Bellator 209 was not a wonderful experience for Phil Davis. He was a sizable favorite against Vadim Nemkov, but after three closely contested rounds, he wound up on the wrong side of a split decision. When looking back on how the fight unfolded, Davis does not hold any will towards the judges who scored it. Instead, he places the blame squarely on himself for not making better use of his best skill: grappling.
“I had a feeling he was pretty good on the ground,” Davis told Sherdog.
