difference in this bout.
