Not really sure if it’s a good thing to have Vince involved with UFC though. He’s so controlling. He may want to get to involved instead of letting Dana run it himself. Dietrich may be on to something here, because Dana has made it known that he has a big anouncement on Thursday, and so has the WWE. I guess we will see soon enough. I just hope i’m not getting my hopes up for nothing and then the annoucement turns out to be lame.

At the press conference also expect Dana to announce that with the help of McMahon, who has extensive connections in the New York State Athletic Commission, they were able to get the UFC sanctioned in New York, and plan on having a show sometime in the winter at Madison Square Garden. That is all I have right now.

Jai,

Thank you that was a very good description. Hopefully he makes his way to the UFC…..it seems his personal problems may make his fighting career inconistant and that will have to change.

I just read on Fightline.com that the UFC has signed the #1 P4P Boxer in the world, Floyd Money Mayweather AKA Pretty Boy to a figting contract. Not only am I a big fan of MMA, I am also a big fan of Boxing and I read on Maxboxing.com last Friday, Mayweather just recently officially retired from boxing on last Friday. If the reports of Mayweather signing with UFC are true, It makes since now, why Dana White says he has some news that would rock the MMA World! THIS IS HUGE!!!

KOuch,
You last post was pretty funny about guys being making an impact and then riding off into the sunset a week later….and I totally understand what you’re saying. I guess that’s what makes MMA so unpredictable in that a guy could be on a hot streak, but then gets beat unexpectingly. I guess that’s the nature of the beast, huh.

To answer your question, Paul Daley is a kickboxer, but it’s more of a European or Dutch style. Style wise, I guess he kinda reminds me of a smaller versions of Bisping or Kampmann from the UFC, but with more explosion because he shorter and more compact (in my opinion). Also in my humble opinion, he would match up pretty well with Thiago Alves. Being that Alves walks around well over 190 so to be honest, Alves would probably be bigger, and probably more physical, but Daley really excels in the stand up game so I think it would be a pretty good match up. Other than the obvious advantages Thiago has that I previously mentioned, it would be a tough one for me to call.

It will be interesting to see how he perfoms in his next fight being that he is coming off a pretty good lay off as well as some personal problems. He may have a little ring rust and maybe a little gun shy at first, but I expect him to win this one.

Just curious since you are more familiar with Daley…..which fighter’s style would you compare him to? If he were to fight at the next UFC event who do you think would be a good match for him? I’m curious because I am not very familiar with Daley. He sounds very good but I read/hear about guys all the time who will make an impact in MMA and the ride off into the sunset a week later.
