Liam McGeary says ‘boring’ Phil Davis is a competitor, not a fighter: ‘There’s a difference’
Liam McGeary waited 14 long months between his triumph over Tito Ortiz and his Nov. 2016 fight against Phil Davis. That’s an eternity for a man who likes to fight as often as possible, and for the former Bellator light heavyweight champion, who dropped his belt in an uneventful contest against Davis at Bellator 163, the performance left McGeary wanting for all of the wrong reasons.
“Look, I’m glad I got a cut over my head, right, because if I’d have lost my belt and I didn’t have a scratch on my face, I’ll have been a little bit pissed off,” McGeary told MMA Fighting ahead of his main event tilt against Brett McDermott on Friday at Bellator 173.
