Mike Davis will not be competing at UFC on ESPN 59 in Denver as originally anticipated.
The 31-year-old former Dana White's Contender Series competitor revealed via Instagram that he suffered a torn bicep during sparring earlier this month. As a result, “Beast Boy” will no longer face Drew Dober in their proposed lightweight bout on July 13. It’s unclear if Dober will remain on the card against a replacement opponent.
“Yes, I need surgery. They have to reattach the tendon by drilling it back into the bone,” Davis wrote.
