Paul Daley clobbers Brennan Ward with flying knee

Paul Daley may have locked up the 2017 knockout of the year already.

Expectations were high for Daley and fellow brawler Brennan Ward in the co-main event of Bellator 170 on Saturday in Inglewood, Calif. and the action did not disappoint. After a couple of minutes of back-and-forth action, Daley unloaded on Ward with a flying knee that instantly separated Ward from his senses.

"Semtex" improved to 5-1 in the Bellator cage with all but one of those wins coming by way of knockout.

Post-fight, Daley warned recent Bellator signee Rory MacDonald that he would be his next KO victim if they get into the cage together.
