Semtex set for BAMMA 7

Marquardt or bust.

Nate vs Paul would be a pretty awesome fight. Nate would probably just rape him on the ground but if he decided to stand with Paul we'd be in for a spectacular stand up battle. Nate's standup was some of the best at MW in the UFC and this isn't always acknowledged. I think he would have knocked Rich Franklin out.

I give Nate the advantage in both departments.

Thats a pretty big statement. I think Ace would KO him but who knows.

British welterweight lightning rod Paul Daley (27-11-2) has been booked to make his return to the United Kingdom when he takes on Bulgarian bruiser Jordan Radev (23-4) at BAMMA 7 on September 10 from he National Indoor Arena in Birmingham.

"Semtex" heads back to the UK with his tail between his legs, having suffered back-to-back defeats under the Strikeforce banner to Nick Diaz and Tyron Woodley. His last win came in his BAMMA debut via crushing knockout over Yuya Shirai earlier this year.

"I want my title shot again, plain and simple," Daley said in today's release. "If I have to plow through Radev to get a crack at the belt, then unlucky for him. I can’t wait to be fighting for my UK fans again and I promise that by the end of the year I’ll be crowned as the BAMMA welterweight champion."

The Nottingham knuckler will have to make takedown defense his top priority against the former Olympic wrestler.



Radev was last seen squeaking past Maro Perak via split decision under the M-1 banner back in May 2010. The win pushed the former UFC middleweight to 12-1 over his last 13 fights but may have a disadvantage after not competing for over a year.

Nevertheless, the full time trainer sounds undeterred:

"It’s a real honor to fight for BAMMA. I’m really impressed by their growth and I’m very happy to be making my debut against a World class fighter. I want BAMMA to see me as a title contender so if I have to beat the fan favorite for that recognition, so be it."

Paul Daley vs. Jordan Radev, or as the purists refer to it: "A classic match-up of striker vs. grappler." Anyone think Daley gets it done?

Jordan Radev.

Apparently, Facebook is where all the cool kids hang these days.

UFC kick-started the use of the popular social networking website to broadcast its preliminary cards for free and now other promotion's are jumping on board. Except the UK based organization BAMMA is taking it one step further by airing an entire fight card.

Stop me if you've heard this one before... Paul Daley missed weight for his BAMMA 7 fight. He's 176 and has 2 hours to cut 5 pounds. Yikes.

I guess the sauna in the place broke down so that is a big factor.

I watched the Pulver movie Driven and lil Evil cuts 6 lbs in 2 hours for his fight. But I'm willing to bet Daley isn't able to do the same.

Daley needs to hire a nutritionist already.

Naw, it should be a rule for MMA. Miss weight 3 times and you die.

Or miss weight three times and Shan Tsung is allowed to take your soul.

5 in 2 hours is possible, but I doubt he has the balls to do it.

Like I said, a smaller Pulver cut 6 in 2 hours for the fight on his movie Driven. It's possible for sure. But then again I'm not sure what Daley's starting weight was and if he has already hit a wall.

Dude doesn't give a shit about making weight if its not a big fight. That's been proven. Not that he had a chance to get back in the UFC anyway, but these pretty much close the coffin

Did Daley make weight for the Diaz fight ?

Well it's not like those organizations can really do much about it. They can't pull him from the card.

He's made weight for all 3 SF fights. Missed weight like the last 3 BAMMA fights he's had

Shortly after the weigh-ins concluded, though, Daley took to Facebook and declared his fight was off altogether and he was "done." However, Radev agreed to fight "Semtex" at 176-pounds and the bout is now back on after some negotiating by all parties, including BAMMA.

What a fucking joke Daley is! I for one will never pay to watch him fight, he is a punk that simple.

I want to know who it was that talked Daley off his "I'm done" comment. Fuck that guy.
