RIO DE JANEIRO – Phil Davis’ best shot against Lyoto Machida probably came via takedowns. He got a pair at the ends of the first and second rounds, and that may have been enough to tip the scales in his favor. Machida stuffed many of Davis’ takedowns – with the exception of the two that came late in the first and second. But it wasn’t enough to get the judges’ nod in his home country as Davis took the upset with a trio of 29-28 scores. The light heavyweight bout co-headlined today’s UFC 163 event at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena
