Paul Daley said today he no longer is a Bellator fighter. But Bellator begs to differ.
After a recent rift with the promotion, Daley (40-15-2 MMA, 6-2 BMMA) apparently requested to be released from his Bellator contract. He took to social media today to say the company obliged, which would make the welterweight veteran a free agent.
But a senior Bellator official today told MMAjunkie that Daley’s online claim is not true, and as of now he remains under contract with the promotion.
In his announcement (via Facebook), Daley said he wants to fight elsewhere over the final 18 months of his career after he wraps up the paperwork:
