Paul Daley Doesn't Understand Dana White's Unrelenting Stance On UFC Ban

Quote :: British welterweight slugger Paul Daley was unceremoniously given the boot by UFC president Dana White following an ugly post-fight incident at UFC 113 in May of last year in which Semtex attempted to slug Josh Koscheck after the last bell of a three-round fight. White has stated unequivocally on several occasions that there is simply
no room for the rowdy Brit on the UFC roster anymore and that he will
never be allowed back within the UFC's eight walls. Daley spoke with
Washington-based radio station 106.7 The Fan ahead of his weekend
Strikeforce fight with Tyron Woodley and admitted vexation at White's
unrelenting stance on Daley's place in the UFC.
"I was at the fighters summit. Dana mentioned people he has problems with and named Josh Barnett.
Basically he named everybody but me," said Daley. "I don't understand
his big problem with me. It's definitely something personal because
there's been opportunities for things to happen and they're not
happening. I'm an exciting fighter. English people want to see me. I
have a big fan base in the UK and a few fans in America."
Daley explained that a number of fans have broached the subject with him
and wonder why he isn't allowed back in the promotion now, over a year
after the incident went down that got him fired. The 28-year-old said
that he sees White's vendetta against him as a personal one and isn't
sure why he's been treated so harshly.
"A lot of people do want to see me back in the UFC," he said. "I'm happy
with Strikeforce and I'm happy with the fights that I've got for now. I
think that in the future after getting past Cyborg, I don't see much in
the way of big marquee fights I can have outside of the UFC. I've said
in numerous interviews that I want to be back in the UFC, so I'm not
holding a grudge no more. I'm saying I want the UFC. This is from peer
pressure from my fans saying, 'You deserve to be back in there. There's
people who don't deserve to be back in there that get a lot of the lime
light that have messed up.'
"I have reached out. He's looked past a lot, every other fighter he's
had a personal beef with he's overlooked but for some reason he just
don't like me. I don't know what it is. I'd like for him to explain it
to me. I can't remember apart from the whole Koscheck incident, which I
think with any other fighter would be overlooked and they'd be on a
banner or something. I dunno, I think it's personal."

Yeah but it was only koscheck.It wasn't any one of importance or even exciting to watch. Laughing

Regret is a MF'er.

Best move Daley ever moved tbh - who would give a dog's dick about the guy had all that shit not happened. Shrewd move, terrible haircut.

Go find Kos.... offer him a beer and an apology. Train with him for a bit, promise you'll never do anything as grossly cheap as this again and then move forward. Or.... blame Dana for making it personal.... sigh
