[SHOGUN]

A dangerous fight for Daley, but he should come out on top.

I heard this is going to be streamed this weekend.

[EmpireWF]

If Daley wins and is unscathed, he may challenge Diaz on 4/9.

[Liquidrob]

I believe on the BAMMA website you can order the stream for like 10 bucks, maybe 5 even

If Daley loses, Woodley apparently isn't interested in taking the fight with Diaz on short notice.

400 grams.

That's the margin – 0.881849 pounds for you non-metric people – by which Paul Daley missed weight for his welterweight title fight against Yuya Shirai at BAMMA 5, according to manager Wad Alameddine.

The fight will now be changed to a three-round non-title fight, according to Alameddine, and Daley has forfeited an undisclosed percentage of his purse to Shirai.

[SHOGUN]

While the circumstances surrounding his missing weight is understandable, Daley's frequency to miss weight has to be a concern for Coker if they want to make him a challenger for Diaz.

@ Daley. its always something with that dude

[Steel Mamba]

Doesnt seem like he trains as hard when hes not on a big card.

[EmpireWF]

Daley wrestled this statement...

I apologize to Shirai and the fans for missing weight. Although the fight is 3 rounds now I only need 1 round to knock him out. The fans come to see me win the title but I promise them, title or not, I'll win this fight and win it in style. Then I'm going after Diaz and I want to send him out the message that I mean business with my performance tomorrow night.

The hotel cut off the use of the sauna, a couple fighters missed weight, bamma should take some blame

Or a fighter can take responsibility for his own sake.

Since 2010, he has failed to make weight 3 times (he's 2-0 in those fights, plus whatever happens later today). So, of all his fights since last year, he has failed to make weight half the time.

[Liquidrob]

If You are trying to cut, and get stopped in the middle of it, that's tough, it comes down to the wire a lot

He was over by like 4 ounces, he would have made it under normal circumstances, a couple guys missed weight
