Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweights Anthony Johnson and Phil Davis went to war in the pay-per-view (PPV) co-main event of UFC 172 from Baltimore Arena in Baltimore, Maryland.
Phil Davis spewed a lot of hype heading his co-main event bout against a rejuvenated Anthony Johnson at UFC 172. However, it was "Rumble" who had the last laugh in a fight that wasn't all that close.
"Rumble" was making his awaited return to UFC after he missed weight three times attempting to make both welterweight and middleweight. Johnson had won his last six mixed martial arts (MMA) bouts in smaller promotions like World Series of Fighting (WSOF) and Titan FC, scoring four knockout finishes in that span.
No. 4-ranked Davis was last seen winning a controversial decision over current UFC middleweight title challenger Lyoto Machida. After talking a ton of trash about light heavyweight champion Jon Jones heading into this bout. "Mr. Wonderful" was looking to prove he deserved a shot at "Bones."
He may have been looking past "Rumble" just a bit, as Davis ended up losing a rather dominant decision to a seemingly re-invented Johnson.
