If ever there was an event to make aspiring fighters get out their singlets and focus on their wrestling skills, UFC Fight Night 24 was it.
The ability to successfully complete and/or defend the takedown was the deciding factor in most of the fights on Saturday night. By the end, I think half the arena had unconsciously learned how to shoot a single-leg just from seeing it done over and over and over again. Bet that made for some interesting after-parties.
So who were the biggest winners, losers, and everything in between after Saturday night’s wrestle-fest? The answers await you below.

SEATTLE – To put things in perspective, here’s what Phil Davis did at UFC Fight Night 24 on Saturday night: he stepped up and took a much tougher fight than the one he was originally slated for, much sooner than he was originally training for. Then he won a clear-cut, if not spectacular unanimous decision over an MMA vet with nearly three times as much experience as him in the cage.
To understand the boos from the crowd and the mild disappointment from fans, we should also probably mention what he didn’t do: walk on water.
Maybe Davis was a victim of the UFC’s hype machine, or maybe the specter of new light heavyweight champ Jon Jones still loomed too largely in too many minds on Saturday night. Whatever the cause, in victory Davis found out that it’s not quite enough to be merely very, very good when people, rather rightly or wrongly, expect you to be incredible.

SEATTLE – Phil Davis improved to 9-0 with a unanimous decision win over Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC Fight Night 24, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to start calling for a title shot just yet.
Yes, it was the most significant win of his career so far, Davis acknowledged at the post-fight press conference, but he’s in no hurry to jump all the way to the top of the light heavyweight ladder.
“Pretty much everyone I’ve ever fought has had more experience than I have in fighting,” said Davis. “So just going through four fights in one year in the UFC has put me in a place where everyone is a lot more experienced than I am, so I just need to make sure I’m giving myself enough time to develop as a fighter.”

If you think the stock market trades on emotion and snap judgments, what about the world of MMA, where this morning’s prodigy is tomorrow morning’s garbage? It would be comical to see the seismic opinion shifts that take place before and after events if it wasn’t so sad. Complaints are plentiful about how quick the UFC and other organizations are to cut fighters who lose two or three in a row, yet is there any greater sense of loyalty shown from other quarters of the MMA world?
Here’s the thing about being a pro fighter: it’s hard. Your body gets beat down, your confidence betrays you at times. The media and fans openly question you, your commitment, you endurance, and your all-around game. Matchmakers stick you in the cage with opponents that are good at the things you’re not so good at.
Where is a fighter’s safe harbor? Look, we’re not supposed to like everything shoved down our throats. There are performances that deserve to be booed, and fighters who are difficult to appreciate. There are style clashes that lead to stalemates. But the wild, overreactive swings from one fight to the next make me feel that a dramamine prescription wouldn’t be a bad idea.

In a battle of youth and athleticism against experience and technique, the youngster Phil Davis defeated the legendary Antonio Rogerio Nogueira Saturday night at UFC Fight Night 24.
But it wasn’t easy.
Although Davis came into the fight as a heavy favorite and had been proclaimed by some as the man who would some day beat UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, Nogueira made life difficult for Davis in the early going, and the fight turned into a 15-minute, back-and-forth battle that was closer than the judges’ scorecards — all of which gave Davis the fight 30-27 — would suggest.
