Paul “Semtex” Daley: “I’m quite content doing what I’m doing, but for the fans I wouldn’t mind going back to the UFC”

Strikeforce welterweight number one contender, Paul “Semtex” Daley has given the clearest indication yet that he’d be interested in a move back to the UFC, that is if UFC President Dana White would have him, but he wouldn’t be doing it for him… but more so his fans.
Speaking via ESPN.co.uk, Daley said:

“Dana White approached me straight after the fight in the cage and expected an apology there and then, and I wasn’t interested. It’s not the right environment for you to approach someone straight after the fight when emotions were running high.”

“I’m sure everything would have been different had Dana White approached me after I had calmed down, I’m sure he would have got an apology then. Definitely I’d be willing to discuss terms because a lot of my fans want me back in the UFC. Although they rate what I’m doing in Strikeforce, they don’t see it as being on a par with what I’m doing in the UFC.”

“They’re always comparing me to the current UFC rostrum and saying ‘you’d beat him’ or ‘you’re better than him, why is he in the UFC when you’re not?’ For my fans I’d like to be there. I’m quite content doing what I’m doing, but for the fans I wouldn’t mind going back to the UFC.”

Daley enters perhaps the biggest fight of his career this weekend when he takes on Strikeforce welterweight champion, Nick Diaz in the main event in San Diego, California. Will he be able to get the job done and have a major bargaining chip in his favour for future negotiations?
