QUICK TWITT: Pros React To Phil Davis’ Dominant Win Over Glover Teixeira
Last night in the co-main event of UFC 179, Phil Davis shocked many as he dominated Glover Teixeira with elite level wrestling skills throughout 3 rounds to earn the unanimous decision win.
Davis was 3-0 when fighting Brazilian fighters in Brazil, and with his win over Glover last night, he extended that streak to 4-0, giving him further credibility at ‘The Brazilian Killer’.
UFC pros took to Twitter to react to Davis’ dominant win.

Feel like I'm watching Davis in his college wrestling days. The same exact top control. Just gotta add in a few cradles now. #UFC179

I wonder if they will give Phil Davis +1 point for riding time. And 2 near fall for that cradle?
