Bjorn Rebney Would Love to Match War Machine Against Paul Daley, But Can’t Right Now
By: Sherdog.com Staff
Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney, on “Beatdown,” discussing whether we could see War Machine against Paul Daley at some point:
“I would love to do that fight. That would be a wickedly good fight … . The problem with Paul right now is he still doesn’t have his legal situation worked out so that he can get into the U.S. Paul still cannot travel to the U.S. from the U.K. I’ve been e-mailing him back and forth, and we’ve been talking to what’s called in London his solicitor -- it’s his attorney -- and they have high hopes that it’s going to get cleared up and the case is going to get dropped. They’ve had some good progress in the case the last two times they’ve been in front of the judge, but he still can’t get into the United States.”
