Former UFC welterweight striker Paul Daley has been slapped with a 30-day suspension for his unprofessional conduct following a UFC 113 loss to Josh Koscheck in what was billed as a 170-pound number one contender's bout back on May 8.
Sherdog.com brings word from Collette Lepianay, information agent for the Governing Body of Alcohol, Races and Games of Quebec (RACJ), which oversees combat sports in the province.
"Semtex" exploded after he was outwrestled for three rounds on the televised portion of the "Machida vs. Shogun II" fight card. Koscheck neutralized the deadly hands of the British banger, effectively earning himself a spot as coach on the upcoming twelfth season of The Ultimate Fighter(TUF) opposite division champion Georges St. Pierre.
Following his expulsion from the world's largest fight promotion, Daley competed "Down Under," defeating Daniel Acacio via submission at Impact FC 2: "The Uprising" on July 18 in Sydney.
He's now slated to appear opposite Bellator standout Jorge Masvidal at Shark Fights 13 on Sept. 11 in Amarillo, Texas. Daley's suspension is not expected to conflict with that appearance.
Any MMA fans out there think that getting kicked out of the UFC was punishment enough? Or was today's suspension too lenient? Let's hear your take on "Kos-gate."

i think what he did deserves a way longer suspension than 30 days, thats pathetic… most fighters take at least 30 days off inbetween fights anyways..
they sould have made an example out of him and suspended him for at least a year..

one other thing
if he’s fighting twice since word of the suspension, what exactly would a year long suspension that no one will enforce prove?
im not sure i understand your question kev.
maybe, that even with a suspension in the usa, he could stilll go overseas to fight?
if so, i hear that… it’s not like the states is the only place to fight… but i would still ban him from the states for at least a year!

the sucker punch didnt even occur in the states so they cant really suspend him. Hes basically suspended for fighting Quebec for 30 days which really dosnt effect him at all. So there no punishment for him which is kinda sad.

No punishment? He was sacked from the UFC and told he will NEVER work for them again. I don’t see people shouting that Diaz, Shields or Miller and the rest should have year long suspenisons for the Strikeforce brawl in which someone was held on the floor whilst others beat on him, much worse in my opinion, although I’m not defending Daleys actions, it was stupid and did nothing to help the sport.
if the strikeforce brawl hadn't taken place
I’d be willing to bet Daley would still be in the UFC. Coker came off looking bad cause he didn’t really do anything about the post fight brawl and he even went as far as to say it was all Miller’s fault that he got jumped. Dana had to take the hard stance with Daley and make an example out of him. I think it was unprofessional, it was childish, but I don’t think he deserves a life long suspension from ever fighting in the UFC again.

Thats an interesting point...
I hadn’t actually thought about that but after reading your comment yesterday and having a bit time to think it does make sense as it was a perfect set of situations for Dana to show how much more professional the UFC is over Strikeforce (who couldn’t really afford to suspend or sack all of the stars involved as it would have destroyed their roster). Hopefully Daley can clean up his act and prove to Dana in a couple of years he deserves another chance, although if he doesnt improve his wrestling he’ll never beat the likes of Fitch of Koscheck.
Just saw your post before I posted something similar just below.
"It's not what you know, it's what you can prove."
But the fight was in Canada, right? Without a universal commission, why would he be suspended in the US?

Too Short
Suspend him for 6-12mths. Cant having an elite org allowing them to act like 5yr olds.

use "reply" in the post, not at the bottom of the page.

hahaha
as soon as I saw this headline I foresaw the riot it would cause on the comment boards.
This is way too big of a punishment.
If Daley gets 30 days then Koscheck should get at least 90 days.
Not disagreeing, but for what?

I was just fucking around
I was a little drunk when I posted that last night and I guess I was trying to troll a bit.
LOL
I know that you know what you’re talking about, so I was wondering if I missed something. I didn’t expect a troll post from you. It’s all good, homie. :)

What's the point of this suspension?
Is it only in affect if he fights in Canada?
BJ Penn is the #1 P4P fighter in the world without question!
Honestly, what is the point of naming any suspension at all?
Why not call it a 120 day suspension? Makes it look more severe, the commision more stern, and still serves the same purpose since it is pretty much time served. Hello, it happened May 8th.

lol
its nice to see you can punch someone in the face after the fight is done and get a slap on the wrist

this isnt a punishment
Dana already gave him his overreacted punishment. Why arent there fines in mma those would hurt a fighter more than a national or regional suspension.
But because its daley im glad that this is al, what if fedor did something like that in the us and brock agrees to fight him in russia would you all still be complaining ?
