Paul Daley called for his release from Bellator on Facebook earlier this month and he asked for it privately with an executive, too, Daley told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour. That executive, Daley said, told him he was free and clear.
Apparently, that was not true.
“I thought it was legit,” Daley said. “I thought I was free of Bellator. The next thing I’m hearing, I’m not.”
Daley, 34, does still want out for many reasons. “Semtex” said he wants to remain active and he has not been offered a fight of interest since he knocked out Lorenz Larkin back in September.
