Former UFC light heavyweight and current Bellator MMA fighter Phil Davis discusses his recent Dynamite Tournament win. <\/p>\n

Davis was one of four fighters in the one-night tournament. Davis took out former champ Emanuel Newton in the first fight, advancing to the final. In the other first round fight, \u2018King Mo\u2019 Lawal came out on top. So, Davis knew he would be fighting Lawal in the night\u2019s co-main event. That is, until a last-minute change occurred.<\/p>\n

Mo suffered a rib injury in his first fight and after weighting a while to see if he could go, decided he wouldn\u2019t be able to. Davis was told that it would then be Mo\u2019s opponent Linton Vassell, he told BJPENN.COM\u2019s Layzie The Savage. However, due to Vassell not being cleared to fight a second time, the alternate was then announced as Davis\u2019 opponent.<\/p>\n

Davis said it definitely caused him to panic a little bit, but was fine when it was all squared away.<\/p>\n

You can check out the full interview below and see what he had to say about his upcoming title fight, being in Bellator and other topics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
