big props to phil davis. it was crazy to see a guy that i trained with and saw in the gym everyday for a year fighting in the octagon. he dominated his fight but looked like he had some trouble finishing. i hope he takes some time to train and doesnt rush into his next fight.
the rolles gracie fight was probably the worst performance ive seen in the ufc in a while. i had hopes the gracies could come back but man, his cardio was just terrible. i wonder if it was nerves???
