“The thing about Phil Davis is I really don’t wanna get beat up by a guy in pink tights. He’s long, he’s quick, obviously a great shot, great wrestling, great anaconda choke. I have that to look forward to. What he does is a good job of beating you up from the top, frustrating you, until you come up into him kinda in bad form and that’s when he looks for that anaconda.”

“If you receive a bout agreement and can’t fight you should say something right away. He’s putting a lot of pressure on matchmakers because they’re trying to put on this final card. What are you doing to Zuffa when you’re pulling out and they’re spending weeks on promoting the fight? Now they have to find a replacement fight and he needs to fight. When you think about it he hasn’t fought in six months. So it’s not only about fighting for a title but also from a financial stand point. It’s frustrating. You signed to fight; you signed a bout agreement so let’s fight.” “For Luke, of course he wants to keep his title when he goes over to the UFC,” DeWitt said. “That’s going to be a bargaining chip when he restructures his contract for a UFC contract. I can see why this is a dangerous fight and obviously they don’t want to fight us.”
