UFC 163 saw a major changeup to the landscape of the light heavyweight division. In addition to Anthony Perosh’s surprise 14-second knockout of Vinny Magalhaes, Phil Davis shocked Lyoto Machida with a decision victory that set the Twitter world ablaze.
In a lackluster affair, Davis used more aggression and several takedowns to score points and win the fight. Many felt that he had not done enough to outpoint the crisper, more quantitative strikes of Machida, but nevertheless the American made a big move in the 205-pound division.
In the aftermath of UFC 163, here are the top 10 205-pounders in the company.
