The Bellator welterweight called out MVP after stopping Lorenz Larkin last Saturday with another superb knockout finish.

It is the second time this year Daley has spoken directly to Page after a fight.

Rather than follow up on his cageside scuffle with Page at Bellator London in May, Daley opted to fight Larkin.

MVP has spoken at length about his frustration at Daley dodging him, but the Brit insisted he is a level above his rival.

‘Not really,’ Daley responded to whether he wants to face MVP next.



‘It’s not the main thing on my horizon, but it’s the thing other people have spoken about.

‘It’s something people think I’m agreeing to.

‘I want people to know that a win over Lorenz elevates me above an MVP fight.

‘We’ll have to see what MVP does next. He’s boxing, an immediate fight is not there.’

‘I’d love to fight for the title,’ he said.

‘I’ve never fought for the title in a major organization, UFC or Bellator. I’ve come so close.’

He added: ‘For a rematch with Rory, if he beats Lima, I’d have to concentrate on different areas of my game.

‘I thought (the first fight) would be another Robbie Lawler slugfest, but he went to his strengths and went immediately for takedowns.

‘Looking at the first fight, I’d make big adjustments in training camp, and I’ll come in with a different mentality.’
