(Semtex is doin’ work to get back in contention.)
Paul Daley will have a busy next two months with back to back fights under two different banners in two different continents.
The 27-11-2 British knockout artist who is 0-2 in his last two fights against Tyron Woodley and Nick Diaz is slated to take on Bulgarian welterweight and fellow UFC vet Jordan Radev (23-4) at BAMMA 7 September 10 at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, England.
If all goes well and he walks away from the bout unscathed, six weeks later “Semtex” will hop a plane to Quebec, Canada where he will square off with another fellow UFC vet, Luigi Fioravanti (22-10) at Ringside 12 on October 21 at the Bell Centre in Montreal.
Daley is likely hoping to get his sagging career back on track with two quick wins, but overtraining, fatigue and jet-lag are a few factors that may prove more difficult than anticipated. Prior to his loss to Diaz in April, Daley was undefeated in his previous four outings includiong wins over Jorge Masvidal and Scott Smith. His last win came via first-round knockout in his BAMMA debut against Yuya Shirai in February. His bout with Fioravanti will be Daley’s first in Montreal since losing to Josh Koscheck at UFC 113 last May. He was fired by Zuffa immediately following the event after lobbing a suckerpunch at Koscheck out of frustration at his unwillingness to engage during the fight and comments the cocky AKA fighter made to him during the bout.

commentsBTW, he's also a hell of a nice guy....more than you can say for the dickhead he's going to SMASH in September.

Makes sense to me, send his ass to kickboxing.
.
Daley was never the caliber fighter to put in front of either Koscheck or Diaz. As we agree, he only chance was only ever landing the big bomb.
.
WalksInTheDarkness got it best, he realized that Daley was part of the UFC's campaign with the: "lets suck the British cocks for a while" and see how it tastes when the ratings are tallied.
.
As for the for the Kampon fight, we know now why Playtex is much more popular with the chicks based on their 30 day cycles.

Any woman could have picked who would end up being more absorbent.
No, not one-dimensional like Tyron Woodley, who has won half his fights by submission (not to mention Woodley has been training MMA for about 3 years, while Daley has been pro for nearly a decade). Daley has exactly one skill: striking. He can't wrestle, which is why every decent grappler puts him on his back and keeps him there. Did you ever see Chuck Liddell get wrestlefucked for a whole fight? Didn't think so. Also, while you may put a lot of stock in a homerun omoplata attempt, Daley has never finished a fight by an actual submission hold, and he's been submitted 5 times, so we can safely discount jiu-jitsu. If the dude wants to bitch and moan about how no one will stand with him, he should try K1 and see how that works out for him. In the mean time, he's destined to spend the rest of his career as a headliner for regional promotions. We're all really impressed by your big-time gambling skills; I wonder if you bothered to make a wager on the Koscheck fight?
My favourite part of watching Kampmann versus Daley was knowing that the Dane was going to get knocked out by the Brit and making a large sum of money off of it. Watching the look on Kampmann's face as soon as he felt Daley's power was hysterical. Hardly anyone can stand and bang with Daley. He has a truely superior level of striking.
He almost locked an omoplata on to Woodley in the final round of his fight. The thing he needs to work on most is his cardio. The guy is massive for a welter weight and they weight cut has got to seriously take a lot out of his gas tank.
.
Who ever gave Tampax a top 10 ranking?
.
He has no real game unless, he can deliver the strike.
.
And that includes before, or after the bell.
