Peter Davis has consistently put on the best performances of his career at ONE FC events in his native Kuala Lumpur. He stopped Kim Hock with a spinning back kick followed by knees and punches, burst Kim Hock’s face open with a brutal upkick, and submitted Alaa Mazloum in the second round of a thrilling back-and-forth war. Losses to Ariel Sexton and Eddie Ng mean that the 32-year-old Malaysian is unlikely to ever mount a serious challenge for the ONE FC lightweight title, but he is an entertaining and unorthodox fighter who is seemingly guaranteed a spot on the card every time Asia’s biggest MMA promotion comes to Kuala Lumpur. At ONE FC: War of Nations , Davis will be looking to continue providing thrills for the Malaysian fans when he takes on Waqar Umar. He had initially been scheduled to face Wes Jaya, but an injury to the Muay Thai veteran put paid to that match-up. Umar hails from Pakistan and is 3-0 in professional MMA, but Davis admits he is not entirely sure what to expect from an opponent who stepped in as a late replacement. “I don’t know much about Waqar apart from the fact he has three sub victories and that he looks good against some of the most seasoned fighters in Pakistan. The Pakistani fighters usually have solid Kung Fu backgrounds and wrestling bases, so I’m going to have to be wary of his takedowns, or go with them and look to finish him with some slicker ground game
