#1 Daley’s post-fight sucker-punch

The story coming into the fight between Paul Daley and Josh Koscheck at UFC 113 was that it was a match between the UFC’s two biggest bad-boys – the fight for the black hat, Daley put it. When all was said and done, the British striker may have lost the fight, but he was the only one that came away wearing the black hat.

Despite promising a shootout, Koscheck decided to play it smart and used his smothering wrestling game to essentially hold Daley down for the full three rounds, never allowing him to land a clean strike. As the clock ticked down, Koscheck – known for his trash talk – clearly said something to Daley and when the buzzer went, before the referee could step in, the Brit unleashed a sucker-punch on Koscheck as he walked away in celebration.

The move horrified everyone from referee Dan Miragliotta – who restrained Daley – to the anti-Koscheck crowd. It was the biggest moment of disrespect in UFC – and probably MMA – history, and the only thing it earned Daley after the fight was his pink slip. Dana White immediately released him from the promotion and he’s never been back since.
