Daniel Ackerman
Rednose
Daniel is a true professional in Submission Wrestling and MMA. In 2001 he entered the "Ultimate Grappling Challenge" in Mössingen to become the European Champion in Submission Wrestling. In 2003 he repeated his success and conquered the crown of the European Champion for the second time at UGC 4. In December 2003 he gave his MMA debut against the German SHIDO MMA Grand Prix Champion Guiseppe Burgio at "Fists of Fury 3" and won impressively in under a minute via armbar. Only a couple of month later Daniel gave his international Pro debut at Vikingfight V: Best of Best in Copenhagen, where he fought under professional SHOOTO rules against the danish BJJ Champion Julian Nguyen. He beat the Dane with a triangle-choke early in round 1 and is now booked for most of the top European MMA labels.
