The UFC continues to stack up its card for its January event in Sweden, announcing that Phil Davis will take on fellow light heavyweight Ryan Bader in the main card.
Davis currently holds a 13-2 record in MMA, with one no-contest, having recovered from his one-sided loss to Anthony Johnson with a victory over Glover Teixeira at UFC 179 in Brazil, according to Bloody Elbow. The light heavyweight is also known for being the only man to finish Alexander Gustafsson, having beaten him with an anaconda choke submission four years ago. His last four victories were obtained over Brazilians, and three of them were obtained in Brazil.
Bader, who holds an 8-4 record, is recovering from his loss to Teixiera in 2013, having won his last three fights via decision over Anthony Perosh, Rafael Cavalcante and Ovince St. Preux.
The most recent USA Today Sports/MMAjunkie MMA light-heavyweight rankings have listed Davis at No. 6 and Bader at No. 8, MMAjunkie reported.
