Sources at MMAWeekly.com have reported that U.K. mixed martial artist Paul Daley will be returning to the kickboxing ring this March at GLORY 5.

Daley, who was slated to be one of Bellator’s most prized free agent acquisitions, found himself unable to compete in the promotion’s welterweight tournament due to visa complications stemming from a barroom brawl in his native England. However, the 29 year old heavy hitter has none the less remained active; Daley is set to headline Cage Contender’s February 23rd MMA card in Dublin, Ireland before making the transition back to the kickboxing ring on March 23rd.

Known best for his dynamic striking and knockout power in the MMA world, “Semtex” is no stranger to kickboxing, amassing a record of 14-3 in European Muay Thai and K-1 rules competition. Daley’s opponent has yet to be named.

GLORY 5 is set to take place at London’s Excel Arena and will be headlined by a super heavyweight tilt between Tyrone Spong and Remy Bonjasky. Stay close to ProMMANow.com for all the latest kickboxingnews, notes, and commentary as GLORY 5 takes shape.

Man, i just want to see him fight again. So many people give the guy ****, but he'll always be one of my favorites. Interesting that he's doing kickboxing though.

I guess that "superfight" with War Machine will never happen. I didn't get why that fight was so popular

I think people just wanted to see two thug criminals beat the **** out of each other. At least I did.

I definitely would have watched it, but it seemed like Bellator put much more stock in that fight than it deserved

It probably would have been exciting for a few minutes until Daley knocked him out, Wasn't that the fight that the fans voted for to kick off Bellator on Spike? Way to deliver Bjorn.

Yeah it was. And they made SURE everyone watching Bellator knew that was the fight that the fans wanted. Now that it won't happen, I got a chuckle out of it.

Daley/War Machine was just a popular idea because a lot of people hate War Machine, and would like to see him get destroyed.
