After filling in for the injured Mike Swick at UFC 103 against Martin Kampmann and knocking him out, Paul "Semtex" Daley is determined to keep turning heads in the welterweight division. Semtex speaks with The Sun and expresses his irritation at Swick's recent comments, which somewhat belittled Daley's career, citing his losses, and denounced his trampling of Kampmann. Although confident that his friend and training partner Dan Hardy will take care of him at UFC 105, Daley offers to smack Swick around, and also mentions that Josh Koscheck and Matt Hughes would be great fights for him.

"Dan is going to smash Swick — he will absolutely smash him. I've sparred with Dan for years, we started Team Rough House together and I know how good he is. Mike hasn't got great punching power, he punches in straight lines and he hasn't got enough to beat Dan. I don't see how he can win this fight." "I saw Mike's comments saying I've got a lot of losses on my record, but he's someone who's never fought a top guy. I don't want to waste too much time on him because he's going to get a beating at the hands of Dan anyway. But if he wants to pull out of his fight with Dan — I'll gladly knock him out instead! I might even ask Dan to put an extra beating on him just to shut him up once and for all!" "...I would welcome a fight with Koscheck if it was offered because it would be entertaining for the fans. However, Matt Hughes, being a former champion, is a bigger scalp and a better name for me to fight, so I'm calling him out."
