And I agree Dustin shouldn't take Daley lightly. Semtex Vs. Daley is almost a replica of what this fight was supposed to be. The only difference I see is that Dustin smiles more than Condit. :) Wow Scott H called that one. And I agree Dustin shouldn’t take Daley lightly. Semtex Vs.

I would like to make 3 million dollars this year, but that won't happen either. Unless he doesn't take even one punch in any fight he will never be cleared to fight that much. I'll be surprised as hell if he does more than 6. (Which is the current record I believe, held by Roger Huerta) Chances are he'd be on medical suspension more than once, and there goes his new years resolution. 10-12 times in a year is just unreasonable.

Koscheck has said that he wants to fight 10-12 times in 2010, and this would be a great start to achieving those aspirations.

Not that Alves would be scared to fight, but I just can't see him getting ready on less then four weeks notice.

Alves is a huge step up from Condit. Still like the match up cause I love Alves and that is a win for him I would love to see Daley vs Kos as well but as Makington has already stated its a no go.

I won't get on his case with the whole, 'you don't deserve it dickhead!!!' case, and it wasn't his fault Dana gave him the shot, but it would be even crazier to turn it down to fight his friend. If you gave me a title shot against GSP, I'd take it without a second thought. Sure, 99.9999999% I'd get my ass kicked somewhere into next week, but anything can happen in MMA, we've seen it tons of times. Paul Daley already stopped one fella's title shot, and although I know he'd love to do it again, Dan would be insane to take the fight. I'm actually liking the Alves suggestion, which would be a tough ass 2 fights in the UFC. Ben Saunders is probably still healthy too. If he felt well enough to take a shorter camp and win against Daley, that would be huge for his career. Dan Hardy just got a title shot basically handed to him.

Maybe Alves will be ready by then. This would have been a great fight, its to bad Condit got hurt but hopefully they come up with somebody worthwhile for Daley. Maybe Alves will be ready by then.
