Paul Daley has other business on his fighting agenda before he can lock up a Strikeforce welterweight title shot against current champion Nick Diaz, but that doesn’t mean the hard-hitting Brit isn’t already looking forward to the possibility of facing Diaz.
Daley needs to win a Feb. 26 match in the UK with Yuya Shirai, and if he does, a date with Diaz awaits him.
While Diaz recently said he’s “not impressed with Paul Daley as a mixed martial artist” aside from his standup, Daley indicated on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour that he’d have more than enough firepower to wrest the belt from him.
“I hit unlike any other welterweight in MMA,” he said. “I will knock Diaz out. I will knock him out.”
