Paul Daley Says Nick Diaz Wouldn't Stand And Trade Punches With Him

Explosive striker Paul Daley still has a BAMMA title fight on Feb. 26th against Yuya Shirai that he has to get through before he can even be thinking about a Strikeforce Welterweight Title Fight with Champion Nick Diaz but that hasn't stopped the hot-headed Brit from starting the smack talk battle early between himself and Diaz:<br><Br>

"I don't mean to be arrogant and I don't mean to continue piping on about it, but I'm a whole different animal when it comes to the stand-up game and I've continued to get better. I highly doubt there's anyone in the welterweight division in MMA at the moment that's on the scene, that's getting press, that hits as hard as me. I don't believe there's a middleweight fighter that can get hit by me and not be in serious trouble. Nick Diaz isn't going to go toe to toe with me. More like my fist and his head landing at my toe, none of this toe to toe business. Diaz, everybody knows if you come stand toe to toe with me, that would be the most stupidest game plan he could ever have. I don't care who you've fought, you've never fought me, you've never been hit by me."<br><br>
