On the night of Jan. 14, it was nearly impossible to wipe the smile off Alex Davis’ face.
The veteran manager watched with joy as his clients each picked up wins at UFC 142.
For Edson Barboza, the night was exceedingly special, as the 26-year-old was
rewarded with two “Fight Night” honors and $130,000. Davis believes Barboza’s grounded
roots have him prepared to deal with the attention that will soon come,
but the veteran manager warns that not everyone is ready to handle what
comes after special moments in the octagon.
