A New Fight League Is Born: Boxing With Elbows | EFL| Daniel Gutierrez #boxing#efl #dirtyboxing

On this episode, Moe sits down with Daniel Gutierrez, a Filipino-Mexican American and longtime staple in the Muay Thai scene. Daniel is the owner of Defiant Fight Academy in Burbank, a gym known for its high-level training and community-driven sparring events that bring fighters together from all over Southern California.Daniel also breaks down his newest project — the launch of the EFL (Elbow Fighting League). EFL is a hybrid combat sport that blends boxing with elbows, creating a fast-paced, gritty style similar to dirty boxing, but with key differences. Fighters will use traditional 10oz boxing gloves, elbows are fully legal, there’s no ground and pound, and the glove design changes how exchanges unfold.Daniel’s vision for EFL is simple: make it fun, exciting, and fan-friendly while still respecting the fighters. The first EFL event will take place March 7 at Don Quixote in Los Angeles, hosted inside a nightclub venue — setting the tone for a new kind of fight experience.This episode dives into Daniel’s journey in Muay Thai, gym culture, building a promotion from the ground up, and why EFL could be something special for the fight scene.#MuayThai #CombatSports #ElbowFightingLeague #EFL #FightCulture #MartialArts #SoCalFights #Striking #FightPromotion #FightCommunity #DefiantFightAcademy #FightPodcast#dirtyboxingSocialsdefiant gym/danny-https://www.instagram.com/defiant_gym_burbank/Elbow fighting league-https://www.instagram.com/elbowfightleague/
