In a recent interview, Paul "Semtex" Daley let it be known that he wasn't necessarily interested in a Jake Shields re-match, because Shields is, as he says, a boring fighter.
"I am not in a rush to rematch him. I am so much better than I was when I lost that fight. I don’t like talking about it - I didn’t perform and I didn’t do myself justice. He’s a boring fighter. Fair play, he’s had a lot of wins and he’s a top fighter who adds to the division, but I enjoy being called the most exciting new fighter in the UFC and don’t want boring fights. Shields is always in boring fights due to his style and I don’t want to be in boring bouts. I am happy to go 6-0 in the UFC before thinking of a title shot. But I also understand that champ Georges St-Pierre is running out of opponents and so guys are getting title fights a little sooner because GSP has beaten a lot of the top guys, including Koscheck."
It would definitely be a fight I'd watch, but it would be much different than their first meeting. Daley has indeed improved tremendously and is a lot more explosive than Shields.
