The controversial Paul Daley who we all best remember for giving Josh Koscheck a high five to the face at UFC 113 has signed a multi-fight deal with STRIKEFORCE. Daley has won two straight since being exiled from the UFC with wins in Australia over Daniel Acacio and at Shark Fights against Jorge Masdival.
“I am a striker – there is no secret about that, I like to knock people out aggressively and quickly. That’s my game and no opponent’s going to change that. Almost all my fights are exciting and memorable with non-stop action,” said Daley.
“I’m looking forward to fighting for STRIKEFORCE and would really love to fight (current STRIKEFORCE welterweight champion) Nick Diaz,” Daley said. “He’s a big name and a great fighter. Diaz would bring out the best in me and would be a great test.”
Daley, who has compiled a highlight reel of impressive knockout victories, has competed against some of the best since turning professional in June 2003. Three of his most significant victories came against Masvidal, a 2:24, first-round KO (punches) over Dustin Hazelett on Jan. 2, 2010, and a 2:31, first-round TKO (punches) over Martin Kampmann on Sept. 19, 2009.
