“I feel like I’m a lot better than where I am, only because my injuries have set me back,” said Mike Davis ahead of his clash against Farès Ziam at UFC Saudi Arabia. Riding a tough fight-winning streak, ‘Silent Killer’ entered the Octagon with a single goal—to extend his streak to five and he did achieve the victory. However, despite the victory, Ziam showcased a performance that will go down in the annals of history but his knee might give him some damage calls.
“Smile Killer” might have won the match and extended his winning streak to five fights, but Mike Davis’s unwavering determination and refusal to give up have undoubtedly won the hearts of the fans. His determination not to give up has critically impressed #10th ranked former lightweight contender, Renato Moicano.
The Brazilian took to his X handle to share a photo of their fight, where Davis locked Ziam’s knees to the point that it looked like they were about to break. Renato Moicano captioned the image with a single message and it was meant for the haters, who criticize the fighters, “99% of people would be in crutches.” Well, Moicano was not the only one who reacted to the injury as the fans took over his X post to give their own opinion as well.
