The planned Josh Koscheck-Paul Daley rematch is once again off, as Douglas Lima now meets Daley at Bellator 158.

ESPN first reported the change Monday evening.

Daley and Koscheck have been on separate paths since their 2010 meeting in the UFC that ended with Koscheck winning and Daley released after “Semtex” landed a punch after the bell.

Bellator 158 takes place July 16 from The O2 in London.

Josh Koscheck And Paul Daley Get In Heated Exchange

paul-daley-vs-josh-koscheck-630x400

Josh Koscheck signed with Bellator last summer and has yet to fight with the promotion. That is all changing after it was announced that Koscheck would face Paul Daley in a rematch from their first bout in 2010. The event will take place at Bellator 158 in London this summer.

The former UFC fighter is currently on a five-fight losing streak which includes fighters like Robbie Lawler, Tyron Woodley, and Johny Hendricks in those string of losses. On the other hand, Paul Daley is on a five-fight win streak and is 15-4 since being cut from the UFC for his sucker punch over Koscheck.

Both fighters have not shied away from their animosity towards each other. Watch the heated exchange below in a press conference that was released a couple days ago.
