Phil Davis worried about the judges in Brazil
Phil Davis: “Do I worry about the judges? Absolutely I worry about the judges. Is it gonna be a fair fight? No it’s not going to be a fair fight.”
UFC light heavyweight Phil Davis appeared recently on Submission Radio, ahead of his fight with Brazilian Glover Teixeira at UFC 179 on October 25, 2014 at Ginásio do Maracanãzinho in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Davis expressed the concern that judges may be biased against him.
“I think it’s a great match up,” said Davis as transcribed by Karim Zidan for BE. “He’s obviously Brazilian, the fans seem really like me down in Brazil after I’m done fighting. So you know, it should work out well. Another trip down to Brazil, another chance to have an awesome performance down there. The fans down there are absolutely fanatical about MMA so I’m just excited about the match up, the venue, the fight, co-main, everything. Should be a great opportunity to put myself back in the title hunt.”
“Do I worry about the judges? Absolutely I worry about the judges. Is it gonna be a fair fight? No it’s not going to be a fair fight. Do I expect it to be, you know uneven? Absolutely.”
“But, you known at some point I gotta give these guys a little bit of credit because they come over to America and they fight, and you very seldom hear them complain.
“Now having said that, yeah there’s a little bit of a home field advantage and I acknowledge that, but at the same time I’m ready to scrap.”
P.S. Dear MMA, get on Submission Radio it is awesome.
