Barring an unlikely change of heart, Paul Daley’s fight against Jon Fitch on Saturday will be one of Daley’s last under the Bellator umbrella.
The veteran welterweight has publicly feuded with the promotion since his September 2017 knockout win over Lorenz Larkin. Along the way, Daley has repeatedly cited a lack of respect he feels he’s received from Bellator executives and expressed disgruntlement with the lackluster promotional push he feels he’s gotten since his defeat of Larkin, a former top-10 welterweight in the UFC and marquee free agent signing by Bellator.
