Now if you predicted that Josh Kosheck would cruise to a relatively easy victory over Paul Daley, provided he utilized his reedonkulously good wrestling, well done sir. If you predicted that Daley would then try to sucker punch ‘Kos’ after the final bell, you should consider getting a psychic hotline. If you then predicted that Daley would issue an apology on Monday, meh. We all knew that.
Yes indeed Mr. Daley, who has been axed from the UFC roster for his WTF actions Saturday, has predictably issued a statement; here is a portion where he is most regretful… (thanks to MMA Weekly):
“I’ve had a long flight home to consider my actions and regret the mistake I made on Saturday. I would like to apologize to the UFC and the Athletic Commission for what I’ve done as well as all the fans and sponsors that support me.”
“I would also like to offer my sincerest apologies to Josh Koscheck who did not deserve the cheap shot I threw. He did what he needed to do in order to win the fight and get the job done, and I foolishly reacted to the situation.”
Pretty remorseful right? Well, hold on a sec, naturally…there are a few lil jabs at Koscheck in the statement well, where Daley refers to the ‘phantom knee’ incident (is Kosheck’s hair just that sensitive or are the camera angles liars?) as well as the “verbal abuse” he received from the outspoken welterweight. Interesting yet predictable stuff. To check out the entire apology head here.
