In a matchup of two light heavyweights in need of a victory, Phil Davis (13-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) outworked Glover Teixeira (22-4 MMA, 5-2 UFC) for a unanimous decision victory in the UFC 179 co-main event. Davis extended his record to a perfect 3-0 when fighting in Brazil as he utilized his superior wrestling skills to grind Teixeira down over three rounds for the win at Rio de Janeiro’s Maracanazinho Gymnasium. After he suffered a lopsided loss to Anthony Johnson in April, Davis rebounded with a strong showing against Teixeira to stay relevant at 205 pounds
