The veteran welterweight slugger revealed this past week that the promotion no longer employs him as a commentator after comments he said were “off-script.” Sources close to the promotion on Monday confirmed to MMA Fighting that Daley will no longer be part of the broadcast team.
“You’re fired,” Daley wrote on Instagram. “Been told I gotta step away from the mic. Guess one of my opinions was a little off script … and I thought I was just finding my groove.”
During one of his most recent appearances as part of the broadcast team, Daley was critical of the matchmaking surrounding Michael “Venom” Page, who has been one of his fiercest rivals in the sport in recent years.
