Dude showed good progression in the submission game in his last fight... That's why I called Phil via submission in the pick em league.
He's coming along nicely. Still a way to go but loads of potential with this guy.
edit: Davis seems like a nice cat too with the mom mouth guard. Articulate and has some personality too. Headliner in the making perhaps. And I bet he's gonna get Chandella in a rear naked, if ya know what I'm sayin... ;p
Phil is awesome. I cant wait until he finally gets paired with another wrestler so he can knock them the *** out. Dude has serious power in his hands, technique will come.
Mr. Wonderful speaks so well, even with a mouthpiece in. Anything I say with a mouthpiece sounds like mumbled noises.
This dude is fully of character too, I love this guy the more I see and hear him. I hope he continues to improve, I haven't seen the fight yet but hearing that he got a submission finish makes me think he's going to become a big threat when he fully develops his skills.
there are barely any blacks in the ufc as it is, why is it that anytime a new one emerges ppl like you always want to see black fighter A go against black fighter B?..Cant jones and davis just continue to progress simutaniously?
Maybe because they are both ultra-talented wrestlers ant the match-up would be super-awesome?
But yeah - I'm not the biggest supporter of up&comer vs. up&comer too.
I hated this fight to be honest. I knew Phil would win because he's a beast, but look how much promise Gustaffson has. He works hard and actually manage to show some good TDD, which was questioned by some MMA experts. He's a destroyer on the feet and is a huge guy, hate to see him take a L, but he will be back hopefully against an easier guy.
Davis vs Jones would be a great fight but not right now, let them both have a couple more fights and if they both go through a couple of top 10-15 guys then maybe you are looking at a fight between them down the line, atm I think Jones gets winner of lil Nog vs griffin and Davis gets winner of Hamill vs Jardine
Phil Davis is so cool. Was supporting him when he made his UFC debut, and I'm liking him even more now. He still has a few holes in his game; he doesn't appear to have much stand-up, and his ground control could do with some work, but it seems like he understands that, and is working hard to improve. Definitely going to be cheering the guy on next time he fights; he's also getting added to my ever-growing signature.
i'd like to see him face Jason Brilz, Kyle Kingsbury or maybe bring back Tim Boetsch next.
