lol. I don't think any MMA fighter loves to get hit.

Phil Davis has even said he doesn't like to get hit, and if he does he shoots for a take down, that is just his natural tendency.

phil got cracked hard by lil nog countering from the southpaw position...he'll be fine, rashad didn't look like he liked gettin hit by machida either, no one likes gettin hit...even chris leben doesn't like it, it just pisses him off and he swings

I think rashad takes this fight also, but not because of phil davis not liking to get hit. I think he takes it by being a bit better everywhere.

I'm pretty sure Forrest Griffin has said a dozen times or more that he likes getting hit.

I'm pretty sure Anderson changed his mind about that lol Forrest says a lot of silly ****...most of it should be taken with a grain of salt

Is he trying to be an ******* now? He never really talked **** like this before, he might be letting his head get too big.

I agree, Phil Davis' stock fell in the Nog fight imo...He got his TD's stuffed the whole first round and his striking didn't look improved at all, it was bad.

Saying a guy doesn't really like to get hit is talking trash and being an *******? I still find it funny how Jones' haters try to grasp at everything and turn it negative. "Oh he's so ****y, arrogant, blah blah blah" He's confident, and every fighter should be.

and what will evans do to davis? hit him in the face and pounce on him. he will either ko/tko him in the second or get the UD.

Rashad will hit Davis. Davis will drop. Davis will have to get woken up.

if evans hits him enough times in the face do you think he will turtle up like lesnar?

when did rashad become mike tyson? he has very good head movement, but his striking isn't elite by any stretch of the imagination. for anyone down on davis because of the lil nog fight, i think you have to remember he is a southpaw who was good enough at boxing to compete at an olympic level. thats nothing to scoff at, a southpaw is something thats pretty hard to deal with. davis took that fight on short notice, making fight a southpaw with high level boxing that much more difficult. rashads hands are nowhere near lil nogs...and davis only struggled with him in the 1st rd, after that he pretty much dominated him

i think that the rashad fight is very tough for davis at this point in his career, and i wouldn't be shocked if evans pulled it out...but davis has unlimited potential and if he doesn't beat rashad this time, i'd feel sorry for evans in a rematch a year later

Nobody is saying Evans is Mike Tyson. Rashad does have good striking though and he does own some highlight KO's. Rashad can and will keep this fight on the feet. Davis will get KO'd but you're right down the road Davis can improve his overall game and be a top contender for a long time.

the only ko's i can think of are the headkick of a guy i haven't seen fight since, and chuck and i think we all know what was up with that one...his striking isn't horrible, but i don't think its a big problem for davis. as far as the wrestling goes, you may be right that evans can keep it on the feet. i'm just not sold, i believe evans should have cut to 185 a while ago...he is a pretty small 205, and davis is huge at 205 and has a better wrestling background. on paper he should be able to take evans down, but as i said i'm not sure if he can either

He KO'd Jason Lambert at UFC 63...Sean Salmon at a Fight Night....Chuck UFC 88...Has TKO against Forrest at UFC 92....Those are his only UFC finishes

Rashad is not a "one-punch" knockout artist, but he has some very quick technical boxing with great movement. With his wrestling base, I think it will be very difficult for Davis to keep up with Rashad. Rahsad's striking might even be tad bit underrated by me, because he did rock Rampage, and he knocked down Brad Imes twice in their fight, and that guy is a big HW.

I'm not a fan of Rashad, but I think he's going to take Phil Davis by UD.

evans is going to come out and hit davis just like he did rampage. suga is then going to ground and pound him for the victory.

I don't see a finish either way in this fight, but I do see Evans teaching Phil Davis a thing or two on the feet...Really don't think either fighter will be able to utilize their wrestling...Will be really interested in seeing Rashad's first fight without Greg Jackson
