Clyde Brunswijk
The powerful all-round fighter of Days Gym who keeps pushing boundaries.
At Days Gym we are proud of fighters who are not only strong in the ring, but also strong in character. Fighters who dare to grow. Who dare to change. Who keep challenging themselves, even when they have already proven they can perform at a high level.
Clyde Brunswijk is that kind of fighter.
An athlete with height, power, presence and experience. A fighter who built his name in kickboxing, but did not let himself be limited to one discipline. Clyde is not an athlete who stays safely within familiar boundaries. He is someone who keeps looking for new challenges. From kickboxing to MMA. From local venues to international arenas. From stand-up fighting to a more complete form of combat.
That makes his story special.
Clyde Brunswijk represents a different kind of championship mentality. Not just the mentality of winning, but the mentality of developing. Of starting over when necessary. Of learning, adapting and pushing on. That is exactly the kind of character Days Gym stands for.
A real fighter is not measured only by his record. A real fighter is measured by his willingness to grow.
And Clyde has shown that willingness time and time again.
A fighter with presence
There are fighters you only notice when the bell rings. Clyde Brunswijk you notice before the fight even starts.
His height, posture and presence make an immediate impression. He has the physical presence of a light heavyweight, but also the calm of someone who is used to pressure. A fighter who knows how it feels to stand under the lights. To have an opponent across from him. To hear the crowd, yet stay focused on what needs to be done.
That presence is not a show.
It is experience.
Clyde has fought on stages where mistakes are punished immediately. GLORY, Enfusion, international events and later MMA organizations as well: every step taught him something. About himself. About his body. About pressure. About timing. About what it means to pursue fight sports professionally.
At Days Gym we see in Clyde a fighter who is much more than just physically strong. He is someone shaped by experience. Someone who knows that fight sports are not only about hitting hard, but about dealing with tension, disappointment, fatigue and responsibility.
That makes him valuable to the gym.
Because young fighters can learn a lot from someone who has seen multiple sides of the sport.
From Surinamese roots to the Dutch fight-sport world
Clyde Brunswijk carries Suriname with him. On official fight-sport profiles his nationality and origin are linked to Suriname, while his career has become strongly connected to the Netherlands and Days Gym. That gives his story an extra layer.
He is a fighter with international colour, but also with a clear place within Dutch fight-sport culture.
The Netherlands has a long history in kickboxing. It is a country where fighters are tested, where gyms train hard and where talent alone is never enough. You have to be able to work. You have to be able to take punishment. You have to be able to listen. You have to be able to stay standing when it gets hard.
Clyde has held his own in that world.
That says a lot.
Because the Dutch kickboxing world is not an easy environment. You do not get through it on presence alone. You have to perform. You have to prove yourself. You have to go rounds against men who are just as hungry as you are.
Clyde has done that. And he has done it in a way that fits Days Gym: with power, discipline and the will to keep going further.
Days Gym as home base
For us at Days Gym, Clyde Brunswijk is not just another name from the fight world. He is a fighter who is officially linked to the gym. Enfusion lists Days Gym as his gym, and Tapology lists Days Gym as his affiliation.
That matters, but the story goes deeper than a profile listing.
A gym is more than a place where someone trains. A gym is an environment. A culture. A family of trainers, sparring partners, competitive fighters and members who keep each other sharp. In a good gym you do not just get fitter. You are confronted with yourself.
Clyde fits that culture.
He is a fighter who knows the hard side of the sport. The preparation. The sacrifices. The moments when your body hurts, but you keep going anyway. The tension of a fight week. Making weight. The final instructions. The silence just before you walk to the ring.
Those are experiences that cannot be faked.
When a fighter like that is connected to Days Gym, it says something about the level in the gym. It says that real fight sport lives here. Not just classes, but experience. Not just recreation, but ambition. Not just training, but development.
Brunsie: a name with character
On his GLORY profile, Clyde is listed with the nickname “Brunsie”. A short name, but one that sticks.
In fight sports, nicknames matter. They say something about how people see you. About your presence. About your personality. About the energy you bring to the ring.
With Clyde the name fits because he is recognizable. He is not an anonymous fighter. He has a presence of his own. His own way of moving. His own story.
But behind that name is above all an athlete who worked hard for his place.
Clyde did not follow one simple route. He chose multiple routes. Kickboxing. MMA. International fights. Different weight classes. Different kinds of opponents. That demands adaptability.
And that may well be one of his strongest qualities.
Many fighters are dangerous as long as the fight stays exactly the way they are used to. But as soon as the sport changes, the distance changes or the rules change, they fall back.
Clyde dared to embrace exactly that change.
That makes him interesting. That makes him mature as a fighter. And that makes him a strong example for everyone who trains at Days Gym.
The power of a light heavyweight
Clyde Brunswijk is listed at GLORY as a Light Heavyweight, with a height of 1.93 meters and a weight of 95 kilograms. Tapology lists him in MMA with a height of 198 cm. Because sources differ on this, we prefer the safe line: Clyde is a tall, physically strong fighter who has been active around light heavyweight and middleweight.
His physique is an important part of his fighting style.
A tall fighter has advantages, but only when he uses them well. Height by itself does not win fights. You have to be able to keep distance. You have to know when to fight long and when to work up close. You have to guard your balance. You have to prevent smaller opponents from getting inside your reach.
Over his career, Clyde has shown that he can combine his physical qualities with power and experience. His win over Muhammed Balli at GLORY Rivals 2, via a knee to the body in the second round, shows exactly what kind of danger he can bring when he uses his reach and power at the right moment.
Moments like that make a fighter dangerous.
Not only because he can land, but because he can turn the fight around at any moment.
GLORY, Enfusion and international experience
Clyde Brunswijk has fought on stages that are well known within the kickboxing world. His GLORY profile lists an overall record of 54 wins, 9 losses and 1 draw, with 16 KOs, and a GLORY record of 1 win and 1 loss.
Within Enfusion he is registered with a record of 2 wins and 1 loss, with wins over Fred Sikking via TKO and Fatih Ulusoy on points. His win over Fatih Ulusoy took place at Enfusion 117 in Dubai, where Tapology likewise notes that Clyde won via unanimous decision over three rounds.
Those are facts that matter for his story.
Not because a record says everything, but because it shows that Clyde has not only been active locally. He has stood on international stages. He has fought under major organizations. He has the experience of travelling, performing and adapting.
For Days Gym that is valuable.
Because a gym builds authority through the people who carry its name. When Days Gym fighters appear at organizations like GLORY and Enfusion, it says something about the level present in the gym. It shows that the gym in Almere is connected to the wider fight-sport world.
That is something Days Gym can be proud of.
The move to MMA
What makes Clyde Brunswijk extra special is his move to MMA.
Many kickboxers stay within stand-up fighting their whole career. That is understandable. Kickboxing is hard enough already. But MMA demands something else. It demands a new way of thinking. A different distance. Different risks. Wrestling. Grappling. Cage work. Ground fighting. The ability not only to be strong on the feet, but to become complete as a fighter.
Clyde dared to take that step.
Tapology lists him as a professional MMA fighter with a record of 6 wins and 2 losses. Four of those wins are registered as KO/TKO, one via submission and one via decision. That says something about his development: he is not just a striker who does MMA “on the side”, but a fighter who has found different ways to win.
That move says a lot about his mentality.
It is easy to stay where you are good. It is harder to become a student again. To make yourself vulnerable in a new discipline. To accept that you have to learn again, build again and be tested again.
Clyde chose growth.
And that is exactly the mentality we value at Days Gym.
The lesson of Clyde Brunswijk
Clyde’s story matters for young fighters, because it shows that a career does not always have to be one straight line.
Sometimes you grow by winning.
Sometimes you grow by losing.
Sometimes you grow by changing discipline.
Sometimes you grow by reinventing yourself.
Clyde shows that fight sports are not only about protecting your name, but about expanding your possibilities. He could have stayed with what he knew. But he chose to become more than just a kickboxer. He became an all-round fighter.
That is a powerful message.
For young talents at Days Gym it means: keep learning. Do not think too quickly that you are finished. Do not become arrogant because you are good at one thing. Stay open. Stay coachable. Stay willing to test yourself again.
A real fighter is never finished.
Clyde Brunswijk is an example of that.
What Clyde means for Days Gym
For Days Gym, Clyde Brunswijk represents power, experience and daring.
He is a fighter who has stood on big stages. An athlete who has measured himself against strong opponents. A name linked to GLORY, Enfusion and MMA. But above all, he is someone who shows that Days Gym is connected to fighters with real ambition.
His story helps explain what Days Gym is.
Days Gym is not just a place where people come to sweat.
It is a place where fighters grow.
A place where experience is built.
A place where discipline becomes visible.
A place where beginners can start, but where professionals can also guard their standard.
Clyde shows that that standard is real.
For parents who want their child to take up sport, his story shows that fight sports can provide structure. For young people it shows that discipline can open doors. For adults it shows that strength is not only physical. And for competitive fighters it shows that Days Gym is an environment where ambition is taken seriously.
That is why Clyde deserves a place among the champions and top fighters of Days Gym.
The fighter who keeps building
What makes Clyde Brunswijk special is that he is not stuck in one chapter.
He has a kickboxing past.
He has international experience.
He has made the step to MMA.
He has won with power, with control and with a fighter’s mentality.
And he remains a name that shows how broad fight sports can be when someone is willing to keep building.
That may well be the core of his story.
Clyde is not only a fighter of results. He is a fighter of development. Of change. Of daring to start again. Of continuing to challenge yourself.
At Days Gym we recognize that mentality.
Because in our gym it is not only about who you are today. It is about who you are willing to become.
