8 UFC Careers That Ended In The Worst Way Possible
3. Paul Daley Keeps Fighting After The Bell
Paul Daley is one of the greatest fighting talents ever to emerge from the British Isles. A propensity for violence coupled with one of the most devastating striking arsenals in MMA history has made the Nottingham-based striker one of the most feared talents in the sport for years now, but his three-fight UFC run failed to see him fulfil his full potential.
Daley lived up to the hype in his first two Octagon appearances, claiming a pair of first-round knockouts against Martin Kampmann and Dustin Hazelett leading to a clash with welterweight contender Josh Koscheck at UFC 113 in a fight billed as a title eliminator.
Ultimately, Koscheck would utilise his superior wrestling to neutralise the Brit's power en route to a unanimous decision victory. However, after the final bell, an infuriated Daley took a cheap shot at his opponent while he walked away, a shameful display that led to Daley's immediate release from the UFC.
