Former welterweight champion Andrey Koreshkov continued to impress in his third straight win at Bellator 274 on Saturday night.
The Russian uncorked a nasty spinning back kick to the body of his opponent Chance Rencountre, who fell to the floor in crippling pain before the fight was waved off just 38 seconds into the first round.
Andrey Koreshkov Calls Out Paul Daley
Post-fight, Koreshkov expressed his desire to fight Paul Daley at Bellator London in May. Speaking to the press after the event Koreshkov explained why he wants ‘Semtex’ next.
“Paul Daley is higher than me in the rankings,” Koreshkov said. “Right now, he is the last one who doesn’t have an opponent. I think it’s a good idea because his style, my style are very impressive, very spectacular.”
The English KO artist has since expressed his willingness to accept Koreshkov’s call out.
“I’m calling for it to be signed. ASAP,” Daley told Michael Morgan. “I’ve messaged all the right people and it looks like it will happen. At 170lbs. Not 175lbs.”
