Comments
I dont know, Tarec might give him his first loss. Saffiedine is no joke.
I hope Woodley likes the taste of left hooks, cus he'd be eating plenty of 'em if he ever fought Daley....
He might eat one before he double legged Daley, put him on his back and pounded him for the rest of the round. It's pretty well documented that Daley's takedown defense sucks and that he can't get off his back against a good wrestler. Woodley is a great wrestler. You do the math.
Daley couldn't stop Masvidal from taking him down, so what does he want with Woodley? He must love getting ground and pounded.
I can see this fight being like Kos/Daley II but prolly without the cheap shot
Stick Daley in against Diaz, and then everyone will remember that Daley is a one dimensional fighter with no ground game to speak of. Until he gets a ground game, he will only be good for the highlight reel K.O. every so often.
Daley has really impressive punching, but thats about it. In an mma match Tyron would change his diapers
he can if he really wants to learn ground game and better TD defense. Look at how far GSP improved his ground game because he wanted to. I'm not sayng Daley could become a GSP, but he could learn enough to compete on the ground at the very least.
true, but he's not a fan of the ground game. He calls himself SEMTEX and allways talks about knocking people out so I doubt he would put in the time needed to actually improve a lot on the ground.
