The UFC is making a big mistake by not resigning Paul Daley

[sirmorbach]

Yeah, I know he sucker punched Josh Koscheck, and Dana White said he would never fight in the UFC. But, well, (i) Dana's said a lot of things in the past, and (ii) it was Josh Koscheck, ffs.

Daley is exciting, he's a great striker, he always brings it, and he sure knows how to make pre-fight interesting. Besides, with Bisping saying farewell, WME could very well use another British star. We've just seen how they struggled to find a main event for the London card.

Can you even imagine Daley as a comeback fight for Nick Diaz in the UFC?

Semtex, baby!

Spoiler

I was joking, I don't think Daley was right on sucker punching Koscheck.

Spoiler

He did have it coming though, Josh Koshcheck is a moron.

Spoiler

But yeah, I know, I know. It was a joke.

tl;dr: Bring back Paul Daley. F*** it.

well, gonna tell you a secret, he's still with bellator

 

[USA!USA!]

I thought he hinted on ariels show that the ufc may have reached out to him? He just hasn't fully been released yet.

 

[sirmorbach]

He's still hoping for that release and so I am.

What he did was unforgivable and Dana would never associate himself with someone like that

They're not going to release a guy just so that he can go to their competitor. Not only that but they are now going to offer him shitty fights as seldomly as his contract allows so that he's washed up by the time it ends.

As opposed to the laundry list of drug dealers, racists, wife beaters, rapists, robbers and general scum fucks that Dana has knowingly given contracts to? You almost got me! hahaha!

Semtex is actually a decent and professional guy... Made a single mistake... It's gotta be time to let it go.

Daley/Platinum should be kicking off a ppv at some point.Thats what the UFC used to be.

 

[jk7707]

If they get the chance they should. He's a threat to anyone in the division striking.

Daley vs. Till. Imagine that.



A true Union Jack ass-whoopin' contest.

What say you, @Buff?

 

[The Witcher]

Daley is exciting but highly overrated and gets straight merked by UFC top 10. I would embrace his return

 

[SiEdmondson]

considering some of the things fighters have done since then.....cough jon jones cough

id be shocked if the sucker punch was the reason he wont be resigned, maybe because hes not all that great (albeit fun)

Semtex is one of my all time top 5... I've followed his career since Cage Rage and he's still destroying fools just as badly today as he was back then.

I don't see how it's possible not to be a fan.

 

[Limit Smasher]

It's been long enough and it's not like Koscheck isn't a massive piece of shit himself. Bring him back.

I'd love to see that shit... People here forget how he completely destroyed Kampmann and McLovin, who were both well respected at the time.

He lost a UFC title eliminator to LaynPray and was then kicked to the wilderness where upon he put on the greatest single round fight on MMA history vs Diaz, and knocked Diaz down twice hard... And the KO of the year vs Smith.

Despite a couple of losses via blanket in the wilderness he fought his way back to the top of the 2nd biggest org, with flying knee KOs and savage beat downs along the way... The champ in his weight class has his number at Bellator, so there's not really anywhere else for him to go there, but the UFC has a ton of exciting fights for him... Till, Perry, Ponzinibho, Lawler (maybe), Wonderboy... All of those fights would be awesome.
