9. He Is An Entertaining Fighter
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87EYp0E97r8 Over the past couple of years, I have personally met a lot of people falling out of love with the sport due to a growing number of wrestlers, especially among the welterweight division. They have said time and again that wrestling in this fashion is incredibly boring to watch and I can see their point, even if I personally disagree. But one thing you could never say about Paul Daley is that he is boring to watch. He entered into the UFC in an incredibly tough match up against Martin Kampmann; a fight I expected him to lose. He came out and absolutely dominated Kampmann from pillar to post and then knocked him out on his feet. On top of that, Daley has also been transitioning to K-1 over the past year, improving his striking even further and taking on very skilled fighters in the kickboxing scene. He has had four kickboxing fights during 2014 and won every single one of them by (T)KO. In fact, the last time Daley won a match by decision was all the way back in 2011 against Luigi Fioravanti. He has since gone 5-2 in that time, with all of his wins finishing by the second round. Some of those were stunning KOs. His flying knee against Patrick Vallee was such a thing of beauty. His knockout of Scott Smith is to date one of the most perfect KOs I have seen of all time.
