Is Phil Davis the best current UFC fighter to never have had a title shot?

[jjresq]

For Someone who has been in the Ufc as long as he did yes

 

[jjresq]

dude you're a hater. glover embarassed rampage and that's an impressive win. and he's on an 18 fight win streak. chill on this rankings nonsense.

Glover did not embarrass Rampage

 

[MartyMcFry]

He'll get one I hope. I think he's the other guy outside of the Jones, Gus and Glover triangle.

 

[djacobox372]

On paper yes, he is.

But everybody knows he clearly lost against Machida, and the lil-nog fight was a non-event, just a lot Davis running away on the feet and scoring a few takedowns that led to zero offense.

Not to mention is one official loss was a complete domination at his own game by rashad.

Glover is better, and I would also argue that Lil-Nog is now better and would beat Davis these days since he's worked on this TDD a ton since they last fought.

So you can count win over X fighter that was not a top 10 fighter then as a top 10 win?

Answer: No you cant, the fighters rank at the time he beat him should count, gus does not count as a top 10 win, machida.... ha!

Davis and Lamas

 

[Dart Feld]

Possibly but it's not like he hasn't had a shot at earning one though. He would have gotten a title shot if he had beaten Rashad but we saw how that went.

 

[lockon]

TJ Grant, but he keeps on getting injured when he gets the TS

 

[rm95]

Just curious, how did you score Shogun/Machida I?

49-46 Shogun. There was a couple rounds that could have gone either way though. Was a robbery but not as bad as it is made out to be.

I welcome challenging match making, so ive got no qualms about Davis being matched with Rashad. But Gus got old knees Shogun and Glover got Bader. Bader. :icon_lol:

Machida and Davis get matched up...and Davis still gets boyed up, even after the UD.

I got nothing against Lyoto, and frankly whoever edged that fight was the real #1 for me.

I call shennanigans.
