Valtellini's rise through the ranks has been astonishing. He debuted at GLORY 6 ISTANBUL as an unknown. Three fights and three stoppage wins later he was ranked #2 in the world and secondfavorite to win the GLORY 13 TOKYO Welterweight Championship Tournament. World #1 Nieky Holzken had other ideas though, stopping Valtellini in brutal, technically beautiful fashion.
