Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 1, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 1, 2011 in two minds at the moment, i aint expecting a star-studded card but as it's the only UK card of the year i think i'll be making the trip. Â If anyone hear has never been though, i highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

METAL ON METAL Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Paul Daley too? He's not a UFC fighter. Â True but I read he was at Strike Force's last event and given now theyre own by Zuffa and hes Notts based... Â I'll just copy and paste instead of writing it out myself: Â At UFC 113, on May 8, 2010, Daley was placed to fight Josh Koscheck, with the winner destined to become the next challenger against Georges St-Pierre for the UFC Welterweight Championship and the opportunity to coach against St-Pierre on the twelfth season of The Ultimate Fighter. After the end of the third and final round, Koscheck turned his back to Daley to begin walking back to his corner when Daley threw a punch that Koscheck did not manage to block. In an interview at the conclusion of the event, Dana White announced that Daley would never fight in the UFC ever again. White was quoted as saying, "He'll never come back, I don't care if he's the best 170-pounder in the world. He's never coming back here. There's no excuse for that. You never hit a guy like that after the bell." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 1, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 1, 2011 i think Dana's warming to the idea of letting Daley fight in the UFC again, it aint gonna happen in October though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Up Chuck Posted May 2, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 2, 2011 Not too long after my birthday, this, so I'm hoping to make it. Would be amazing for me if it was in Notts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
