Paul Daley Leaves No Doubt, He Wants to Fight in the UFC, but Would Dana White Have Him Back?

BAD MMA News — Tue, 30 Jul 2013 02:58:14 +0000

Paul Daley was recently cut loose by Bellator MMA due to ongoing legal issues, and is free to fight for whomever wants him. Having fought for the UFC in the past and currently on a four-fight winning streak, would he ever be welcomed back to fight in the Octagon? It doesn’t appear so. When told that Daley has mentioned that he would like to come back to the UFC, company president Dana White seemed somewhat surprised and not too thrilled with the idea. “He wants to come back now? I thought he hated this place,” White said in his UFC on Fox 8 post-fight scrum with reporters. “I don’t think so.” Whether White thinks it’s a good idea or not, Daley made it clear that he would welcome the opportunity

Ronda Rousey is Pulling for Anderson Silva to Beat Chris Weidman at UFC 162

BAD MMA News — Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:30:01 +0000

Many fighters have weighed in on the UFC 162 main event middleweight title bout between champion Anderson Silva and challenger Chris Weidman . UFC women’s bantamweight titleholder Ronda Rousey believes Weidman is the worst stylistic match-up for Silva, but will be pulling for Silva to retain his belt on July 6. “I think that Anderson Silva is pound-for-pound the best fighter of all time, and I really do believe that Chris Weidman is the worst style match-up for him. But if anyone can overcome the worst style match-up, it’s Anderson Silva,” said Rousey during a recent Facebook chat sponsored by Metro PCS. Silva is undefeated inside the octagon with 16 consecutive wins. He has put together the longest title reign in the promotion’s history and defended his belt a record 10 times. He holds the record for most finishes in the UFC with 14 and the most finishes in title fights with nine. But at 38-years-old, his career is winding down. “Being that Anderson is, I think, towards the end of his career, I’m going to have to just pull for Anderson just because it’s like the end of it. I kind of want him to go out hot,” said Rousey. “Chris Weidman has an amazing future ahead of him. He’s going to be around long after Anderson Silva leaves. And I think that once Anderson vacates the division that Chris Weidman, it’s very likely that he’ll hold onto the belt for a while. But you never know.” Rousey likes both fighters, but wants Silva’s legendary status to remain intact for at least one more fight. “I think they’re both very, very cool,” she said.
