After an ill-fated attempt at making a rematch with Josh Koscheck, Bellator MMA welterweight Paul Daley is ready to move on.?Ive been on his Facebook page and his Dethrone [Facebook] page and called him all profanities that youd expect, Daley, who lost to Koscheck in 2010, told ESPN.com. To fight me was like a golden opportunity for him and he missed the opportunity a few times now. Im not looking to present him with another opportunity.After Koscheck withdrew from their rematch in June due to injury, Daley (38-13-2) now has his focus set on Douglas Lima (26-6). The two will meet in the main event of Saturdays Bellator 158 card at Londons O2 Arena (Spike TV, ESPN Deportes, 9 p.m. ET) with a welterweight title shot in the balance.The event has faced a multitude of changes, most notably due to the June 6 death of Kimbo Slice, who had agreed to a rematch against James Thompson in the headliner. Regarding Slice, Daley said,?Im privileged to take his place as the main event here in London.Daley, 33, enters the bout on a five-fight win streak, including a first-round knockout of Andy Uhrich in January. He said?a title shot, should he defeat Lima, was something he asked for and was agreed to with someone who has a position of power in Bellator.Lima is an opponent that I picked, said Daley. Hes the toughest guy, hes a former champion, so I am excited to get such a motivated fight against a dangerous opponent.A native of Brazil, Lima was bumped from a matchup with Chidi Njokuani at last months Bellator 156 for this bout, his first since dropping the welterweight title to Andrey Koreshkov last July via unanimous decision.The opponent switch creates what could be a high-octane bout with the potential for an explosive finish. Daley, a British kickboxer, has recorded knockouts in 28 of his 38 career wins, while Lima, 28, has finished 23 of his 26 victories. Despite the credentials, Daley says that Lima isnt on my level,?and he is very confident heading into the fight.The only thing that raises his level is that he was the former champion, said Daley. We really believe that this is going to be a fight where we do a bit of a Conor McGregor-Nate Diaz and were at the end saying, Im not surprised m-----f------.Having won nine of his last 10, including eight by stoppage, Daley is predicting hell win by knockout on Saturday. For his training camp, he has sparred with several British pro boxers and worked on his wrestling with the Polish Olympic team, taking part in what he calls mini camps to get prepared for each test. The results, he believes, will be a well-rounded fighter who is more mature inside the cage.I think hes still a little bit too sure of himself, Daley said. You may say that about me, but the way Im humbly putting it is Im just a little bit faster than he thinks. Im a little bit stronger than he thinks and my fight IQ is a little bit higher than he thinks.Daley and Koscheck met at UFC 113 in May 2010, with Koscheck winning by unanimous decision. After the final bell, Daley hit Koscheck in the face, which resulted in Daleys release from the company later that night in Montreal. But the fortunes of each fighter changed from that point, with Koscheck finishing his UFC run with a 2-6 mark and Daley amassing a 14-4 record outside of the Octagon.Koscheck, a veteran of 25 fights in the Octagon, lost his last five UFC bout and signed with Bellator last June. His debut was scheduled for January at Bellator 148 in his hometown of Fresno, California, against Matt Secor?but he pulled out with an undisclosed injury. This elevated Daley to the main event, with Semtex quickly dispatching Uhrich just two minutes in with an explosive uppercut, launching a chorus of boos from the partisan crowd.After Daley called his rival out (referring to him as Crotch Check), the rematch was set for London until Koscheck was forced to pull out once again with an undisclosed injury. Daley isnt buying it and claims he was expecting it to happen.He didnt realize I was so invested in whooping his ass, said Daley. This was a fight where I intended to put severe beats on him and I think he got that sense, and he didnt have the same motivation or the same energy and sometimes you need that.For a combatant who has 53 pro bouts, Saturday will hold a special significance for Daley. It will be his first fight in his native land in nearly two years. For someone who is normally booed loudly in America, especially where Koscheck is supported, Daley is expected to get a rousing ovation from the home crowd. He compared it to his UFC New Years card appearance in Las Vegas, a first-round knockout of Dustin Hazelett in the co-main event on UFC 108.This one could top that being that its in the UK and Im going to actually have the supporters with me, said Daley. Itll be up there [and] maybe even surpass the MGM Grand. Im really looking forward to having the home crowd on such a large scale being behind me.

Marie, Ont., team took control of the game early. Leicestershire 334 (Dexter 136, McKay 55, Cosgrove 54, Norwell 4-72) drew with Gloucestershire 403 for 2 dec (Dent 165, van Buuren 121*)Scorecard Gloucestershire opener Chris Dent maintained his impressive form with a third Championship century of the season as a little more than four hours of cricket were salvaged from another contest wrecked by rain.In largely benign conditions, Dent, the 25-year-old left-hander, thoroughly dominated the Leicestershire attack for the most part on a final day spent chasing bonus points. Defeated finally on 165, Dent had survived a couple of scares but otherwise was particularly impressive, hitting the ball cleanly all around the wicket, picking up 112 runs in boundaries.It was an innings that will only reinforce Gloucestershire coach Richard Dawsons conviction that Dent should be under consideration for the England Lions, who meet Pakistan A during the Cheltenham Festival in July.South African Graeme van Buuren supplemented Dents commanding performance with an authoritative century of his own - his second in the Championship - as Leicestershires bowling was made to suffer in Gloucestershires successful push for maximum batting bonus points.They took 12 points to Leicestershires eight, lifting them to third in the Division Two table after the two had begun the match level pegging.Dent has scored 805 runs at 57.80 in first-class matches this year and has been in good form in white-ball cricket too, with two hundreds to his name in 50-over matches for good measure.He might have been out on 81 when Ned Eckersley, keeping wickett while Niall OBrien recovers from a calf injury, missed a leg-side catching chance off Richard Jones and perhaps should have been stumped on 147 off Neil Dexter but those were rare errors.ddddddddddddhen play began at 1.10pm after warm sunshine had drawn enough of the moisture from a sodden outfield for play to begin, the start of Dents five hours at the crease must have felt that it belonged to another match. He had been 34 from 83 deliveries before Tuesdays close, when scoring runs was a difficult process on a slow pitch.More than five full sessions were then lost, including the whole of the third day, taking Leicestershires tally of overs surrendered to the weather this season beyond 900 in the Championship alone. Yet while the outfield remained damp, the pitch looked to have quickened up.Certainly, Dent and van Buuren made it appear that way. Dent reached his hundred from 163 balls and added the next 50 at a run a ball. Van Buuren, who had emerged after an hour when Gareth Roderick edged Jones to first slip, then turned an 82-ball half-century into a 123-ball hundred in a partnership that added 177 in just 34 overs.Dent was beginning to take liberties a little when he was leg before to Dexter attempting to whip the ball through midwicket in search of another boundary, but his departure merely ushered in Michael Klinger, whose rapid unbeaten 45 helped take the total beyond 400 and the expected handshakes from just 89.1 overs.
