Paul Daley spoke with MMAjunkie ahead of his fight with Derek Anderson at Bellator 163. Some highlights are below:

On a fight with Rory MacDonald: “Definitely it’s a fight that interests me. I would love to test my skills against a guy that’s challenged for the UFC title. It would be a great fight. He’s the new prodigy after B.J. Penn. It would be great because he has a name, and it would be good to test my skills against him. We’ll see what happens. I think he will probably go straight for the title. We’ll see. If the fight is offered, I’ll take that.”

On a potential match with Josh Koscheck: “I think he’s past that – I think Koscheck is past it. It’s quiet on the Koscheck front, and I’m not interested in calling him out or anything. I just don’t think the guy’s head is in the game. He’s quiet, and I think he’s a guy that’s going to stay there. More power to him. If you’re not really feeling it, then it’s dangerous to accept such a fight against me. I’m past that fight. There are many more interesting fights out there for me.”

On fighting regularly: “I just want to stay active, and it’s one of the things I’ve loved to do in my career. There are a lot of opportunities to stay active with Bellator and stay in the cage fighting.”
