Exactly. Davis needs to be brought along more slowly imo.

Really terrible news. Phil Davis vs Rashad sounds like it has the potential to be a hug fest.

Big opportunity for Davis. I think it's gonna be a crazy fight.

Jones Being injured sucks, and it seems like these two are two magnets pushing each other away... Sad

BTW dude, what have you done to the format of the text, this page is like 7,8 miles wide :S

Davis has a bright future no doubt, but this is like being weened off breatmilk and onto whiskey...

In the case he beats Rashad, awesome, but I really think that he needed some time off to develop and so on... We'll have to see, but I predict Evans winning here, sadly :/

Awesome Anderson Silva interview. Helwani now trying to get Davis, Jones or Evans on the phone line live.... http://www.mmafighting.com/2011/04/2...res-in-studio/

Then Iceman and BJ Penn.

No comments about Rashad putting it all on the line and not waiting for a title shot?

Personally, I think Dana hates Rashad and is praying that Davis is as good as I think he is and will knock Rashad off.

I also think it's a ballsy matchup that fans should be saying thank you for.

Bringin' along slowly is for boxing

Over half his wins are finishes, that's not a bad rate. But over half of those were against mediocre competition.

I'm not really sure if it's going to be a hugfest. Both guys are great wrestlers so there's a decent chance one of them can nullify the other's clinches and takedowns if they want to keep it a striking war.

okay, so davis is replacing jones in the title fight? so winner of this fight gets an interim belt.. or is dana ******* rashad in the ass without so much as a courtesy spit?

It's cause he used the code tag instead of quote- code tag was designed for displaying programming code where preserving lines in their entirety (rather than wrapping text down to the next line like quote or standard tag-less posts do) is very important.

I'm gonna change that as I merge this though, cause this nuts.

Although I don't like interim titles, it would suck for Rashad, after taking so much time off to wait for Shogun, and then now losing his title shot for who knows how much longer.
