Will Paul Daley be the first Brit to wear the Strikeforce Championship belt? Pure puncher Paul Daley takes on Strikeforce Welterweight Champion Nick Diaz in Strikeforce’s first big arena event under Zuffa ownership tonight on Showtime. Daley talks to ESPN Radio 1000:
“(Nick Diaz) hasn’t fought anybody I wouldn’t have beaten in a more spectacular fashion in his last few fights.”
“Has he got an iron chin? We’re going to see. He’s been dropped in numerous fights against 155ers. I always say to people ‘you got to get hit by me and then you’ll realize it’s a whole different ballgame.’ I think Nick Diaz is going to have that same experience.”
“I’ve seen the look in people’s eyes and the reactions in their faces when I land a shot or hit them with a jab. I don’t know what I got but it certainty makes people scared.”
“I do think he’ll stand. I don’t think he’s going to come in and totally b—- out and start shooting for my legs and clinching and all this s—. And I plan on giving him no option but to exchange with me.”
