It’s a walk off.
Paul Daley lived up to everyone’s expectations with a one-round demolition of Andy Uhrich at Bellator 148.
Former UFC/Strikeforce star Daley (38-13-2, 4-0 Bellator) took little time to finish the fight, stopping his opponent just two minutes into the opening round, rendering him unconscious with a one-punch, walk-off haymaker. Daley landed a right-left combo before resetting, moving in and flooring Ulrich with a thunderous right uppercut.

The result brings Daley one step closer to getting a highly anticipated rematch against Josh Koscheck. Daley was cut from the UFC after he hit Koscheck with a cheap shot following his decision loss to the TUF veteran at UFC 113 in Montreal.
Daley apologised for hitting Koscheck after the bell, but claimed that he was pushed over the edge by his opponent’s trash-talking during the bout.
Koscheck signed for Bellator in June 2015, but has yet to make his promotional debut. It is expected that his first fight will be the Daley rematch.
