Wad Alameddine, Daley's manager, recently told MMAjunkie that the Quebec Athletic Commission has set Aug. 10 for a hearing to address the incident, in which Daley slugged Koscheck after the final bell of their co-main event-fight.
Meanwhile, Daley is set to appear at Shark Fights 11 on Sept. 13 in Amarillo, Texas, and Alameddine is confident that a possible punishment will not interfere with the date.
"We've been given a few ideas on how long a suspension Paul's likely to get, and where the suspension is likely to be enforced," Alameddine said. "The more we understood the scenario, and the more we've spoken to the commission about what we should and shouldn't be doing, the more we've felt re-assured that come the hearing we're not going to have any problems competing anywhere, really."
QAC officials could not be reached for confirmation on the hearing date.
Daley threw the punch after a lopsided three-round fight in which Koscheck controlled the action on the mat. In the end, "Kos" got the judges' nod and secured both a coaching slot on "The Ultimate Fighter 12," as well as a shot at welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre.
An angered UFC president Dana White issued Daley's walking papers immediately after UFC 113. Daley eventually apologized for his actions amid scorn from fans and the media, though he would later say the incident would not hamper his fight career. He went on to fight in July's Impact FC 2 in Australia as the QAC waited on its lawyers to schedule a hearing.
