Daley replaces Swick for UFC 103

British MMA star Paul ‘Semtex’ Daley will replace Mike Swick for a fight against Martin Kampmann on September 19.

Swick has suffered a training accident while sparring against Josh Koscheck ahead of the fight.

Daley told The Sun: “I got the call and I accepted. I came to the UFC to fight the best, and that’s what I am going to do.

“Kampmann is on a roll with the UFC, but I will roll over him. Semtex is going to explode onto the UFC’s welterweight scene at UFC 103.”

The UFC’s UK president Marshall Zelaznik added: “Semtex has come to the UFC with a lot of hype, a lot of ability and — as he’s already proved — a lot of confidence.

“He was asked to step up and — real fighter that he is — he accepted right away.

“He’s already done the UK proud by stepping up and I know he’s going to go all out to do exactly the same at UFC 103.

“He has an attack-minded style and British fans will be able to see Paul make his debut against one of the best 170lbs fighters in the UK on ESPN.”
