On January 24 light-heavyweight contenders Ryan Bader and Phil Davis will go to war on the main card of UFC on Fox 14 in front of an anticipated 40,000 fans at the Tele2 Arena in Stockholm, Sweden.
Currently on a 3-fight win streak, #7 ranked ‘Darth’ Bader (18-4) aims to make it four in a row and thrust himself back towards a shot at the UFC light-heavyweight championship with victory over #6 ranked Phil Davis (13-2-1NC).
Having finally recovered from a long term hand injury, Bader explained how he was forced to hide the issue and considerably ration the amount of punches thrown with his right hand when dispatching of Ovince St. Preux via unanimous decision last August. Now, the Arizona State wrestling standout and Ultimate Fighter Season 8 winner is excited to once again be competing with a right hand that boasts full potential, and takes huge confidence into this fight with Phil Davis, having already bested a notable opponent with limit tools.
