Paul ‘Semtex’ Daley Update!
By Dave Carpinello
PDG: Less than a week before the fight; how did the training go?
Daley: Training has gone real well, about 10 weeks of preparation, so it's been long and hard. From the United Kingdom with my team Rough House, to Holland with Mike’s Gym and Melvin Manhoef, then finally here in the USA with the guys at the Armory Gym in Florida.
PDG: Your opponent; Jake Shields. What do you think of him and do you see any advantages for you going into this fight?
Daley: Yes, of course. He's striking is not that good but he's ground game is dangerous. So yes, there are definite advantages.
PDG: This could be a record night on Network TV; How does it feel to be fighting on EliteXC-CBS on Saturday Night Live?
Daley: It's awesome, a lot of people are going to be watching and I’m looking forward to entertaining the fans. I am going to have a lot of ‘Semtex’ fans after this fight.
PDG: Besides your fight, are looking forward to any of the other fights that night?
Daley: The Gina Carano and Andre Arlovski's fights should be interesting.
PDG: You had said in the past you were retiring; what changed your mind?
Daley: I just needed to re focus.
PDG: One of your training partners; Melvin Manhoef fought last week at Dream. He had a tough loss, have you talked with him since?
Daley: No, not yet, but hopefully he comes out to the show here in Florida.
PDG: Good Luck Saturday; is there anything you would like to add?
Daley: Thanks to my sponsors: - lemarr.com hijakbaselayer.com hitmanfightgear.com, Triumph fightwear Onthemat.compimpit.com Base Knux!!
