Like Rashad Evans, his striking will be the last part of the puzzle and it will evolve over time; working with Lloyd Irvin and the team at Alliance MMA in San Diego will certainly pay dividends in that regard. The reason I think Davis has a higher ceiling than Evans is two-fold:

1. Evans was a very good wrestler coming out of MSU and into the UFC. Davis is better at this stage than Evans was.
2. Humility; Davis was in awe of this experience all week and being humble and appreciative of the opportunity before him will serve him well. I love Rashad, but he seems to be falling in love with being a star.

And for the record, Jon Jones would smash Phil Davis to bits right now, regardless of what Rogan and Goldie think. Jones is light years ahead of Davis...

8. Rolles Gracie: EPIC FAIL

Man, that was brutal.

While I am not a fighter and have never had to get into "fighting shape," yet alone "shape" in my life, how a man who makes his living competing in cage fights can enter a bout in the biggest organization in the business in such poor condition is beyond me.

You want failures from UFC 109, forget Nate Marquardt and Mike Swick; Rolles Gracie is your man. With the vaunted history of the Gracie family on his shoulders (fairly or not), Rolles fell as flat as humanly possibly, literally, ending the fight spread across the canvas with Joey Beltran raining down blows.

Kudos to "The Mexicutioner" for performing so well on short notice. I look forward to his next opportunity. Rolles Gracie shouldn't get one.

9. Maggie Hendricks Meltdown on Twitter

I tweet while I watch fights. If you're a Twitter user, follow me at @ESpencerKyte. Yes, I'm plugging myself. Deal with it.

Anyway, following the Thiago choking of Mike Swick, Yahoo! Cagewriter Maggie Hendricks tweeted that the score was now "Paulo Thiago 2, AKA 0." She had forgotten about Jon Fitch, and everyone who follows her tweets let her know about it.

In response to what was surely a flood of "What about Jon Fitch?" replies, some which were probably much more colorful, Hendricks unleashed an "I wish I was perfect like the rest of you!" response that was the Twitter equivalent of a child taking their ball and going home. Yes, the reaction of the masses was probably a serious pain in the ass and overkill, but here's the thing, Ms. Hendricks:

You're in a position that thousands of aspiring cagewriters want to be in, so when we can recall the results and you make a mistake in a public setting, it frustrates the bejesus out of us. I don't get paid a cent and have to be able to take criticism from cloak-and-dagger commentors who think I should quit writing, so someone with as influential a platform as you have must accept that criticism will come fast and furious when you make a mistake, especially on a medium designed for fast and furious usage.

10. Regretting Those Anderson Silva Comparisons Yet, Dana?

Remember when Phillipe...
