Recently exiled UFC welterweight contender Paul “Semtex” Daley has just found another American organization to call home. Undisclosed sources confirmed today with BJPenn.com that Paul Daley has signed with Bellator Fighting Championships.

The British fighter garnered a tidal wave of negative publicity after the post fight punch he threw at opponent Josh Koscheck, moments after the bout had ended at UFC 113. A very public war of words had been exchanged between the fighters as the matchup drew near with both Daley and Koscheck promising to end the fight in stunning fashion. When the fight began Koscheck used his wrestling skills to take Daley to the ground where the fight remained for the duration of the bout. As the final seconds ticked off of the clock Koscheck took a moment to exchange one last verbal jab and when the bell sounded Daley lost his temper. In the post fight press conference UFC President Dana White publically released Daley vowing that the British slugger would never fight in the UFC again.

With Paul Daley signing to Bellator he will make an immediate impact in the organization. The current champion Lyman Good is set to face former NCAA Division 1 champion Ben Askren after Askren won the season 2 tournament by defeating Dan Hornbuckle. Daley is the latest signing in Bellator’s push to gain high profile fighters. Before this season’s tournaments began the organization signed another former UFC fighter in Roger Huerta.

At this time, no details are available in regards to the contract. It could be a multi or single fight deal.

Daley vs Hornbuckle would be a kickass fight.

Daleys been exposed. All he can do is stand and bang. He's gonna get killed against another wrestler. Plus he showed his character. All he is is a thug.

He let his temper get to him. You cant go by this calling him a thug. Koscheck is just as bad though, faking stuff and nonstop trash talk.

I dont personally like Daley at all, but he would probally win tourny if he does. But anything can happen in tournaments, ask Huerta.

I thought it was pretty weird seeing breaking news from another fighter's website. Why would that be on bjpenn.com in the first place?

I would like to see what he does after Ben Askren takes him down and lays on him for 3 rounds.

Sorry you feel that way. But when you talk mad trash prior to a fight, get owned during the fight, and find the need to sucker punch the guy. Your a thug. Period. Sportsmanship, honor, discipline went out the door therefore your not a fighter IMO. A real fighter would accept the loss, eat his words, and improve his game. A thug will lose control and try to exact revenge with a cheap shot.

He is a good striker, but thats it. Has limited takedown defense and sub defense.
Your right, he would prob lay on him whole time.
Most boring mma fighter in world= Jon Madsen (random i know)

i have to agree with this. it seems daley doesnt care about the honor in fighting and only does it as a legal means to hit someone in the face.
