Quote of the Day: Paul Daley
"I know Cage Warriors and Cage Rage are rival promotions but I have no loyalty to Cage Rage as there's no contract there. Before Pro Elite got hold of the reigns at Cage Rage, they [Cage Rage] didn't really wanna know who I was. I was always an upset for them, me winning both belts, me beating their poster boys, and you know, it's just one of those things. Now I'm getting a bit of recognition and moving away from them, they're realising their fans don't give a fuck about their fighters and it was really me who was putting bums on seats. They've lost one of their star fighters."
-- Paul "Semtex" Daley is none too stoked on his primary promotion. The former(?) Cage Rage Welterweight Champion will face undefeated Slovenian fighter Bojan Kosednar at tonight's Cage Warriors: "Enter The Rough House 7" event in Nottingham, England.
Daley also mentions that he was offered a fight on EliteXC's July 26th show against Rory Markham - a fight he says was meant to lure him off the Cage Warriors card, and one which Daley turned down since, well, Rory Markham is signed with the UFC. When Daley said he would have no problem fighting twice in a month, ProElite changed their tune.
"If I had been Nick Diaz, it wouldn't have been a problem. The guy smokes weed, starts riots on TV, doesn't make weight, fights whoever the fuck he wants, and there's no problem there. It's a bit of a piss-take really."

Send Semtex to Xtreme Couture and then get him signed by the UFC. He has star potential written all over him.

![Paul Daley - "Dan Hardy Will Butcher Mike Swick":
"I won’t be fighting at UFC 105, but I will be there meeting the fans and sitting down with some popcorn to see Dan (Hardy) butcher (Mike) Swick. [He's] been bashing me for some reason, I don’t know why, ripping on my record and things like that. All I did was accept a fight he’d pulled out of but he seems to have a problem with me."
"He said I am big headed, but I have gone out of my way to be humble in the UFC. After the fight I didn’t jump around or nothing or shoot my mouth. I think Swick is jealous because he pulled out of the Kampmann fight and would never have done that if it were him in there and not me. I’ve got eight losses — so what? I’ve fought literally twice as many people as he has and I have fought better opposition than he has. His best win was against Marcus Davis and Dan beat Marcus much worse than he did with lay and pray. Dan is going to get rid of Swick in Manchester next month. You won’t hear too much about him after UFC 105."
