Um…this is the only pic of them together we could find, so they must be hiding this relationship well.
Ever since an entire year ago, when Ariel Helwani asked “Mr. Wonderful” Phil Davis who he wanted to fight next and he answered, “Chandella Powell“. (See video below) Rumors have swirled that the two may be secretly dating or at the very least, Davis has a torch for her.
A short time after the interview with Helwani, That MMA Guy, Ryan Justason straight up asked Davis:
RJ: “Do you have a thing for Chandella Powell?”
And with out saying yes, (but essentially saying yes) Davis replied,
PD: “I mean, she’s a good looking young lady but I think she’s fairly professional. I don’t think fighters are her thing.”
And now, over an entire year later, Phil Davis appeared on The MMA Hour this week and said he didn’t know who his next opponent would be but again, brought up the one person who seems to be on the tip of his tongue and at the forefront of his head. Again, saying he would like to fight Powell:
PD: “You know what? She’s ready. I’m ready.”
If the two aren’t secretly dating, there may be some kind of special bond brewing. Even Powell took to Twitter last week, tweeting:
To everyone asking me, No I am not dating @philmrwonderful yes he is one of my favorite people in the UFC and my very good friend.
Davis is one of her favorite people? Seems like Mr. Wonderful knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s winning the fights and the girls. Take note, Charlie Sheen.
