'Paul Daley has never hit harder' claims Ross Pearson

Daley's hitting harder than ever claims Pearson

Ross Pearson has tipped Paul Daley to "crumble" Josh Koscheck when the two welterweights clash on Saturday.

Pearson trains every day with Team Rough House fighter Daley, who has long been known as the most explosive striker on the English MMA scene. Mixing a background in kickboxing with sheer pyrotechnics in his hands, Daley has fought two fights in the UFC - finishing both by knockout.

Such has been his devastating splash onto the UFC scene that he is likely to set up a title shot by beating Koscheck, a man who should hold the grappling advantage in Canada.

Pearson does not believe Koscheck's wrestling will become a factor though, insisting there is no other possible outcome than a Paul Daley KO.

"Paul's looking good man. His wrestling's coming on, he's looking strong, powerful and he's hitting harder than ever," Pearson told ESPN.co.uk.

"I can't see anything other than a Paul Daley knockout. I really think he's gonna make this guy crumble.

"I believe everything he says and I believe he's gonna bang it up there."
