BACKSTORY
He's a bit of a jokester and always fights with a smile on his face, loving what he's doing and never taking himself or his opponent too seriously. Delaney is five fights into his first contract with Union GP. After a string of successes in his first five fights, he suffered a second round defeat at the hands of Lightweight Champion Hanako Takeuchi in the Main Event of UGP 11. Undeterred and with a show of respect, Delaney is determined to rebound and stay atop the deep Lightweight Division.
FIGHTING STYLE
PRIMARY: Muay Thai
SECONDARY: n/a
STANCE: Orthodox
STRENGTHS
-
Striking: If he can get his hands on his opponent he can do some serious damage.
-
Unflappable: Wins don't overly excite him, though he will gloat. And losses don't damage his psyche too much.
-
Toughness: He can take a beating and keep going.
WEAKNESSES
-
Submissions: On the ground there is absolutely zero chance that Delaney is going to look for a submission.
-
Takedowns: Hasn't paid as much attention to his takedown and takedown defense skills as he should.
-
Overly casual: He doesn't take himself seriously, and certainly doesn't take anyone he fights seriously.
