After suffering the first loss of his career at July’s Dana White’s Contender Series 14, Mike Davis (6-1) rebounded in spectacular fashion, dominating late replacement Elvin Brito (9-8) en route to a third-round stoppage. The bout served as the main event of Friday’s Island Fights 51 event, which streamed on UFC Fight Pass from Pensacola Bay Center in Pensacola, Fla. Brito was the busier man to start, firing off kick after kick while shifting laterally on the outside. Davis was more patient from the center, seemingly studying his opponent and picking the right moments to attack. The approach paid off with an early knockdown, and while Brito got quickly back to his feet, it was clear Davis was the stronger man with his strikes
