Paul Daley vs. Scott Smith - SF St. Louis

Banished from the UFC, controversial British fighter Paul Daley is now set for his Strikeforce debut. Multiple sources close to the fight told MMAWeekly.com that Daley and Scott Smith have verbally agreed to fight on Dec. 4 in St. Louis.

The fight will take place in the welterweight division, even though Smith is making the move down from middleweight and Daley has been known in the past to have trouble getting under the 171-pound threshold allowed for 170-pound fights.

Daley (25-9-2) was exiled from the Ultimate Fighting Championship following a post-fight altercation with Josh Koscheck. Daley sucker punched him after their fight at UFC 113 and was immediately terminated by UFC president Dana White.

He has since gone on to fight in Australia against Daniel Acacio and for Shark Fights against Jorge Masvidal, winning both. He then signed a six-fight contract with Strikeforce.

Starting his career off with an impressive 10-1 mark, Smith has since followed a bumpy path weaving through the WEC, the UFC, EliteXC, and now Strikeforce. His overall professional record stands at a modest 17-7, but Smith has still been a consistent draw because of his exciting, no-holding-back fighting style that, one way or another, typically results in a knockout.

A light heavyweight earlier in his career, Smith has spent most of his time recently at middleweight, although he did fight current Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz in a 180-pound catchweight bout last year.

One MMAWeekly.com source near Smith’s camp said that he had been walking around at 185 pounds as recently as two weeks ago and shouldn’t have a problem making the cut to 170 pounds.

The Dec. 4 Strikeforce card features a light heavyweight rematch a decade in the making. Former two-division Pride champion and UFC tournament winner Dan Henderson faces former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion Renato “Babalu” Sobral. The two met in the finals of a Japanese tournament in early 2000, Henderson winning a decision. The rematch will take place at the Scottrade center in St. Louis.

Daley KO

Smith via KO

It will probably end up being a catchweight at 175 or 180.

This is cool but i would have preferred Daley vs. Cyborg.

Hands of Steel by dramatic come from behind KO.

Naturally that would be the initial reaction from a fight fan, but Daley has looked like ass in his last two fights sufficiently enough to make me entertain the idea that Smith will be able to hit him in the face.

don't worry kings, there will still be time for Daley vs Cyborg.

smiht KO with about 12 seconds left.

this. except with smith instead of smiht lol

Funny, I remember saying Smith would beat Hardy....I guess this fight is close enough.

Damn, there goes my plan to steal Cristine away from Evangelista.

Yes no Le vs Smith 3! Cung vs Cyborg or Melvin?

Cung will probably be the one fighting that Finney character who seems to be a lock for the card. I doubt Cung wants any part of Cyborg or Manhoef..though i don't think he'd do bad against those guys, i just don't see Cung taking those type of fights.

cung would do fine vs Cyborg(though he too is now at 170), Manhoef on the other hand is a scary(though beatable) character.

I like the idea of Cung vs Lawler as well.

Cung vs Mel. I am Jack's want to happen.
