UFC Light Heavyweight Phil Davis was last seen in action at UFC 163 in August against Lyoto Machida who he defeated via a unanimous decision. It seems that the NCAA Division I Wrestling Champion and his camp finally have someone whom they want next for Davis and that man is Mauricio "Shogun" Rua.
Rua is coming off of an amazing KO victory over James Te Huna earlier this month at UFC Fight Night 33 in Brisbane Australia. Rua is on his way back up the UFC's Light Heavyweight rankings with his win over Te Huna. The fight makes sense for both men considering where they stand in the division Rua at #6 and Davis at #4. This would be an interesting fight for both men to see who's style is more dominant, Davis's wrestling or Rua's striking. I believe that this is a fight that can and should happen. With Davis's striking beginning to get better he just may be able to stand with Rua long enough to land one of those spectacular takedowns that he has in his arsenal.
