“I was a huge fan of Paul [Daley], his power, his attitude, I always felt was pretty cool. Until he took that dirty swing at Koscheck and you know it was just the wrong thing to do.

I think that would be his best way of getting back into the UFC. I think everyone deserves second chances. We’ve all done things in the heat of the moment that we regret, even Dana himself. He definitely has the talent to be in the UFC.”
