I like Davis. Seems like a nice guy with an awesome personality and I'm glad he won. But he has GOT to mix up his game a little more. So robotic. No fluidity, terrible at setting up takedowns and virtually any kind of offense. He has all the physical tools he just needs to work on putting everything together.

It's funny how some people are hating on Davis for not finishing Vinny considering before this fight, a lot of people were saying that Vinny was the superior striker. Give Phil this win and don't nit pick so much. He clearly needs to work on his striking still, but at least he is improving a little. He kept that jab out consistently and it paid off. Vinny had nothing for him and has a lot to work on if he wants to succeed in MMA. BJJ and some kicks only get you so far.

I admit I said I thought Vinny MIGHT out strike him if he got aggressive. He even said on the lead up that he needs to be aggressive....and he wasn't.

Phil seemed to have thrown more hands than his usual kick from range approach. He is still an awful striker with overrated BJJ. He will beat his share of guys, but I don't really care for his fighting. I think Bader would beat him.

I hate it ... everytime 2 guys that are good on the ground collide we see a stand up fight , witch is stupid in my opinion .. ffs its not a trick anymore to use stand up as gameplan agaisnt a ground guy , everybody knows this now .. so throw your fking body on him and do what you do best ... its just stupid now , work on boxing when you fight a striker not a wrestler or a jiujitsu guy ffs... everybody does this now and its stupid now ...

Yeah, Davis still needs to work hard on his striking, but at least he's not the worst striker at 205 anymore. Baby steps I guess. Good win for him and it shows that he's at least improving, regardless of the pace.
