- Hot prospect Phil Davis (6-0) remained undefeated, beating Alexander Gustafsson (9-1) via anaconda choke submission at 4:55 of the first round.

From ESPN.co.uk

Phil Davis produced his second impressive performance since joining the UFC, submitting Alexander Gustafsson with five seconds remaining in round one of their light-heavyweight contest. Defeat was the first of Gustafsson’s career, while Davis improves to 6-0.

As expected, Davis went in search of the takedown to nullify the striking of Gustafsson, and the second time the Swede hit the deck proved to be the last. Davis transitioned from an arm triangle to an anaconda choke to force the tap at 4.55 of round one.

Aaron Anspach considers Phil Davis one of his best friends.

They talk about once a week, and when Davis returns to Happy Valley, he bunks at Anspach’s place. Though Anspach considers himself Davis’ good friend, the former Nittany Lion heavyweight may not watch his former Penn State teammate’s second Ultimate Fighting Championship bout, against Alexander Gustafsson in UFC 112, this Saturday.

It’s not that their friendship has met a bitter end.

Rather, the problem is one out of Anspach’s control — Davis’ fight is an undercard event and may not be featured on the pay-per-view program.

The Danville Daily Item

Phil Davis will step back inside the cage Saturday night in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, for his second fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Davis, a Harrisburg native and a national wrestling champion at Penn State in 2008, is 5-0 as a mixed martial arts fighter. He signed with the UFC late last year and then defeated Scranton’s Brian Stann by unanimous decision at UFC 109 in February.

Now Davis is ready for his second fight in the world’s top MMA league. On Saturday, at UFC 112, he’ll meet Sweden’s Alexander Gustafsson in a light-heavyweight battle. Gustafsson, who, at 6-foot-5, is three inches taller than Davis and is also unbeaten at 9-0.

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates – The thought that crosses your mind upon seeing Phil Davis for the first time is that it has to be a miserable experience for the guy to buy a suit.

No way he walks into Men’s Warehouse, buys a suit off the rack and runs home with it.

“It’s horrible, man; just horrible,” Davis says. “My neck is thick, my arms are long, my waist is skinny. Nothing’s right.”

Don’t feel badly for Davis, however; it won’t be long before the four-time All-American wrestler from Penn State will be able to afford the finest suits – and the finest tailors to make them fit perfectly.

With a collegiate wrestling championship in his background, an unbeaten professional record and a nickname of “Mr. Wonderful,” it’s no wonder that Phil Davis entered the UFC surrounded by great expectations.

Suffice it to say, in his first octagon test at UFC 109, the former Penn State All-American passed with flying colors, dominating former WEC light-heayvweight champion Brian Stann in a unanimous decision victory.
