Nick Diaz says he’s not impressed with Paul Daley as a martial artist, predicts he’d choke him out

Strikeforce welterweight champion, Nick Diaz has revealed that he’s not impressed by UK heavy hitter, Paul “Semtex” Daley as an overall martial artist and predicts if the two ever meet inside the cage he’ll end up winning via submission on the ground.
Speaking after Saturday’s win, Diaz said:

“I see me putting punches on him, and maybe him taking me down, too, and getting caught in a choke. He could run from me, and I could run him down, take him down, and beat him on the ground. I don’t know. I could see that fight going a lot of different ways.”

“I’m not really impressed with Paul Daley as a mixed martial artist. I’m sure he knows what’s going to happen if he steps in there to fight me. All [anyone] can really do is try to down-talk me and minimize what I’ve done in the past and what I might do to them.”

Daley could be next up for Diaz if he can get past DEEP welterweight champion, Yuya Shirai on the BAMMA 5 card late next month in Manchester, England, a fight many are predicting will go his way via early knockout. Stay tuned to MMABay for more on this and more as we get it.
