Bellator Thanks Zuffa for Releasing Paul Daley

---

Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney, on “Beatdown,” discussing Bellator’s signing of Paul Daley:

“I’m forever thankful to Zuffa relative to Paul Daley. I’m thankful they gave him the release. I’ve been a ‘Semtex’ fan for years. If you like mixed martial arts and you like explosive fights in the cage and you like guys who bring the fight, Paul Daley has got to be up in your top-10 list. Win or lose, he doesn’t know how to have a boring fight. … As soon as that opportunity came up and he actually got the release, we moved on that immediately. I think that’s a no-brainer. He’s been very vocal and very articulate about what happened, about the misstep that he had, very public about it and … I think, spoken very eloquently about it. I’m just thrilled to have him under the banner.”
