Mike Davis and Mason Jones may have set a new bar for this week’s trio of UFC events.
Four days after Max Holloway’s memorable (if one-sided) main event scrap with Calvin Kattar, lightweights Davis and Jones stole the show on the UFC Fight Island 8 preliminaries Wednesday as they went back-and-forth for three action-packed rounds.
Davis emerged with the split decision victory, winning his second straight fight and handing Jones his first career defeat. Jones comes from the Cage Warriors promotion, where he won titles at 155 and 170 pounds.
