With Fitch scheduled to rematch Alves in March, a matchup with Koscheck is most-likely on tap for Daley once Koscheck heals from an undisclosed injury that recently forced him to withdraw from a February rematch with Paulo Thiago. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://mmafrenzy.com/files/2010/01/Paul-Daley.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-12646" title="Paul Daley" src="http://mmafrenzy.com/files/2010/01/Paul-Daley-250x166.jpg" alt="Paul Daley" width="250" height="166" /></a>Rising welterweight Paul Daley&#8217;s next bout is likely to come against top 170-pound contenders Jon Fitch or Josh Koscheck, but the British slugger also has his sights set on a matchup with recent welterweight challenger Thiago Alves.</p>
<p>Daley continued his climb up the division&#8217;s ladder on Saturday with a first-round knockout of Dustin Hazelett, his fourth-straight victory overall and second-straight in the UFC following a September knockout of Martin Kampmann.</p>
<p>&#8220;The big problem in this division right now is the two best guys out there are probably Koscheck and Fitch, and trying to get them to fight each other is a nightmare. I&#8217;d really like to see that fight,&#8221; said UFC President Dana White at Saturday&#8217;s post-UFC 108 press conference. &#8220;We&#8217;ll put Daley against one of them and see what happens.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Fitch would be great or Koscheck,&#8221; said Daley. &#8220;There&#8217;s (also) an Alves fight. I&#8217;ve been fighting and knocking guys out standing up, but I really haven&#8217;t displayed my full array of standup skills. I think a fight with Alves would be entertaining for the fans.&#8221;</p>
<p>With Fitch <a href="http://mmafrenzy.com/12617/jon-fitch-vs-thiago-alves-rematch-scheduled-for-ufc-111-on-march-27-in-new-jersey/">scheduled to rematch</a> Alves in March, a matchup with Koscheck is most-likely on tap for Daley once Koscheck heals from an undisclosed injury that recently <a href="http://mmafrenzy.com/12594/mike-swick-replaces-injured-josh-koscheck-fights-paulo-thiago-at-ufc-109/">forced him to withdraw</a> from a February rematch with Paulo Thiago.</p>

<p>In their first meeting at UFC Fight Night 5 in mid-2006, Fitch earned a second-round TKO of Alves.</p>
<p>Fitch (19-3) reeled off eight-straight wins to begin his UFC career, but had his 15-fight win streak snapped with a unanimous decision loss to welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre last August. The American Kickboxing Academy fighter has bounced back in 2009 with three-straight wins over Akihiro Gono, Paulo Thiago, and most-recently Mike Pierce earlier this month.</p>
<p>Alves (16-6), <a href="http://mmafrenzy.com/12526/thiago-alves-vs-ricardo-almeida-possible-for-marchs-ufc-111-in-new-jersey/">previously targeted</a> for a UFC 111 matchup with Ricardo Almeida, won seven-straight over the likes of Chris Lytle, Josh Koscheck, and Matt Hughes following his loss to Fitch, but is coming off a unanimous decision loss to St-Pierre in July at UFC 100.</p>
<p>UFC 111 is headlined by welterweight title-holder Georges St-Pierre vs. Dan Hardy and is also expected to feature an interim heavyweight title fight between Shane Carwin and Frank Mir.</p>

<p>In the UFC 107 co-headliner, heavyweight Frank Mir rebounded from a July loss to Brock Lesnar and got back into title contention by making quick work of Cheick Kongo, knocking him down in the opening minute then putting him to sleep with a guillotine choke just 72-seconds into the matchup.</p>
<p>Welterweight contender Jon Fitch remained in the mix at 170-pounds but went the distance for his sixth-straight fight, topping Mike Pierce with 29-28 scores across the board for his third-straight victory.</p>
<p>Kenny Florian forced Clay Guida to submit to a rear naked choke in the second round at UFC 107, bouncing back from an August loss to Penn to join a handful of contenders in the muddled lightweight division, while heavyweight Stefan Struve picked up his third-straight win by topping Paul Buentello by majority decision to kick of the event&#8217;s main card.</p>
<p>On the UFC 107 preliminary card, Alan Belcher, Matt Wiman, Johny Hendricks, Rousimar Palhares, DaMarques Johnson, and T.J. Grant were all victorious.</p>

<p>Fitch (19-3), previously set to <a href="http://mmafrenzy.com/11925/ricardo-almeida-vs-jon-fitch-off-ufc-106-after-almeida-injures-knee-fitch-set-for-bigger-fight/">fight Ricardo Almeida at UFC 106</a> and <a href="http://mmafrenzy.com/12009/thiago-alves-withdraws-from-ufc-107-fight-with-jon-fitch/">rematch Thiago Alves at UFC 107</a> before injuries scratched both fights, reeled off a record eight-straight wins to begin his UFC career, Fitch had his 15-fight win streak snapped with a unanimous decision loss to welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre last August.
