UFC on Fox 2

If he has such good takedown defense then why did Mousasi literally pull his shorts down and fuck him in the ass with wrestling for fifteen minutes?

[MMA_scientist]

Davis would submit OSP in the first round. You guys are pretty damn critical considering he was fighting one of the best guys in the world.

[Vandelay]

Im sure OSP wasnt training tdd against Mousasi, a guy who never uses offensive wrestling. He still managed to stuff mousasi and hit switches midway through the second round. Same reason why BJ was able to take down Fitch. Element of surprise.

Give it up. Phil Davis would spank OSP and Roger. And he and Gustaffson are BFFs now.

[Luke]

That said, and as crappy as his gameplanning is, he could have been given both the Munoz and Weidman fights. Different judging and he would be up for a title shot again.

Bol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What fight were you watching?

[Luke]

Davis doesn't suck. He just he ran into someone that does everything he does better.

Yeah Maia seemed like he did not come in shape for this fight. There was very little grappling in it at all. He gassed from striking. Something odd about that. I could see why he might not want to grapple with Weidman btw.

[Svino]

Let's not rush to call Davis a bust. Evans is a very good fighter and I think Davis still has tons of potential. I thought his striking was improved, but it looks like it still has quite a ways to go. Obviously, he would be helped out immensely if he learned to use his reach and jab effectively.

I believe Maia is simply a fighter who hit his limit. I think guys whose MO is winning by submission are dominant at lower levels, but they have a ceiling. To reach the top, they either have to be able to outstrike a lot of their opponents or dramatically improve their ability to get the fight to the ground, and Maia just hasn't been able to turn that corner.

[Ludo]

It actually seems like Maia isn't even training anymore to be honest. His striking wasn't near as dynamic in this fight as it was against Munoz and his cardio was pure shit this time out. After ten minutes, almost half of that spent in total control of the pace because Weidman tired out, he was even more gassed than the guy who cut 32lbs in 10 days just to make the fight.

Also, as Scientist I think it was pointed it out, Maia was the one refusing to grapple with Weidman and not the other way around. I just don't know what Maia's gameplan was coming in here other than he has totally fallen in love with his hands except he doesn't have the knockouts to show why he might. It's one thing for someone like Josh Koscheck to abandon his dominant grappling game to work striking while he's knocking guys out in the meantime but Maia has one knockout in his entire career, which was in his first pro fight.

I guess I just don't understand what he was doing this whole time to come in with such shitty cardio and a striking attack that seems to have regressed from what it was even six months ago.

I agree that Davis isn't a bust, like I said I feel like he got rushed into the spotlight a little too quickly and just didn't have the time to transition fully by the time he fought someone like Evans. He should still be on fight night cards against the Minotoro's and Rich Franklins for a little bit until he develops an all around game.

Hey Ludo (or anyone else), have you found the footage of the Camozzi vs Jacobi fight anywhere or know if they even released it?

I haven't looked for it, but as far as I know it never got ripped. I don't think most people knew it was on facebook so it might just be lost forever.

Did you see it on FB? I looked for it there when it was supposedly live, but didn't find it.

[Ludo]

I didn't see it, I read somewhere that night that it was on facebook but I could be wrong. I looked around and couldn't find so much as a video for it let alone a download. Shit is a phantom fight.
