Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Mike Davis is an thrilling Light-weight prospect.
“Beast Boy” has gained his final 4 fights, stopping two opponents and dominating the opposite two. His solely loss got here through short-notice debut to Gilbert Burns, and he holds a powerful 82% end charge general. Why then hasn’t Davis superior up the ladder or constructed any critical momentum?
Largely, it’s been exercise. 5 fights in six years on the UFC roster just isn’t a powerful charge. Davis admitted as a lot and aimed to battle extra typically, which resulted in a extra high-profile Light-weight reserving versus fellow motion fighter Drew Dober at UFC Denver on July 13, 2024.
Sadly, that chance has fallen aside. Within the video above, Davis shares how he torn his bicep coaching wrestling. It appears pretty innocuous as Davis goals to scramble to his toes, however the loud crunch sound is a transparent indication in any other case.
“Journal entry: June 16, 2024,” Davis adopted up. “This kills me man … Fully tore my bicep throughout my sparring rounds on Tuesday. June eleventh. Leading to 3.5in retraction in my bicep.
Sure, I would like surgical procedure. They should reattach the tendon by drilling it again into the bone.”
Probably, it will likely be a minimum of a pair months earlier than Davis is ready to get again to martial arts coaching. Right here’s hoping he recovers shortly, and that UFC is ready to find a alternative opponent for Dober.
