UFC light heavyweight Phil Davis hopes to finish former titleholder Lyoto Machida at UFC 163 and move next in line to fight for the 205-pound championship. Davis (11-1, 1 no contest) is ranked seventh in the official UFC Fighter Rankings . Machida (19-3) is considered the top contender in the division. A win over the former champion would shoot Davis up the rankings, but he doesn’t put much stock in fighter rankings. “I don’t really know where I fit in the whole title contention picture. I don’t really go by the rankings. I looked at the rankings once. I was disappointed, so I never looked at them again, and I just kind of go fight by fight,” said Davis during a recent media conference call. “I won my last fight. I really want to get a finish
