Things get heated between headliners at UFC on FOX 2 press conference

When the group of featured fighters set for action at UFC on FOX 2 got together this afternoon as part of a pre-event press conference it seemed likely any sort of significant verbal warfare would be waged between middleweights Michael Bisping and Chael Sonnen. However, as things unfolded from the stage it was in fact headliners Rashad Evans and Phil Davis who exchanged insults throughout.

One of the main sources of contention had to do with Evans’ claim that he was a better wrestler than Davis, a decorated amateur with a ton of NCAA success to his credit.

“Cocaine’s a helluva drug,” Davis joked to media while referring to an infamous sketch involving Rick James on The Chappelle Show. “It’s crazy what the kids do now days. I encourage imagination, and it’s good that he has that, but….no, no…he’ll never beat me in wrestling. Not thumb wrestling or anything of the sort.”

Davis Says Evans Isn’t as Good as he Thinks he Is

Evans quickly quipped that Davis’ technique was garbage and his success in college had to do with weak competition more so than his own talent.

“You have trash technique. I’ve watched the way you move. I watched you wrestle in college and it was trash,” Evans fired back.
