Paul Daley Predicts Stand-up Clash With Nick Diaz


Will Paul Daley be the first Brit to wear the Strikeforce Championship belt? Pure puncher Paul Daley takes on Strikeforce Welterweight Champion Nick Diaz in Strikeforce's first big arena event under Zuffa ownership tonight on Showtime. Daley talks to ESPN Radio 1000:
"(Nick Diaz) hasn't fought anybody I wouldn't have beaten in a more spectacular fashion in his last few fights."

"Has he got an iron chin? We're going to see. He's been dropped in numerous fights against 155ers. I always say to people 'you got to get hit by me and then you'll realize it's a whole different ballgame.' I think Nick Diaz is going to have that same experience."

"I've seen the look in people’s eyes and the reactions in their faces when I land a shot or hit them with a jab. I don't know what I got but it certainty makes people scared."

"I do think he'll stand. I don't think he's going to come in and totally bitch out and start shooting for my legs and clinching and all this shit. And I plan on giving him no option but to exchange with me."

Yeah he won’t bitch out and try to beat you where he is definitely superior to you.

Daley is one of the more unpleasant characters in MMA. The way he acts after a stoppage win makes me sick. I don’t know if i wanna see Diaz tap him out or pick him off for 25 minutes on the feet. I won’t mind too much either way as long as Diaz gets the win.

The way he acts after getting laid on for 3 rounds is even worse

Maybe work him over on the feet, absorb his best shots, wear him down and submit him in the 4th or later…

Cmon Daley

 If every ones got a punchers chance Paul Daleys got a better chance than most fighters but Diaz is gonna fustrate Daley to the point he over commits and that’s when Diaz can drag him into his guard and then …….. Gogo time

Who has Diaz 'dragged into his guard' that didn't try to take him down?

And how do plan on doing that exactly do you plan on doing that Daley? Your game plan is rather thin, don’t ya think.

by proflex on Apr 9, 2011 9:29 AM EDT reply actions  

By not getting taken down and scrambling quickly from bottom?

Not like that’s an unheard of strategy against Diaz. Might I suggest watching the Noons rematch?

Sorry to break it to you Paul but someone trying to take you down isn’t being a “bitch”, rather it’s exploiting the obvious deficiency in your skillset.

lol @ all the Daley haters. I hope he KO’s Diaz out in the 1st round.

by Joe_Leduc on Apr 9, 2011 11:06 AM EDT reply actions  

2nd This

Daley by KO. Diaz thinks he is the shit striking, which is gonna be his downfall.

Jules: Normally, both your asses would be dead as fucking fried chicken, but you happen to pull this shit while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna kill you, I wanna help you. But I can't give you this case, it don't belong to me. Besides, I've already been through too much shit this morning over this case to hand it over to your dumb ass.

Get 'em Nick.

I’m bugged by MMA fighters who whine about the “mixed” part of mixed martial arts.

by INGO B on Apr 9, 2011 2:30 PM EDT reply actions  

I'm calling it right now

Daley is growing out a smoke screen. He’s going to go out there and pull guard. My prediction is Daley wins via submission in round one.

by Gideon Jay on Apr 9, 2011 2:33 PM EDT reply actions  

Diaz will totally bitch out

By taking daley down and elbowing him in the face, now that its finally legal in SF. Daley will never submit Diaz.
