Welterweight Derek Anderson twice missed out on a chance to fight Paul Daley in the Bellator cage. But he took home what he considers a moral victory.
“I don’t think I could have gotten more confidence off of fighting him and beating him than him chickening out on me twice, so I’m good,” Anderson, who on Thursday faces Killys Mota at Bellator 251, told MMA Fighting. “I’m good.”
Anderson was asked whether he’d like to be the opponent standing across the cage when Daley appears in his retirement fight, which he announced after his second booking with Anderson was canceled due to complications from weight-cutting.
