Big head kick by Mr. Wonderful hurts Little Nog in the early going. Davis looks for an early takedown but Nogueira stops it. The fight remains on the feet. Nogueira looking for big shots, and is landing in the early going. Nog stuffs another takedown, and another. Big shots being thrown by Nogueira. Good straight left by Nog, and again. Nog is sprawling and brawling to good effect, and Davis looks a little unsure of himself. Excellent first round for Rogerio Nogueira.

Second round begins with Nogueira staying in the pocket and looking to counter-box. Davis is having trouble getting off. Nogueira yet to hurt Davis, however. Nogueira starting to connect hard halfway through the round, and Davis starting to wince. Davis gets the first takedown in the third minute and starts to do some good work from on top of Nogueira's turtle position. Davis's late work on the ground likely give him the round as the horn sounds.

Flying knee and high kick by Davis to begin the final round. A single leg from Davis gets his second takedown, this time early in the round. Lil Nog tries to scramble up but Davis is ahead of him and maintains top control. Nog gets the sweep and gets back to his feet halfway through the last frame. A big strike lands from Nogueira, but another takedown from Davis follows moments after. Nog now needs to do something dramatic. Nogueira is bucking and rolling, throwing up his legs, but Davis is playing it conservative and rides out the round in Nogueira's guard. The judges score it 30-27 across the board for Phil "Mr. Wonderful" Davis.
