The Big Body Breakdown: UFC on FOX – Evans vs. Davis

an style=”color: #ff0000;”>Phil Davis - He came in this fight with a game plan that just wasn’t good enough against Rashad Evans. Davis looked completely unprepared for the veteran and his timing, not to mention his inability to keep his feet under him and nearly gassing out by the second round. Very unusual for Davis to look so gassed, seeing as how most of his wins have all come by grinding fighters out and wearing them down with wrestling. Even with a better game plan, Davis is still very raw as a fighter and needs to understand the fundamentals of stand up better. He will also need to  understand how to transition his wrestling to more of an MMA style of wrestling like Rashad Evans or even a Gray Maynard and Frankie Edgar type, where he can constantly change levels to catch his opponent off balance. What's next for Phil Davis, hopefully more training, but afterwards maybe a fight with Vladimir Matyushenko would do his career some good.

Michael Bisping - I can't exactly bash Bisping because everyone tries to make him out to be worse than he is in the octagon because of his personality, but the truth is Bisping is one of the sharpest fighters out there. His wrestling defense and stand up are fairly impressive but the biggest problems are that he cannot fight well against people coming forward too quickly and he starts his fights relatively slowly. Those qualities are what plagued him in this fight against Sonnen, but still managed to impress to the point that the judges’ decision could have gone either way. That said, after re-watching this fight, you can see why Sonnen won. What's next for Bisping, like Weidman, I say he will face either Palhares or Munoz next.

Demian Maia - Since his title fight with Anderson Silva and being knocked into a backflip by Nate Marquardt Maia doesn't seem to have that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu killer instinct that he had when he first stepped into the octagon. Demian Maia was dispatched by Weidman in a very slow and methodical manner and never really got anything going against the young prospect during the match. Maia has fallen off fairly hard and I suspect the next move for him would be to fight the popular choice (by me) Palhares.
