Rolls in return from long layoff
LightweightUFC
Out
March 16, 2024
Davis defeated Natan Levy via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 1:43 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Literally the only negative thing you can say about Davis these days is that he rarely fights. He cruised past Levy here without breaking a sweat despite the fact the latter missed weight by half a pound Friday morning. Davis was submitted by Gilbert Burns in his UFC debut back in April 2019. Since then, he has fought four times, all victories. Prior to this fight against Levy, the last time he stepped into the Octagon was October 2022. That makes this performance all the more impressive. To roll through a guy after not being in there for a year and a half is something else. Assuming Davis can get back in the Octagon sooner rather than later, the company needs to give him a top-15 opponent to see what it has here.
Finally scheduled for fight

January 23, 2024
Davis is scheduled to compete against Natan Levy in a lightweight fight at UFC Fight Night 239 in Las Vegas on March 16, according to Aaron Bronsteter of TSN.ca.
ANALYSIS
This is Davis' first fight scheduled since 2024. He sat out all of 2023, just like Levy did, but for various reasons. Davis did not have any fights scheduled that year, while Levy was scheduled for three but saw all of the bouts canceled. Both will look to continue their winning ways from 2022 though.
Easy win following long layoff
LightweightUFC
Out
October 1, 2022
Davis defeated Slava Borshchev via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Davis looks the part of a quality lightweight and this bout was no exception. Fighting for the first time since January 2021, Davis dominated Borshchev for 15 minutes. He spent virtually the entire bout leaning on his wrestling. He connected on 9-of-11 takedowns, good for 8:02 worth of control time. Round 1 could have easily been a 10-8 in Davis' favor and it's difficult to see what the one judge which scored a frame for his opponent was watching. Davis' UFC run began with a submission loss to Gilbert Burns in April 2019. He's fought just three times in roughly three and a half years since, so he's going to have to pick up the activity level moving forward if he wants to climb the rankings.
