Phil Davis is now with Bellator after nearly 5 years with the UFC. What's the biggest takeaway from this signing? The Bloody Elbow roundtable debates.
In case you've been out of the loop, Phil Davis is now with Bellator, having used his free agent status to hop over to the Viacom-owned promotion last week. The UFC chose not to match Bellator's offer, which means that a long-time top 10 light heavyweight who has headlined or co-headlined numerous UFC shows is now elsewhere. Davis becomes the latest top 10 fighter to leave the UFC, but unlike Jake Shields, Jon Fitch, and Yushin Okami, he left as a free agent as opposed to being released outright.
