Evans had the following to say about his fight with Davis, “My road back to the title continues in Philadelphia against Phil Davis and I expect this to be one of the best fights of the year. Phil is on the rise in this sport and it’s my job to put an end to that.
“He’s a former national champion wrestler and he’s been impressive thus far in the UFC, but my experience in big fights gives me the edge. I want another shot at the belt and I’ve got to beat Phil to earn it.”
Davis, who hails from Harrisburg, Pa., offered the following, “I’m definitely glad to be back in Pennsylvania for the biggest fight of my life. It’s going to be good to be able to fight in front of all my family and friends. I feel like I can take this fight wherever I want. I can wrestle with Rashad, I can strike with him, and I feel confident wherever this fight goes.
“Rashad Evans is the most dangerous opponent I’ve ever faced, but I don’t think for a minute that I’m outmatched. I’m going to take care of this fight and do whatever I have to do to beat Rashad.”
