UPDATE - Paul Daley may not have a finalized deal in place.

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2009/7/30/969848/contrary-to-earlier-reports-mma

Contrary to earlier reports, MMA.Fanhouse reports that UK star Paul "Semtex" Daley has NOT yet signed a deal with the UFC and is still in negotiations with "several" promotions.



wolfnote - Why are we dealing with a giant and steady stream of fake or rumored contracts and news that turn out not to be true or prematurely reported in recent times? Is it just me or have the once reliable MMA rumor sources more and more full of fucking shit?

have him fight hardy in a british super fight.. lol


to be sirious tho its a good add

He will do well against that circle of FOTN gettin' ass guys like Lights Out, Kelly, Taylor and Davis if the fights stay standing, but his ground game is hardly world class.

Daley's standup is some of the best, if not the best at WW. Too bad his ground game is horrible.

His standup game is heavy and powerful but hardly the best.

his standup is pretty sick.. but yeat shields showed he had no ground game

And when I say zero ground game, I mean ZERO ground game. Too bad he could be pretty damn good

So one more guy for GSP to fucking ruin? They need to get him some real contenders...someone that can actually beat him. Can anybody at that weight?

Is this the guy Shields 1 arm guillotined?

Ya losing to Shields instantly though is no knock on someone's resume. Has he won a fight in the last two years that wasn't an instant sub?

There is getting subbed and getting ONE ARM GUILLOTINED

Anyway I think it was Nick Thompson and not Pauly

It was Thompson, and Daley will be a nice addition, some exciting fights, but his lack of a well rounded game will be this downfall.

Ummm ok next.
