Rashad Evans: Phil Davis looks like Arsenio Hall and John Salley had a baby

by Jesse Holland on Jan 26, 2012 5:09 PM EST in UFC Press Conference

Rashad Evans (left) and Phil Davis are Coming to Chicago.

The UFC on Fox 2 comedy tour rolled on today with the pre-fight press conference designed to hype the "Evans vs. Davis" network televised event booked for Saturday night (Jan. 28, 2012) at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.

Middleweight rivals Chael Sonnen and Michael Bisping were slinging mud to the best of their ability; however, event headliner Rashad Evans may have had the line of the night with this gem he dropped on light heavyweight opponent Phil Davis.

And this time (thankfully) it had nothing to do with Penn State University or the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal.

"Phil can't punch nobody hard. Phil can't hit. Phil punch with his hands open and everything. He don't hit hard. He couldn't bust a grape. Phil lookin' like Arsenio Hall and John Salley had a baby."

Whoot! Whoot! Whoot!

Most mixed martial arts (MMA) fans should know who Arsenio Hall is (former actor and late night talk show host). But if you don't know who John Salley is, you can familiarize yourself with his body of work, after the jump.

From Wikipedia:

John Thomas Salley (born May 16, 1964) is a retired American professional basketball player, actor and talk show host. He was the first player in NBA history to play on three different championship-winning franchises.

After being drafted in the first round out of Georgia Tech in 1986, the 6'11" (2.11 m) Salley played both power forward and center for the Detroit Pistons, Miami Heat, Toronto Raptors, Chicago Bulls, Panathinaikos BC and Los Angeles Lakers. He was a long-time host of the former Fox Sports Net show The Best Damn Sports Show Period.

The resemblance is uncanny!

but rashad owned him today in the battle of words..

the whole conference was hilarious from chael and his fake belt to rashad and davis going back and forth.. throw in a little splash of bisping and i was laughing through out..

But I feel kinda bad because Phil is a nice guy and doesn’t really ask to get his ass served in trash talk.

Rashad tried saying he was the better wrestler and Phil owned him. The cocaine joke put Rashad in his place, he had nothing to say other than this joke. Phil was cocky, relaxed and over exaggerated everything, Rashad had no answer for it.

Just based on this press conference alone, I can see Phil is going to win.

i agree i think when shad sees he cant take david down hes gonna be like oh shit .. and just try and put him against the cage .. but davis is too strong for him i think .

Phil said "this man is on drugs"

the first time I laughed, the second time I smiled, and the other 30 times I was annoyed.

Rashad had no answer though, that’s a very good way of making your opponent look silly. To over exaggerate, is key. That’s text book how to make your opponent look foolish.

You're troll attempts are just meh these days.

I know your goal is disagree with everyone to make them mad, but come on they’re just seem so half assed. Eventually are you going to tell us that MMA doesn’t stand for Mixed Martial Arts just because you’ve run out of troll steam?

Don’t reply to my post then kid. Respond with something worth reading or GTFO. I have credit, you don’t. Contrary to popular opinion, people read and agree with my posts.

And once again your "kid" think has gotten old.

And credit? You got banned from Bloody Elbow before you even commented, you got as much credit as your Brits have wrestling skills and a great dental reputation..

You at least have to say something first generally.

And to answer you, usually people who suck up to the mods over there.

Indecision 2012

I can honestly say that I have never been inspired to post on BE and I rarely visit their site (maybe I check a few headlines about once a month or so). I know everyone is probably a fanboy of their own MMA site of choice, but for me, MMAmania has always been that site since 2007.

In general, I could care less what stories other sites post and with all the toxic stuff I’ve heard about BE over the years, man, who would want to go there? It seems like the difference in a democracy with free speech and an evil dictatorship. I’ve made my choice. Who are you voting for?
