"I’m happy to be fighting again. It’s a big fight. For those who haven’t seen the Melvin Manhoef vs. Cyborg fight, watch it and expect the same outcome for Cyborg … He’ll be knocked out," Daley said.
"Just like me, Cyborg’s been around since the Cage Rage days. He brings experience and power to the cage, like me. He’s an aggressive guy, like me. And it will be an entertaining fight, like mine always are."
Santos was expected to meet Tarec Saffiedine on the July 30th card, but the fight was never confirmed by the promotion. With this new bout signed and the recent news that Nick Diaz vacated his Strikeforce welterweight title, let the speculation begin whether this bout will be contested for that title. Will Daley vs. Cyborg be a five-rounder? We should find out in the coming days. Both fighters are coming off losses to Diaz in title fights, so it would make sense."Just like me, Cyborg’s been around since the Cage Rage days. He brings experience and power to the cage, like me. He’s an aggressive guy, like me. And it will be an entertaining fight, like mine always are."
