Semtex has found a new home.
Paul Daley, who was let go by the UFC following a post fight punch on opponent Josh Koscheck, will get a second shot with a major promotion as he has signed a new 6-fight deal with Strikeforce that will see the welterweight debut in 2010.
The news was confirmed to MMAWeekly.com by sources close to the situation on Sunday, and first reported by MiddleEasy.com.
Daley's camp was unavailable for comment, but sources have indicated that the British bomber will still participate in the upcoming Shark Fights card in September that he was previously announced for, although an opponent has not been named yet.
A veteran of several organizations including Elite XC, Daley made his UFC debut in September 2009 with a devastating win over Martin Kampmann. He followed that up with another knockout of submission wizard Dustin Hazelett before being set up in a No. 1 contender's match with Josh Koscheck in May.
Daley found himself on the ground over and over again at the hands of the former NCAA champion wrestler, and when the fight was over he took a cheap shot at his opponent, and UFC president Dana White quickly cut him from the roster and vowed he'd never return.
The Team Rough House fighter got his first post-UFC action in Australia in July getting a win over Daniel Acacio, and now is poised to return to the United States in September for Shark Fights.
There has been no word on when Daley would make his Strikeforce debut, but the they are currently putting together a proposed card for October that may see the Brit in his promotional debut for the organization.
MMAWeekly.com will have more information on Paul Daley's Strikeforce debut in the coming weeks.
