Not literally as in "I literally could eat a hundred steaks" but literally as in he is actually fighting to try and get his place back in the UFC. I don't like it when people say literally when they don't mean literally. The word has been misused so much that some dictionaries online reflect the "not-literally literally" turn of phrase now. All of that has nothing to do with anything. http://mmaweekly.com/paul-daley-wants-to-return-to-the-ufc-hoping-to-right-past-wrongs-in-montreal Daley is fighting former UFC fighter Luigi Fiorvanti in Montreal in October.
I'm sure everybody knows by now but for anyone drawn into the forum with the Jeff Monson thread who doesn't follow the sport, Daley was fired from the UFC after sucker-punching his opponent Josh Koscheck after their fight ended. That also happened in Montreal, at a UFC-sanctioned event.
