L.C. Davis
Comes up short against former champion
Davis lost to Marcos Galvao via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 29-28) at Bellator 166 on Friday in Thackerville, Okla.
ANALYSIS
After two rounds of struggling with Galvao's clinches and takedowns, Davis was the fresher and more active fighter in the final round. Unfortunately, Galvao was too savy to eat any hard strikes. Davis bounced around on the outside and did enough to win the final round. However, the decision still belonged to Galvao. Davis has now dropped back-to-back fights after begining his Bellator career with three-straight wins.
