Paul Daley and Kimbo Slice Cut from the UFC

English mma fighter Paul Daley was cut from the UFC by president Dana White after a cheap shot to opponent Josh Koscheck after their UFC 113 co main event fight was over.  Daley showed frustration at the end of his one-sided loss to Koscheck.  During an interview with ESPN's MMA Live Koscheck admitted to talking to Daley a lot during the last minute of the fight in response to all the nasty things Daley had said about Kos leading up to the fight.  Even with Koscheck's talking at the end of the fight and the controversy over Koscheck's possible overselling of an illegal knee to the head by Daley during the fight, general consensus is that Daley needs to act more like a professional and that the punishment fits the crime.  Here is a link showing the cheap shot as long as it hasn't been removed from Youtube yet.
