Paul Daley and Maiquel Falcao are no longer under contract with Bellator. Today, the promotion suddenly announced a decision to release the welterweight and middleweight fighters, who’ve both landed in trouble with the law after reported assaults. Bellator rep Anthony Mazzuca told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that the promotion will not retain matching rights and the fighters are free to compete for any other promotion. “We examine each situation on a case-by-case basis, and in these two instances, the violent nature of both situations has led to our decision to release both fighters from the organization,” he said. Mazzuca cited Falcao’s involvement in a brawl in his native Brazil and Daley’s conviction on a charge of assaulting and obstructing a police officer, which contradicts public statements given by the fighter about the incident this past December in the United Kingdom. Daley manager Wad Alameddine said he received word earlier today that Daley had been cut, but was unable to reach his client. “I’m definitely disappointed,” he said. In June, Daley told Bleacher Report that the case had been thrown out for “lack of evidence and contradicting witness accounts.” Alameddine, however, confirmed that the welterweight had, in fact, been convicted of assault and fined for the charge
