"Mr. Wonderful" Phil Davis (8-0) is confirmed to go for his first main event appearance against the Brazilian Light Heavyweight Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (19-4) at UFC Fight Night in Seattle this coming March 26, 2011. The still undefeated Light Heavyweight star was initially set to face Matt Hamill for the main card of UFC 129 but then agreed to replace the veteran Tito Ortiz for the spot who was reportedly forced to withdraw due to a found training injury.
A very promising young fighter establishing an out of the ordinary UFC career hype with 4 UFC winning streak since he debuted. His diversed style of fighting will be put to a test as he will try to augment his swelling reputation by defeating Li'l Nog. The Brazilian in return, coming from a lost from Ryan Bader at UFC 119 last September, will never make this easy as well for the young fighter.
Davis' UFC shoot up has arguably made this match more interesting and exciting than the former Ortiz-Nogueira bout. While MMA fans are all too excited to see the Shogun-Jones Light Heavyweight championship match on March 19, this is something that will add to the excitement. A back to back marvelous bouts are expected to show this month.
