Paul Daley is at it again. The BAMMA 7 weigh-ins went down today in Birmingham, England, and Daley tipped the scales at a hefty 176 pounds. He has two hours to get down to the contracted welterweight limit of 171. Daley is scheduled to meet Jordan Radev on tomorrow's card.
Update via MMA Weekly: "Despite being given two hours to drop the weight, Daley reportedly refused. But while Radev’s camp was initially hesitant, Radev eventually decided that he would accept a catchweight fight with Daley at 176 pounds, despite the Brit’s history of missing weight."

JESUS MAN
Daley needs a nutritionist, or a cutting coach or something. Because god damn.. this is a problem for him. He’s muscular and has broad shoulders, but it’s not like he’s huge for welterweight anyways. He would be a downright puny middleweight.

Daley isn’t big. He just lazy.

I don't think it's lazy so much as stubborn/ narrow minded.

Having seen Daley in real life, trust me, he is one stocky motherf’’cker.

Winner gets Alves?
It’s a shame, these guys were born in the wrong era… if only they were around for RotR’s 175 lb tournament.

I enjoy bashing Daley as much as the next guy, but you should probably tell the whole story.
BAMMA had a designated weight cutting area set up and the sauna died about an hour before the weigh-ins. TEN other guys missed weight too.

Did anyone else miss by 5 pounds?
Creator of the FightMatrix rating system [http://www.fightmatrix.com].
I think it does a little. As a fighter do you really expect to lose 5lbs day of weigh in?
Better yet, if you were Paul Daley, who has a history of being over weight, dont you think to maybe not risk having to cut 5lbs day of weigh ins.

Dude, it's only safe to lose water weight the day of.
You might stop drinking water the day before the weigh ins, but that’s it man.

10 guys missed their initial weigh in.
Unlike Daley, they chose to be responsible professionals, continued cutting, and made weight two hours later
Well…..when you say " Does it matter? Half the damn card missed weight. "…….you act like Daley should be let off the hook……and now, you admit that 10 guys are professional fighters and apparently Daley is not in your opinion.
Make up your farking mind. Or better yet, go along with the rest of us and admit Daley is a clown and don’t make excuses for the dude.

You guys need to be even more?
The situation changed, at least what has been reported of it. It’s normal his opinion changed too. I don’t see what is so scandalous about it.
"Don't worry about a thang...I got this"
Well…..he said he enjoys bashing on Daley as much as the next guy. But apparently not. The next guy in line….me……really loves bashing this clown. Steve4192 has to channel his inner DaleyBash if he wants to throw around loose statements like that. I need to hear him get in a good one on Portly Paul before I will let this rest.
by Snake_Pliskan on Sep 9, 2011 4:18 PM EDT up reply actions
personally I still wouldn't blame Paul..
If the saunas didn’t work then that’s Bamma’s responsibility
if you are seriously dehydrated, why should you keep cutting because of a fuck-up out of your control
As I understand it, last time they got booted out of the hotel sauna because other patrons complained about the fighters hogging it. This time, BAMMA set up a special ‘fighters only’ sauna and it conked out. I’m looking forward to seeing what wacky shenanigans happen next time.
Haha, that's ridiculous.
Oh Bamma!

Interesting. I heard 4 missed, no one by more than 2 pounds, and the other 3 have all made it.

So Daley was planning to cut 5 pounds in an hour
That doesn’t seem very realistic to me. But maybe I’m just misinformed on weight cutting.

Paul Daley says....
‘A lot of haters out there don’t know the full story or what’s going on, advice to u..take ur shoes off…..get into your bed….and go fuck urselfs!’
From his facebook account. Hes saying that again BAMMAs saunas are broken again. I just want to see the guy fight.
The excuse would be passable if he didn’t have a LONG history of missing weight. Even if true, nobody cares about excuses at this point.

Yea ’im a fan and I cant defend him on this. Sure things happen but if your that guy thats always missing weight you should be backing yourself up to make sure you get it right,
by Mustardfinger on Sep 9, 2011 2:40 PM EDT up reply actions
Pretty much my point.
If you are the guy with the history of missing, then you need to be coming in as close to weight as possible. You need to be forgetting about the Bamma gym getting fixed and head down to the local health club if it comes to that. You need to do whatever it takes to be that one guy on the entire card who did make weight just so your detractors can’t detract.
He is to good of a fighter to have all of the drama around him.

You shouldn't ask daley to make weight! What was Bamma thinking!

But whatever, too much polemic and not enough fighting lately, I just want some fights, my body is ready.

Everyone else made weight. The sauna thing was not a big deal. Daley just chose to be a goof again.

OK
THAT is some bullshit.
I hope Radev’s people at least negotiated that Jordan gets a significant chunk of Daley’s purse.
I like this.
10% per pound over and 10% per time missed before.

Would you like Freys with that?
Not only would Daley not make any money
he would have to pay out of his pocket just to fight.
Who cares, it's BAMMA

Daley would have been cut by the UFC regardless of the Koscheck incident
Just on this alone.
I respect your opinion even though it's wrong.
I think he doesnt care cause its BAMMA
cause he seems to make weight in the more high profile matches he has including UFC and Strikeforce and I think he would have tried for the BAMMA title if the sauna didnt break, i remember him saying that they had to go looking around the Manchester to use another sauna. But i think making weight for smaller promotions he see’s it as something that he would try to do but if he has to cut a lot in a small amount of time (completely his own doing) hes defiantly not going to put the extra effort in cause the promotion is still gonna give him another fight because of his reputation for putting on exciting fights
This is Daley being Daley.
I don’t see the problem? Diaz gets off the hook by a lot of fans, and some MMA bloggers, for being unprofessional, why can’t Daley? I don’t see someone calling Daley “a delightful troublemaker”, ruffling his hair in a playful manner and telling him to go play.

Daley is kind of whatever to me now
Before he fought Nick I was thinking, hey, he could fashion a pretty nice career for himself considering…So I was interested in his first BAMMA fight…
But at this point I feel like he just isn’t relevant. I’m way more interested in seeing if Frank Trigg can get it done and that’s saying something.
All these, uh, dealmakers making deals. Ya know, I don't, all I know is I'm ready to fight so, ya know, I'm sorry I didn't make it to the beauty pageant.
perfect example of...
the extreme fickleness of casual fight fans
who goes from being interested in a fighter’s career to thinking he ‘just isn’t relevant’ in the space of one fight??
sort yourself out
1 fight? More like
1 occurance of missing weight in his first BAMMA fight
2 losses in a row
A second occurance of missing weight in his second BAMMA fight
Winning a fight where you couldn’t make weight taints the victory, in my opinion…and losing fights certainly does you no favors.
The last time he won and was on weight was against Smith, I believe.
