Apr 9th, live on Showtime from San Diego, California:
Nick Diaz – “Daley has great stand-up but he likes to talk a lot of (expletive) and I’m not really impressed with him as a mixed martial artist. We’ll see how it goes and see how he does on April 9. Let’s see if he can walk the walk. I seriously doubt it.”
Paul Daley – “I am a striker – there is no secret about that. I like to knock people out quickly and aggressively. No one in MMA hits like me. I’m faster and more explosive than Diaz. Diaz doesn’t have good wrestling. There is no way he’Il stand with me. I’ll smash him within three rounds. I will knock him out.’’
