Quoteworthy:
"It's not very honorable to stand over a guy after you just knocked him out and shoot him in the head with a pretend gun. That's just not cool. Then to wind his coach up a little bit by laughing, it's not a cool thing to do but you know when you're full of adrenaline you do stupid things."
Heavy-handed welterweight striker Paul Daley clears the air regarding the post-fight antics that may have irked the "McLovin'" camp following his UFC 108 knockout win over Dustin Hazelett. "Semtex" quickly apologized for the shenanigans and admits to being overcome with adrenaline after putting the grappling whiz to sleep. Can we expect another dominating performance from Daley in 2010? Or will his ground game get exposed sooner rather than later?

Anybody know of Daley has to give McLovin a share of his Knockout of the Night bonus?
I am pretty sure he has to give him a portion of his purse cause he came in overweight, but anyone know if he has to split the KOOTN bonus?
not really fair
sure anthony johnston wasn’t allowed to recieve a ko bonus because he was over weight how come semtex is allowed to get his??

I was thinking the same thing. Kinda messed up
At least Daley isn’t white, otherwise we’d be hearing that Dana is a racist.
That is a great point. Although Rumble was waaaay overweight (177) you have to draw the line somewhere and I think even if its a pound over they shouldnt be eligible. Add in the fact I read daley has missed weight in 3 of his last 6 fights, we dont want a situation where he gets a fight with GSP in the future and then fails to make weight.
I told you
a bad mo fo! he once said in the uk in the cage face to face with his opponent “if you ko me everyone hear can f**k my mum”
WANDY RIP
...
what Daley did was 10 times worse then anything Bisping done and i love it. Gsp will lose the Brits are world class. I want to see Joe Lauzon v Etim
WANDY RIP
He'd kill em both
But I think the Daley match up would be more interesting. Daley has the most brutal hands in WW. I’d like to see him fight Kos, Rumble or Alves
GSP will lose? You mean to Dan Hardy? That’s laughable. Actually, that’s way more than laughable. I just hope that GSP doesn’t punt Hardy’s head into the crowd after what will probably be the shortest title fight in GSP’s run, Hardy doesn’t even belong in the same arena.
The only words that come to mind when I think of Hardy Vs GSP is “Prison Raping”
Got to say I've been under estimating Daley
ever since he I picked him against Shields. But I don’t think His ground game is good enough to deal with Fitch, Kos, and some of the other wrestlers at WW. I’d love to see him fight Thiago Alves.
Honestly
Hazelett was a moron with his gameplan. Standing directly in front of Daley with zero head movement and in perfect striking distance….not a good idea. That being said said GSP would smash Daley with much better movement and striking and then take him down and pound his ass out…
na i dont think so..
daley would hammer gsp in the stand up he would b a fool to stand their and trade with semtex
hate to disagree
Thiago Alves is as dangerous as Semtex if not more, and how did GSP do in the standup against him? I don’t think GSP would try and trade with Semtex the whole fight, rather use his striking to take him down at will and pound him out.
His only fault was..
when he took a step in and tried to trade with daley, he def. needed to try a crazy guard pull instead.
Daley needs to get a ground game
He says it has improved but that is yet to be seen.

Many fighters say that they’ve improved in certain areas . . . we will never really be able to see it until some one gets him to the ground. But like Daley said, “I keep knocking MF’ers out.”

I want to see Daley knock out Kos
and Kos is stupid enough to think he can bang with Daley, but if Kos decides to fight smart and take him down, it will be over for Daley.
@fjbar75 on twitter...formerly El Mexicutioner
Couldn't of put it better myself.
Would love to see Kos getting in a stand up fight with Daley and it resulting in Kos getting KTFO!!
I"m no Ned Flanders punk!!
most definitely!
i really want to see him try to stand though… they’ll be no dispute as to whether he’s out or not like the paulo thiago fight
Paul trains with bj’s wrestling coach , so I am curious to see his takedown defense.

Daley has a serious sprawl but his defensive wrestling is still weak
Also IMO BJ’s trainers are very average…His talent shines way more than their work except for Marv and his bro. It’s his new training partners that are the key. Regardless, it think for Daley the solid and proper striking footwork is too ingrained for DiSabato to teach him anything else besides sprawling out harder which i believe is mostly athleticism anyways.

At least he didn't break the guy's arm and tell him he's number 1 ...
I actually had no idea what he was being sorry for … but good show of class
Wtf was hazelett doing?
He stood completely still, didnt move an inch, zero head and feet movement…
anyone could see that KO coming

Yeah..
That was a lot like Maia/Marquardt. Hazelett had no business standing with him.

totally agree
daley does have some good hands but hazelett is crap. just stood there.
no chance against gsp thought. he is way too small and wont be able to land that big punch and will be grounded and pounded out in rd 1. quite like his buddy hardy
I'm very confident this fight can go either way.
He was showing what will happen
when Mo Lawal fights a good opponent or what Mousasi would to do him.

rampage/rashad set for montreal
for now anyways! might have to go to that one!!
Theres nothing funner than lettin them hands go
-rashad before refusing to let his hands go at ufc 108
I saw that too
Shad/Page and Machida/Shogun on the same card? I wasn’t going to go this year unless GSP was fighting again. Maybe I will have to go now.
Frank Mir packed 30+ pounds of solid muscle onto his body in five months. Why hasn't anyone called him out for steroid use? Is it because he never wrestled for Vince McMahon? I give Mir credit for his taste in strippers/wives, not his fighting skills or his personality.
i know man
thats 2 super fights right there. watching rampage KO rashad should be awesome! gonna have to go..most likely meet gsp somewhere lol

My wife is going to be pissed.
But I can’t miss seeing those two fights live.

Decent nights of fights. I too stuck with Dana and bought the PPV. Please Dana, make these non title main events five rounds. It’s such an easy solution to overcome all the injuries. I was saying the same thing when I was at 106 with Ortiz and Griffin.

and Sam Stout is AWESOME
even with seconds left, and clearly winning, he was throwing flying knees and spinning back fists trying to finish and put on a show, not giving 2 flying f’s about gettin kod. what a fight. and feel bad for joe lauzon i think that kid is way better than he showed last night.

i felt guilty..
though he is a fellow canadian i picked lauzon in my pick em pool…but i was cheering for stout and damn he showed up to that fight all right..looked fresh for all 3 rounds..lucky he did not get sub’d in the first and out did joe..wicked.
Don’t feel bad sarah-, I’m a fellow Canadian and picked Lauzon as well. I thought his ground game would have been too much for Stout, but it’s clear Stout has been working hard. I was cheering for Stout, but I didn’t think he could pull it off and definetly not that convincingly. I do feel bad for Lauzon though, he’s a good guy and had a really long layoff, as well as watching his brother get tapped to one of the craziest submissions pulled off in competition the same night.

Stout isn't a slouch on the ground
And gets up quickly from most take downs.

I know he’s not a slouch, I just thought JLau would have been able to control him better there…boy was I wrong. I do think the layoff had a little to do with the way Lauzon gassed, not to take anything away from Stout, he looked really good.

The lay off was almost equal
Stout hadn’t fought in a long time either. Stout is too hard to sub. You guys give Joe a little too much credit. Stout is an absolute beast on the feet. Good combos and an iron chin will win a lot of fights.
