In this exclusive full interview with Phil Davis, Bleacher Report talks to the UFC fighter about Dana White’s decision to not have him fight in 133 after a training injury that effected his knee, the Rampage, Suga, Jones debacle, watching fights as a spectator, his all around training regiment, and more.

 

“If you don’t have wrestling now, you will lose, that’s a fact” Said Davis as he was asked about wrestling and how it’s effected the UFC. Davis is known as one of the most decorated collegiate wrestlers to compete in mixed martial arts and has been nothing short of impressive in his UFC career. Currently undefeated and boasting an undefeated 9-0 record, Davis looked to be one win away from a light heavyweight title shot. But an injury forced him out of his UFC 133 fight with Rashad Evans. So Davis will heal up and await his next opponent in hopes of staying in the title mix.
