Rashad Evans vs Phil Davies set for UFC on FOX 2

[gabe]

Can't wait for this fight. Gonna be sad to see Evans vs Jones not happen, though. Davis is gonna handle this.

*edit*
lol i just realized i called him Davies in the subject, my bad. ("Adam Davies' office!")

Still like Evans over Davis until Phil improves his standup. The ground game will be a wash... even Lil Nog did surprisingly stuffing Davis' takedowns. I'm guessing the lines will open similar to what they were at for the originally scheduled bout.

disagree with chadwick, i think rashad will be closer to -150, if not -200, opposed to the original even line.

[sirchadwick1]

My post wasn't really clear sorry... what I meant was that I think the lines will open at what they were sitting at before the fight was called off last time (not the opening at evens). So yeah, Rashad around -150 sounds about right. If Phil ends up at +150 though I think he's worth taking a shot on.

Should be a great fight.

Evens should be able to keep fight standing and will will be looking to land a few heavy shots as usual.

[Educ8d Degener8]

Hopefully, Mr. Wonderful has improved on his stiff and mechanical striking, as that has appeared to be his only notable flaw in his game thus far... Given the time since his last fight and his propensity to improve from fight to fight, I'm really looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

[Pratik]

Can't wait finally get to go to an event with Evans. Evans should have this much quicker and more experienced.

[caveira]

Evans will keep the fight standing or even TD Davis. He is the last hope against Jones, if he can't defeat him, nobody else (in LHW) can.
