If Paul Daley knew the consequences of his post fight sucker punch I think he would have re-considered his actions..
Daley had a bright future in the UFC to say the least. With two dominate knockout wins in a row, and fighting at UFC 113 for a chance at a title shot with Georges St. Pierre, after he lost his fight on Saturday to Josh Koscheck, Daley shattered his dreams along with his UFC career with one punch.
The cheap shot punch Daley threw after Koscheck’s victory was the last punch he will ever throw inside the UFC, Dana White announced that Daley was cut from the UFC promotion for his horrible display of sportsmanship.
“He’s done. I don’t give a [expletive] if he’s the best 170-pounder in the world, he’ll never come back here again,” White said.
“He’ll never come back. I’m probably the most lenient guy in sports and this is proboably one of the most lenient organziations. You know we’re all human, we all make mistakes, things happen. There’s no excuse for that. These guys are professional athletes. You don’t ever hit a guy blatantly after the bell like that whether you’re frustrated or not.”
This incident comes just weeks after a brawl broke out after Jason Miller interrupted a post fight interview with Jake Shields at Strikeforce. UFC fighter Nathan Diaz was involved in the melee, but no disciplinary action resulted from the incident.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. (41-0) keeps his undefeated record with a 12 round unanimous decision win over opponent “Sugar” Shane Mosley (46-6) in their welterweight bout tonight which took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas.
Two judges scored it 119-109 and the third 118-110 in favor of Mayweather.
The time for Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Shane Mosley to stop talking and start punching is drawing near tonight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Following an eight-bout undercard that lasted more than five hours, Mosley, a world champion at three weights, is the first of the main-event fighters into the crowded ring, leading an entourage of about a half-dozen people on the slow, short walk from the dressing room into the sold-out arena at 8:25 p.m.
