Reinventing Paul Daley

[Mind Mine]

If you were a fan during his UFC era you were probably shocked Dana never gave him another chance. The truth is Paul Daley lost his cool and gave Josh Koscheck a light punch after the fight. Paul Daley will always be a UFC fighter in my book. Since they are giving former felons and drug addicts redemption would anyone mind seeing Paul Daley replace Anthony Smith on occasion calling fights to see if he has the chops?

PERKS:
1. UK name value
2. Old stale fart love possibly hence the thread
3. Everyone loves a tale of redemption
4. Dude has the Tyson look. Smith looks like a killer but well…

Tbf I actually heard him call a fight on Bellator once and he was pretty good.

I always thought it was suspicious that Josh Koscheck raised his hand to block the punch, as if he knew the punch was coming. Josh hadn't even shown that good of striking defense in actual fights. Josh was talking crazy trash and faked those illegal shots during the fight so he goaded Daley to hit him? This is not to excuse Daley's cheap shot though

He could have still been in the groove and saw it. I dunno but Daley back announcing would bring a smile

I was looking for it I hear his interviews and he sounds as good as Smith. I only use Smith because it would be the smoothest replace

It was nowhere near injury power

 

[Hellowhosthat]

I do kind of think getting cut was probably worth it as it ultimately lead to him getting the best seat in the house for that Chael and Tito jackal story press conference.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Nah. What he did was ban worthy. I like him too because I don't cut people slack just because I'm a fan. He had 15 minutes to do whatever he wanted to Josh and tried to snake him and failed.

GOAT Fight

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Dana said you never hit someone when they don't expect it. He never would and never has. You can't do that and all that.

 

[Flower2dPeople]

He suckerpunched his opponent after the bell. He should be in prison. But it's Koscheck so he should get a bonus.

 

[Lycandroid]

how is this any worse than Masvidal dishing out a 3 piece and a soda ? That was only one strike that was blocked

I dont think that it was just the fact that he hit him, it was the fact that when Dana talked to him, he was unrepentant

Babalu got fired because after he held onto the choke on David heath too long, Rogan asked him about it, and he said yeah i did that on purpose cos he called me a motherfucker


In this time when Dana was tryin desperatley to keep MMA on TV, they had a pretty zero tolerance attitude towards shit like this that would make the sport look bad.


By the time Conor started vaulting dollies at buses the sport wasnt goin anywhere

OK maybe I was kidding but I am leaning towards brown belts not being able to start threads.

Bruh it’s been forever and that weak punch couldn’t have hurt anyone. Daley has always been more of a valuable asset with the UFC than gone.

I don’t know what you’re kidding about or talking about. I think you have me confused. Go start a thread and talk about it

Masvidal literally made a man bleed from a sucker punch. Twice

 

[Bubzeh]

I like this idea. It also ticks the diversity boxes for corporate.

Another one I'd like to see is Angela the Haymaker Hill get more screentime. Perhaps given a role within the Contender Series broadcast team or something like that. Maybe even host TUF.

Again It's how Daley acted when Dana went to talk to him about it after. That, and UFC trying to keep mma's public image intact at the time.

In his own words he was expecting it because of the trash he talked during the fight to him.
