Paul Daley Misses Weight Once Again!
Posted by Joshua Wood (Editor in Chief)Feb 25
I guess we all should have seen this coming, but Paul Daley (26-9-2) missed weight today at the BAMMA 5 weigh-ins. Today marked the fifth time the welterweight had missed weight, having also weighed in over the limits at MFC 19, MFC 20, UFC 108 and Shark Fights 13.
The fight was supposed to be a welterweight title fight, but with Daley missing weight it will be changed to a three-round non-title fight and Daley will forfeited an undisclosed percentage of his purse to his opponent Yuya Shirai (20-8).
Daley initially weighed in two pounds over the 170 pound limit before coming back two hours later for his second attempt that put him 400 grams (.881849 lbs.) over the limit.
Daley had been tabbed as the next in line for a shot at the Strikeforce welterweight title against Nick Diaz should he can get past Shirai. No word from Scott Coker or Strikeforce on if that offer still stands now that Daley once again has missed weight.
BAMMA 5 takes place tomorrow at MEN Arena in Manchester, England, and will stream live on the promotion’s website, BAMMAtv.com.
On a side note, Ricco Rodriguez who was taking on James McSweeney in the night co-main event has also missed weight.
Really…. How do these companies keep putting up with daley??? Sure i can see missing weight once or maybe even twice before you realize that maybe you should move up a class but to miss weight 5 times is just a slap in the face to everyone else who should/could be fighting for a title. Daley needs to get his crap together, after getting the boot from ufc with that cheap shot to koscheck(which i dont really blame him for) and all the failed weight cuts maybe he should make the move to middleweight
@fightman
Yeah man missing weight 5 times is lame. Promotions might need to start putting a “make weight” clause in Daley’s contract
