Bellator 154's Phil Davis: 'I'm not cocky, definitely confident' ahead of King Mo fight

Bellator 154: "Davis vs. King Mo" will take place this Saturday night (May 14, 2016) at SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., where "Mr. Wonderful" Phil Davis will put his No. 1 contender status on the line against Muhammad "King Mo" Lawal. The winner will face 205-pound champion Liam McGeary sometime later this year.

Davis won the Bellator 142: "Dynamite 1" tournament in Sept. 2015, but he faced Francis Carmont instead of Lawal, who had to withdraw from the tournament finals because of a rib injury suffered earlier that night. In other words, Bellator 154's main event gives fight fans the match that should have happened at the exact same venue in the same city about nine months ago.
