The fighters are weighed in and we're set for another stellar card to kick off 2015.

Hoping for Davis to win. I am not really a fan of Bader, unless he decides to change his nickname to "Master"

How is it davis has all these wrestling accomplishments yet shows what looks like mediocre wrestling compared to where people think he should be. I believe I heard he was more of a defensive grinding wrestler than a explosive takedown artist. Anyone have any info on this?

For someone who claims to know so much about fighting, you'd think Rogan would realize that narrow stance is what gives Bader so much power. He keeps talking about the narrow stance, he keeps bringing up the power, but he can't seem to put two and two together...

Davis throws a good straight from time to time. But for the most part his hands are weak. C'mon, dog. I thought you were the best grappler the UFC has ever seen at 205 lbs? Show us.

@ProDrug more so the issue is that Davis works really well from finishing on the mat and inside wrestling but his coaches have developed a striking style dependent on keeping range and outside lateral movement, which doesn't really benefit his style of wrestling.
