5K Exclusive: LC Davis won't leave it up to the judges
by Natalia Baage on March 05, 2010
I'm in really good shape. I'm right on schedule as far as my strength and conditioning. Everything's been going good.

FiveKnuckles.com: And what are your thoughts on your upcoming fight?

LC Davis: I'm expecting it to be a war. I think Deividas Taurosevicius is a really tough guy. He's really similar to me. We have a similar approach to fighting, similar styles. We both are decent strikers, decent standing up. I think he likes to strike to set up his wrestling, and take them down, using some ground and pound. And that's kinda the same approach that I have. I think it's gonna be a chess match to see who's better at that style. But I see it as a really tough fight. Deividas has never been finished. So I'm looking to be the first guy to finish him, but I really see the fight going on three rounds. And I see we'll beat each other up. So I think it'll be an exciting fight for the fans.

FiveKnuckles.com: Have you ever thought about changing your weight division, or are you comfortable at 145?

LC Davis: I fought a lot at 155 at the beginning of my career because there wasn't a lot of 145-pound opportunities and fights out there. Now, the WEC has really put 145 on the map. There's plenty of fights out there at 145. This is the weight I'm most comfortable fighting at. So, yeah, I plan on staying at 145.

FiveKnuckles.com: What will it mean to you if you get the featherweight belt somewhere down the line?

LC Davis: It'd mean the world to me. It'd be the accomplishment of a lifetime. My dream since I started fighting is to be the best in the world; be the best in my division. So I think that the person that holds the belt in the WEC at 145 is the best in the world at that weight. And right now, that's Jose Aldo. Hopefully, one day, it'll be me. If I am able to accomplish it, it'll be an accomplishment of a lifetime. A dream come true.

FiveKnuckles.com: Jose Aldo is up next against Urijah Faber. How do you see that one going?

LC Davis: I see that being a really exciting fight. I think Urijah Faber will definitely have the edge on wrestling. But I think Aldo is just really dangerous and has a lot of explosive ways of ending fights. And I think he'll end up holding on to the belt and still be a champ after that fight.

FiveKnuckles.com: What have you been training for most in order to win your upcoming fight?

LC Davis: Right now, for this fight, I just have to train in everything. I have to be really well-rounded because my opponent is strong everywhere. I don't really think he's great at one particular aspect, but he's really good at everything. So I've been working on all aspects of mixed martial arts. I've been working my jiu-jitsu, my wrestling, my striking. I've really been pushing my strength and conditioning hard because Deividas is a really strong well-conditioned athlete. So I've been working all aspects of my game so I can go out there and win wherever the fight goes.
