Before Jon Jones defends his illustrious title opposite Brazilian powerhouse Glover Teixeira at UFC 172, two more light heavyweights will wage war as part of Saturday’s main card.
On one side of the cage will stand Phil “Mr. Wonderful” Davis, a top contender who is searching for a trademark finish to catapult an already near-perfect UFC career.
On the other side will stand Anthony “Rumble” Johnson, a former UFC welterweight standout who has reshaped his career as a 205-pound knockout artist.
As one of the very best wrestlers in mixed martial arts right now, Davis serves as the perfect antidote to Johnson’s heavy hands and free-swinging ways.
It should be a tremendous matchup leading up to the championship main event and truly has the makings of a bout for the No. 1 contendership, should there be an impressively dominant finish.
Here’s Davis vs. Johnson in an always entertaining head-to-toe breakdown.
