Josh Koscheck"He hit me after the bell and got booted from the UFC," is how Koscheck described the incident in a recent interview with Sherdog.com. "Ever since then I've wanted to fight him."
Daley fought at Bellator 140, scoring a technical knockout in the second round on Dennis Olson. According to Sherdog.com, Daley is scheduled to appear at Bellator Dynamite in a kickboxing bout, with an opponent yet to be named.
Koscheck had long been a fixture within Ultimate Fighting Championships until this past March, when he lost to Erick Silva at UFC Fight Night "Maia vs. LaFlare," his fifth consecutive defeat within the organization. According to Koscheck, he spoke to the UFC about a new contract, but he found their offer to be less than satisfactory.
The 37-year-old Koscheck launched his MMA career in 2004. His career took off when he was a contestant on the reality TV series The Ultimate Fighter in 2005, participating in 25 UFC events over the decade. His overall MMA record is now 27-10.
Prior to entering MMA, Koscheck made a name for himself on the wrestling mat. A native of Waynesburg, Pa., Koscheck was a runner-up at the Pennsylvania state wrestling championships in 1997. He then wrestled at Edinboro in west-central Pennsylvania, where he was a four-time NCAA All-American at 174 pounds from 1999-2002, winning the national title at the 2001 NCAAs. In addition, Koscheck was twice named Eastern Wrestling League Wrestler of the Year.
