Can't complain... and don't talk to us about high stakes fight ******** Joe, neither came out of that fight looking good. How in any way does that help them? Haven't fighters realized that simply winning isn't enough. You have to be really willing to try to win not just avoid losing.

I think Davis needs to meet up with Bas Rutten to see how he can mix those punches and kicks. Davis does not throw them with much power. But regardless he needs to switch camps.

Davis needs to be dropped in Thailand with no money or possessions and left there to train striking for like 2 years.

To be fair Bader stuffed like 15 takedowns it's hard to get off much offence when your constantly trying to stop takedowns so he done enough to win for sure.

I think that Diaz only did one promotional shoot for this fight. I am not sure how many times they can show Nick Diaz pacing back and forth.

I disagree ... I think Phil's been training striking with great coaches and great training partners for long enough to understand that he just doesn't have the knack for it ...

You can drop him in Thailand, Bas Rutten's kitchen of Ali's future grave and he's not getting any better as a striker.

What he DOES need to do, is realize this and find a way to force his grappling game even on guys like Bader and Rumble who are strong wrestlers themselves and manage to fend him off for most of the fight.

I felt that once he and Bader did get into some good grappling exchanges you could see that Phil was the better wrestler and we know he's got a better submission game. If he'd have managed to cling to Bader for longer I'm pretty sure he'd have UD'd the **** out of him, instead he resorted to forced and desperate shots once he saw his striking wasn't getting the job done (how a dude as intelligent as he is keeps getting surprised by how inadequate his striking is, is beyond me).

A lot of these wrestlers are insufficient in most other aspects of MMA because they have mechanized their bodies to just "wrestle" their entire lives. Thats why guys like Khabib and Khabilov are so special, they can grapple, go for submissions, put combinations together, have adequate handspeed and kicks.....actually know how to fight off their backs.

If it wasnt 205lbs Bader and Davis would be bums.

@ED He really didn't look terrible but he didn't look good either. If he is trying to make a case for a rematch with Jon Jones he can't just be eeking out boring fights. It's not entirely his fault as Davis has a way to stifle offense. Bader has improved over the years but having a bad fight on the largest platform the UFC has is not the way to get those title shots.

Seriously, Davis is so freaking BOOOORING! 

Like Hardy said, you want to see him be urgent in his fights and want to stop his opponent, but no no Mr. "Wonderful" fail everytime on that account.

Davis didn't perform at 100% huh? Wasn't he sick or something?
