Phil Davis: “Give (First Title Shot) to Hendo”

News

Phil Davis is very confident going into his UFC on Fox 2 battle with former UFC Light Heavyweight champion Rashad Evans. He’s so at ease with his current situation that he even went as far as to recommend UFC offer the next title shot to former Strikeforce Light Heavyweight champ Dan Henderson.

“Give it to Hendo. I ain’t losing. Give it to Hendo. I don’t care either way. You can give it to Hendo and there will still be a belt when I get there. There will still be a belt when I get there. I don’t care who the person is that has the belt but there will be a belt when I get to it and that’s all that I’m concerned about. If somebody else gets to fight the champ before I do, that’s fine with me.”

— He may be confident, but undefeated UFC light heavyweight Phil Davis has no problem waiting in line for a title shot.
