    No ****? Acacio's a fun guy to watch with his vintage Chutebox style, not sure if he has the chops to hang with Daley though. Either way, should be a nice stand up battle while it lasts.
     
  4. I think Daley will be back in the UFC by 2011

    Why?

    Not only is he a complete **** for what he did, he simply isn't good enough to justify bringing back after that.

    Yeah this isnt some true title contender or anything. Remember this guy was getting smashed every few fights by good grapplers then he got brought into the UFC lucked into a semi big fight with Kampmann and then later Hazelett and took advantage of guys who **** him like morons. When he ran into a true contender he got dominated round after round. If this was Shogun suckering punching a guy then being released then yeah I can see them bringing him back after time has passed. But **** Dana didnt bring back Babalu after what he did to David Heath and IMO Babalu is a much better fighter then Daley.

    Yea don't get me wrong, Daley is fun fighter to watch, but he isn't exactly one of the crown jewels of the UFC.

    Babalu was offered a chance to return, I think (could be wrong), but was happy at Strikeforce; I think Dana and Babalu are at least on good terms.


    For the record by the way, Kos was definitely hit with a knee

    You might be able to fanboy explain that as somehow Kos just diving into his knee, but when you consider:
    A - He was hit and hurt when his head made contact with a knee
    B - A indisputable illegal left knee was thrown

    You can't blame Kos whatsoever

    WTF are you talking about !!!!! , do you know what Daley has acheived outside of MMA !!!!! , the mans stand up alone is way way better than almost everybody's barring Thiago Alves in the world (@ Welterweight) , the man has scary scary talent , he's a big loss to the UFC regardless of what he done .

    And people cant say that fuzzy haired ****** Koscheck didnt have something like that coming to him , the man is a ****in joke !!!!!! :deal

    On the feet Daley presents every single WW in the UFC and the world a whole host of problems , fact is Daley brings entertainment and was imo nearing his prime as a fighter and was filling the holes that were more prominent in his early days and was becoming a more complete fighter , id sit and watch Daley before id sit and watch Koscheck every single time , im not saying Koscheck is overly boring he's not but Daley is truly a fans dream for entertainment value alone !!!!!!

    P.S Babalu is probably more well rounded than Daley but pitted in todays 205 lb division (UFC) he'd be a lot less relevant than Daley was @70 :deal

    Daley is going to have to lick a lot of boot and look good in his other fights to get back in the UFC.

    Fact is Daley lost before his UFC stint, during his stint, and will most likely lose after. How many Daley fights have you seen exactly? What are you basing your assertion that Daley is more relevant at 170 than Babalu is as 205? Wins over Mclovin and Kampmann? He really hasn't done anything to support your claim. From watching him, Daley clearly has some great stand up but he isn't well rounded enough to stay relevant. You think he's entertaining, but he isn't so entertaining with his back no the canvas the entire fight now is he?

    Yes I do; do you know that is pretty irrelevant to what he does in MMA?

    He is not a big loss, if he was a big loss he wouldn't be released.

    If he is so great outside of mma, let him make his living there. Oh, wait, he isn't good enough to make it.

    I agree the knee did land just like the illegal strikes landed when he fought Johnson. Another thing watch them on the ground there are several times when it looked like Daley was gouging at Koscheck's eyes. Then I see how Koscheck's eye looked after the fight and I was sure it had happened.

    You need a new set of glass's. I remember watching this fight and Rogan replayed it again and again and you could see that the knee barely brushed the side of his head. Koscheck as usual went into Oscar mode.

    The replay only showed the second knee, as my post pretty clearly shows it is the first knee, the right one.

    The Replay during the live PPV didn't show it.

    This clip isn't from the one you saw.
