If Round 1 is the war of words, Phil Davis leads 10-8 over Rashad Evans

I clicked on this article strictly for the purposes of making the following comment: I like to watch MMA because I'm intrigued by style matchups in the cage. I do not care what either party says outside of it. No one has ever been knocked out by a fierce combination... of words.

evans seemed really nit-picky!

Shows how much shooting you're mouth off matters.

Bones will bust Rashad like a grape

Let's see:

Davis was a collegiate wrestler at Penn State, finishing in 5th place nationally in the 197 lb weight class as a junior in 2007 [3] and then winning the (197 lbs) NCAA title in 2008. He finished with an overall wrestling record of 116–17 while at Penn State and was a four-time NCAA Division I All-American.

Evans was a collegiate wrestler Michigan State University, competing in the 174 lb (79 kg) weight class. He started at Michigan State for three years and amassed a 48–34 record during that time.

Really? Rashad??? You shouldn't attempt to talk smack about wrestling with Davis...

talk is cheep...look at Sonnen. He looks sounds like/acts like a Pro Wrestling monkey

For all of you that haven't figured it out yet, OGNutcracker is a shared account used by Maggie Hendricks and Steve Cofield. Post, post, post... Get the comment section hits up, then add even more hits from people responding to crazy OG comments. If you write a blog, and you're your worst critic, then who cares what anyone else says. We're all just feeding their pocketbooks and playing into their hands.

Well said Aaron, i was coming here to do the same i couldn't agree more!!

"You don't punch nobody hard" Double negative, so he punch somebody hard

Rashad lost me when he said Davis fights for a paycheck and Rashad fights because he loves it. If Rashad loved fighting, he'd have taken a fight or two while Shogun was hurt and not stagnated on the bench for a year to get his title shot. It amused me to no end to see him get hurt and lose his title shot to Jon Jones who will hold the title for as long as he wants.

Evans got him, Davis never had any quick comebacks he just kept on saying Evans is on drugs

"For the most part, I've got nothing against Phil, but you we've got a fight so I've got a lot against him right now."

evans is coming for bones.

He does look like Arsenio...that was funny. ---- I don't care much who wins, I just want them to fight. I don't want to see who the better wrestler is. Let's see who the better kickboxer or Jitz guy is, then I will be entertained.

I'm rooting for Davis in this fight. He's young and can be considered inexperienced when compared to Evans, but I think youth will be a factor here. Davis wins by UD. He'll control the distance on stand-up. If it goes to the ground he'll control Evans there too. Davis will do enough to get points and get the win. Slight chance he wins by submission. Evans is going to come out to aggressive in an attempt to throw off Davis but it won't work. Davis will do what he did in the Lil Nog fight. Control the pace throughout. Go Davis!

Neither of these guys deserves a shot against Jones. Give it to Hendo, he's earned it.

for somebody that talks so much trash Evans sucks at it! Lol Its painful listening to him repeat the same thing over and over. You would think with that big a head of his he would have enough vocab to come up with a snappy comment from time to time.

davis is going to win

Rashad looks all bloated just like Rumble. They are 100% on the same PED's over there at the Blackzillian camp. At least Rashad is a little professional and makes weight.

Sounds more like two women bickering.
