Interview with Paul Daley, he would like to fight Nick Diaz next!

We here at Fight Trader had the great pleasure to interview Paul Daley recently. Even though right now in the sport he is getting a lot of attention for the things that had happened in his fight against Josh Kosceck, it seems he is very sorry for what happened. He is getting right back in there to fight again on July 18th in Australia and from my side of the table the guy could not have been a nicer guy and more of a gentleman. Here is our interview with Paul:
