The last time we saw Phil Davis in the cage was in April 2021 when he lost to Vadim Nemkov for the Bellator Light Heavyweight Title.
Phil Davis is from Harrisburgh and has a career record of 22-6. Davis won the NCAA championship in 2008 at 197 pounds.
All of Penn State will be pulling for Davis when he enters the cage as he works his way back to the top.
