Mark Daley Beats Scott Smith

Mark Daley Beats Scott Smith - Nottingham's Paul Daley scored a devastating first-round knockout over Scott Smith on the Strikeforce show at the Scottrade Center in St Louis.

Daley opened up with kicks and punches. He then found his range with a one-two combination and landed a right hand that put Smith down.

The fight went to ground before a dazed Smith got back to his feet.

Daley didn't dive in but used his jab and waited for another opening. He didn't have to wait long as Smith walked on to a stunning left hook and crashed down to the canvas unconscious. It was all over at the 2:09 mark.


Daley was also the star of the post-fight press conference.

"Coming into the fight, I was a little worried about Scott's power," said Daley. "He's a nice guy, he's a great fighter and I had to be cautious. He's been in a few Rocky moments, but this ain't no movie.

"I hit him to stay hit. 'Semtex' is for real."

Confident Daley already knows who he wants to fight next.

"I want KJ Noons," he said. "Let's sign on the dotted line. Let's get this fight done.

"Next is Nick Diaz. I ain't messing around. I'm here to be the champion and I'm going to be the champion."

Daley improves his record to 26-9-2, while Smith drops to 17-8 with one NC.

Daley didn't mind that his knockout came too late to be included in consideration for the World MMA Awards, in Las Vegas.

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone - Police say a man on a Southwest Airlines flight from Las Vegas punched a teenager who refused to turn off his iPhone as the plane approached the Boise airport. Officers arrested 68-year-old Russell E. Miller, of Boise, on suspicion of misdemeanor battery Tuesday. He has been released from jail on bond. Witnesses told police the 15-year-old was playing games and listening to music on his cell phone when flight attendants instructed passengers to turn off their electronic devices because the plane was landing. Witnesses told police that when the teen didn't respond, Miller got angry and punched the boy in the arm. Miller says he "tapped" the teen on the shoulder after he refused to turn off the phone.
