Don't think Phil made any fans with that fight, nor rumble Johnson for that matter. Think Phil Davis made things even worse when he started talking about how he was "falling apart during training".
I agree. I thought Davis looked decidedly shaky in the first round and very tentative when he got Nogueira to the ground.
I feel for Dan Hardy. I like him and it was unfortunate for him to be laid on for the entire fight. That is 3 losses in a row now. I hope the UFC give him another chance. With the exception of a few fighters it does highlight the poor wrestling skills of us Brits; something I think we need to work on.
I thought both the 135 pounders looked good too. You have to love those weight classes. Non stop action. Far better than two big bellied blokes getting gassed after the first round and hugging for 10 minutes.
