If you didn’t watch last night’s UFC 113 card in Montreal, it probably hasn’t taken you long to figure out this AM, that Paul Daley has really sh-t the bed on his MMA career. The British slugger’s post-fight attempt to drop Josh Koscheck with a ‘whoops how’d that happen?’ punch, has according to Dana White, resulted in him getting punted from the UFC (thanks to MMA Junkie for the quote).
“I don’t care if he fights in every show all over the world and becomes the best and everybody thinks he’s the best pound-for-pound best in the world, he will never fight in the UFC ever again,” White said. “He’s done.”
Wow. Not the kind of news you want to hear when you’ve just been dominated for three rounds (and by the way, did we call Koscheck’s post fight comments or what…)
Daley wasn’t the only UFC roster casualty, as after getting stopped by Matt Mitrione, it appears as though Kimbo Slice’s current run in the promotion is done. Aside from a couple of nice slams Slice got worked over pretty bad, and although White was extremely complimentary towards the heavyweight, the UFC Boss man stated:
“That’s probably Kimbo’s last fight in the UFC,” White said.
This one we have to say we’re kind of surprised about. Yes, Slice hasn’t exactly looked like a world beater in his UFC tenure to date, but the guys sells tickets and then some. Although that was then and this is now…if you follow.
