Sherdog Pick’Em Trends: UFC on Fox 2 Main Card

If the participants in the Sherdog.com MMA Pick’Em fantasy game are to be believed, then Rashad Evans will most definitely have his day against Jon Jones. A solid 76 percent of players have sided with Evans against Phil Davis in the UFC on Fox 2 main event on Saturday at the United Center in Chicago.

Evans beat Forrest Griffin for the light heavyweight championship in 2008 but lost the belt in his first defense to Lyoto Machida at UFC 98. Since then, “Suga” has picked up wins over Thiago Silva, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Tito Ortiz. Twice tabbed as the division’s No. 1 contender, injuries have halted the Imperial Athletics representative’s title hopes until now, as a victory over Davis would give Evans his long-awaited showdown with Jones, the current 205-pound king.

Veteran manager Alex Davis warns of fighting perils associated with MMA success

On the night of Jan. 14, it was nearly impossible to wipe the smile off Alex Davis' face.

The veteran manager watched with joy as his clients each picked up wins at UFC 142.

For Edson Barboza, the night was exceedingly special, as the 26-year-old was rewarded with two "Fight Night" honors and $130,000. Davis believes Barboza's grounded roots have him prepared to deal with the attention that will soon come, but the veteran manager warns that not everyone is ready to handle what comes after special moments in the octagon.
