ST814: Phil Davis Bellator 186

The ST814cast

Former 4-time Penn State Wrestling All-American turned professional MMA fighter Phil 'Mr. Wonderful' Davis joins the ST814cast. Chris Law is joined by an old pal and NCAA National Champion wrestler for the Nittany Lions at 197 Lbs, Phil Davis, who returns to compete in Happy Valley this weekend for his upcoming Bellator 186 fight at the Bryce Jordan Center on Friday, November 3rd. Davis discusses his journey and career at Penn State before getting into the details of how he made the transition from mixed martial arts fan and spectator, to competing in the octagon himself at the highest levels of the sport. How much did Phil Davis get paid for that first UFC fight? Which discipline of MMA has he found most challenging? How does his family take in the fights? What would he have done differently when he lost the Light Heavyweight Title to Ryan Bader in his last fight? Law and Davis discuss all of it as well as some trips down memory lane from their time at PSU together and more. Be sure to tune into Spike TV Friday at 9pm ET to watch Phil Davis and fellow former Penn State NCAA Wrestling Champion Ed Ruth as the pair return home to Happy Valley for their respective bouts in the octagon.

For The Glory,

Law
