Phil Davis is well aware his first fight with Ryan Bader wasn't the most fan-friendly contest.
“Mr. Wonderful,” who’s now the Bellator 205-pound champion, competed against Bader back in January 2015 on the main card of UFC on FOX 14, which took place in Stockholm, Sweden. The light heavyweight match-up ended in a somewhat controversial manner, as Bader defeated Davis via split decision in a lackluster fight. Now, over two years later, the two former UFC light heavyweight contenders will run it back a second time in the headlining slot of Bellator 180 on June 24 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
