UFC officials have confirmed that verbal agreements are in place for Vinny Magalhaes and Phil Davis to fight at UFC 159. The two bantered back and forth on Twitter saying they would take the fight, and the UFC has apparently listened.
The event takes places Saturday, April 27 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. and will be headlined by a title fight between defending light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen.
