Dana White cuts Paul Daley and Kimbo Slice from the UFC
Posted on May 9, 2010, 01:03 AM by Anton GurevichFollowing the performances during (and after) their fights at UFC 113, promotion's president Dana White declared that Kimbo Slice and Paul Daley will never fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship again. Talking about Paul Daley's outbrust following the loss to Josh Koscheck, White talked about his disappointment:
"He'll never come back. I don't care if he's the best 170-pounder in the world. He's never coming back here. There's no excuse for that. You never hit a guy like that after the bell."
As for the money-making Kimbo Slice, UFC President stated that he is "done". Kimbo was dominated by the fellow TUF 10 participant Matt Mitrione, failing to deliver any damage to the "Meathead":
"That's probably Kimbo's last fight in the UFC," Dana White said at the post-fight press conference. "He's doneWe're probably going to cut him."
Paul Daley may sign for Strikeforce, who are desperately looking for the top Welterweight contender to challenge Nick Diaz for the title. The fight against Diaz could be one of the best striking shows of the recent years in MMA, not speaking about the pre-fight trash talk between the two. Twenty-seven year old Paul Daley is currently 23-9-2 in his MMA career, fighting out of Nottingham, England.

Dana might as well cut James Toney now than later, but then he'd be called a racist
Kimbo was his QUICK cash cow, & KOS is his token bla......Daily sucka punched da WRONG broth...... OOPS, i mean the wrong fighter!!!!!!!!! Watch your back SILVA
Silva, watch your back PLEEEAASAAEEE BROTHA
Paul Daley is a dum ass, and Kimbo was poor, but he shouldnt have been cut, he is 1-1 in ufc just like Brock was once, but hey thats Dana logic 4 ya
look Kimbo ist a great guy but there was a lot of rumors of Kimbo missing alot of his training and with a lot of guys coming in they let him go.... Kimbo is still a huge cash cow and strike force will take him
Dana said: Kimbo sucks.
Dana has said this many times in the past and might still think so, Dana might like Kimbo as a person but not as a fighter. I don't think Dana thinks Kimbo deserves to be in a pro league yet like the UFC.
Dana White new middle name is "letskeeptheUFC all"
Oh PLEASE are u seriously trying to say that it is racially motivated? That is just a less than intelligent, less than informed, please use some common sense thing to say!! You must not have even seen the PPV. Obviously did not see it. What that guy did is just plain ignorant and damages the sport. Stop going on about "silva, brotha, blah blah" What Silva did isnt the same. Silva wont get cut. Two entirely separate issues. Pathetic
LOL ive noticed when things go bad ppl use the card and most the
time who use it are racist...lol nothing to do w/ he has over a year
and still hasnt improved much.......and to act like a dipchit like Silva did
his last fight They say he didnt fight the last rounds cuase he was tired and was being safe... which is sad to get wore out because you taunted to much...Silva is a stud he doesnt have to be a dumb ass...
and to use a race card ....makes you out to be a douche....cause green
is the only color ppl see .....that card is just an excuse and makes you look weak........
do u have common knowledge? cuz ur sentences prove otherwise
Like I said, Silva better watch his back, 4get what S.U.C BITCH ASS THINKS...
Ooookkkk Killer......My "bitch ass" Ur extra lame man. Sorry to tell you there is no racist activity going on with those cuts and NOPE ur still wrong dork, Silva isnt getting cut. Hahaha, where do these kids come from?
i wish there was an idiot filter on these forums
yeah bimbo u cant be smokin those blunts before fighting,he looked hella high eyez blazed...im glad dana is doing something about daleys bitch made shit,not he needs to learn his lesson on how to lose a fight. ****in dumb ass
Kimbo was not high dude :0
He acctually looked really depresed, he knew he was getting cut. All that hard work and dedication to be in the UFC was wasted because Dana cut him after 1 lose. I feel really sorry for him, i hope he gets back on his feet again
im just sayin he looked blazed the whole time
Dana said ton of great things about him and hopfully
in acouple of years he will make it back to the UFC
Hope it was worth it Paul. You got your petty little shot in, because you're an animal who can't control himself, and now while you're off begging Strikeforce for a contract, Koscheck is off preparing for a title-shot. Dumb-ass...
Kudos to Kimbo for being a stand-up guy.
kimbo is a good guy but no top fighter!! hope he can make money outside the UFC!!!
daley is a loser, and to cut him is the right answer for his acting!!!
Kimbo will be fine. Strikeforce will be thrilled to sign him in a second, and they'll have plenty of mediocre fighters to throw at him, give him a chance to learn. He's an old man who really just stepped in to the sport.
His name alone can make him rich if he has a good publicist. Plenty of brand-names out there who want to pay Kimbo to wear their gear.
What, Mitrione isn't mediocre enough? The guy's a ****in has-been football player. Oh wait, he's in the ufc so he must be good, right? ufc nuthugger.
KIMBO FEDOR 2011!
What are u even talking about? Stop instigating weirdo. He speaks the truth whether u like it or not. I would bet the house on SF offering a contract.
Too complex for you? Why doesn't that surprise me?
Stop posting under multiple nicks and getting all your short bus friends to sharp every retarded comment you make turd. And learn some english before you try to use words with more than 2 syllables. "Instigating"? Do you even know what that means?
Hahah you just proved ur ignorance further!!!! Nothing u said made any sense!! Wtf are u talking about posting under multiple names??? What name idiot?? You dont understand what instigating means? Lol, you were clearly trying to start an argument. You had no counter point, so u just started yapping like a little girl......Stfu
The bigger man walks away...
Dana should have matched kimbo up with Meathead at the tuf finale and this would never have happened. I mean in all honesty he looked horrible in the houstan alexandr fight. He just over powered him a couple of times. I knew that kimbos ufc career would be short lived as soon as i saw him on tuf.
Common dude, it does not matter about a match up once you are in the UFC! If you are the best, you will beat the best! Kimbo does not deserve to be in the UFC. He has a long way to go. Maybe Bellator can take him and he can pay his dues there. But he cannot compete with the heavyweight division or the LHW in the UFC. No way in hell. Listen to that ridiculous interview above this post by Slice? So you mean to tell me he needs to take his camp more seriously? WTF, everything is an excuse from Slice. He is not ready to compete at this level. Period. Good call to cut him.
**** YOU, YOUR AN ASS
Yeah, you're typing insults in all caps and sharping your own post and he's the ass....
Sice was, is and always will be an overhyped crap mma'er who would never have been in mma if it wasn't for his youtube popularity with the wwe-types who think he's 'bad'. Pfft, all bling, no bang.
@ SDFC
Wow, what a high IQ you have! You are the best! WOW!!! =)
Shuddup
Wow according to you, EVERYONE sharps their own posts.....Somehow multiple times too. Says the guy who gets all weak votes for every sentence he types. I mean really who cares, but since you keep bringing up the subject and all.
you can only shapr ur own post once, hes got 6 sharps, you should go back to ur neopets website and stop bothering pple here
Wow - what an over reaction to Daley, I'm sure even Daley concedes he shouldn't of hit him but to cut him off there roster completely? Crazy!
UFC is a funny old beast, you throw a cheap shot after the bell you get kicked out, you throw a cheap shot when your opponent is already out cold before the bell (which has a greater potential to leave serious injury to recipient) and they'll argue that "it was in the heat of the moment" check out Rashad Evans v Sean Salmon or Henderson on Bisping both fights ended with equally cheap shots but no serious consequences.
the diffrence is one is illegal and the other isnt
your a god damn retard thats what he was saying, but he was saying it to prove that its stupid that one is illegal and the other isnt
What's stupid are the people who pretend to be MMA fans yet need to have it explained to them exactly how damaging to the sport these attacks are. The biggest struggle for MMA has been to overcome the brutality aspect to get sanctioning. Maybe the UFC doesn't get invited to NYC now?
Can you really not understand how one is a piddly nothing infraction that should at most get him a point deducted for faking. While the other, is a serious slap in the face to MMA and the UFC. Can you see how one is minor, while the other is something that they can't tolerate? Is it that tough for you?...
Yeah, I'm sure 'the people' are more shocked by a late blow to Kos's hand than by the bloodied heads, broken arms and noses that happen by the rules in all good fights. Duh.
Can you see how what you're saying is absolute crap? How the sport itself is actually an issue for some and not whether it's by mma rules or not? Or is your head too far up your butt to smell your own crap?
Good thing you posted again bro bro. U know, just in case anyone didn't already understand just how misguided you are. Nice to see who does and doesnt care about the sport.
Yes, people are more shocked by violent assaults that take place outside the fight. I'll try to explain, I know it's hard for you. One, is the sport, people are prepared and are aware and are required to defend themselves. The other is some animal attacking someone when they're not looking. One is sportsmanship, competition, the other is a violent turd giving MMA a bad name.
There is a real difference there. Try hard, you'll see it...
Ston3pony, people like you give me a renewed faith in LowKick memebers haha. Thanks for saving me some time. Well put.
me and otown above are talking about hitting someone after the bell and sucker punching after the bell, not faking and sucker punching. jesus is it that tough for you to understand? is it? you and post mortem are both retards. stop and READ the comment you are replying to before you type your opinion
I disagree with ston3pony on almost everything... but he is spot on here.
Damn, we're minority buddy. Bet I have more "weak" votes than anyone. Usually the weak vote is not accompanied by an actual comment though. I think they tend to be kiddies pouting, nothing really to answer with, just pouting.
there is no hypcrosy here for a fighter to hit another fighter while the fight is progress is legitimate, for a fighter to hit another fighter after the fight is over and blatanly do it with no regards for the rules or any kind sportsmanship is inexcusible. mma still has alot of critics that are waiting to jump on any excuse to slander the sport as barbaric i think examples have to be made out of people that are helping theses sterotypes. you calling me "a god damn retard" only reveals to the world what a person of limited intellect and character you are
Everybody knows now Kimbo's weakness which are leg kicks. Kimbo has weak knees and easily gets tired. Everybody will take advantage of that. People know how to beat him. He's an open book
Premature on Kimbo but Daley absolutely deserves the door. And there's no comparison the his actions, an assault, and Dan's second strike against Bisping which was 1) before the fought ended and 2) was without any input from the ref (to stop).
....and Evans vs Salmon? watch the fights again and both were blatantly cheap shots far worse then Daley's but in my humble opinion because the term cheap shot can now replaced with "assault" they feel like they need to be seen taking action. I personally just feel the decision was made too quickly.
You have a point but regardless of perhaps others "getting away with" something similar, Daley should go based on his actions, period.
....you say french fries, I say chips - it's all a matter of opinion and bless this site for allowing us to air them :o)
Daley should definitly go.... as far as the Shawn Salmon fight and the Henderson vrs. Bisping fights. As a fighter you are expressly told to pursue untill told to stop, anything less counts against you in terms of aggression and octogon control. So punches after a guy is down but, before a bell or a ref steps in, well that's just part of the game.
Thumbs up to Koscheck for staying cool after Daley's cheap shot.
Good point.
Kimbo's knees have been shot for along time...you could see that from th TUF episodes. He is noway near the fighter he should be and at his age there is not going to be enough time to get there. Time to say Addios m***** f***er. Daley is Trash.... that's just all ther is to that. What a moron....
Maybe he will sign in Japan and just juice his brains out. Most people don't know that roids don't just make you big and strong, one of their main advantages is in recovery. Healing. If he took a bunch of HGH or something in Japan, his knees might be fine.
Ha....maybe! I guess anythings possible. I like Kimbo.....and I would like to see him fight again for sure. This might be the way!
kimbo still has plenty of money to make i think it might of been a little premature but it would of happend eventually the guy just doesnt have the skills to compete at this high of level
lmfao! I called both of these fights beautifully....kimbo should go back to street brawlin. I aleady said he's too old and inexperienced to fight in the ufc..... dana white just wasted our time, even tho I knew he was not worth it since day 1. as for daley, that's good for that british piece of sh*t. he talked all that crap and then when he got outsmarted he wanted to lose his cool. THAT'S WHY U DON'T TALK THAT MUCH SH*T CUZ U BOUND TO GET F*K'D UP
I start liking Dana and the UFC my second favorite figter is champ tere im happy person
Daley showed his true level of respect for the sport and got what he had coming. No matter what people say Dana White proves time and again that he actually cares about the sport and not just the money. Which really shows his intelligence, because protecting the sport is actually protecting his money. Daley got owned and had no answer. Sure he faired well but still had no answer.
As far as Kimbo is concerned, I have said from square one that he would never be a real contender. To little to late. I wish he and Dana had worked something out sooner, but he is now outside what would have been his prime. I still think the cut was premature because it was Dana's choice to give him a contract, so with that said how are u gonna cut a guy thats 1-1?
Dana cuts 2 black guys, James Tony next
WTF, how you going to compare Kimbo to a World Boxing Champion. He has not even fought yet and you are talking shit. Dana gave Kimbo the benefot of the doubt, He had his chance.
World Boxing, Kickboxing, Superman stand up Champion won't mean anything when Randy take him to the ground, Dana gave Tony the worst match up possible, Dana intends to get rid of him and if he really wants him in the UFC, why not let him fight Chuck Liddell? its crystal clear.
I wonder if Dana would cut Matt M if he lost to Kimbo
Randy is near 47 dude. I bet you he will get knocked into SPACE! Bwaahhaah!
I believe he would, but lets not get people all upset.
