Paul Daley: 'Josh Koscheck needs to win a fight first' before booking a rematch

UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Though Paul Daley ultimately vanquished Dennis Olson on Friday night, it ended up being a little bit of a struggle. A couple of times in the first round of the co-main event on Friday night "Semtex" was double-legged and taken down. No big deal since he scored a vicious second-round TKO anyway, right?

Well, with his nemesis Josh Koscheck sitting cageside for his fight, those double-leg takedowns were loaded.

"I felt his presence," the 32-year-old Daley said after the fight. "When Olson came out and shot the double-leg and he got it straight away, I was like damn…I know Koscheck’s going to be like, yes or whatever.
