L.C. Davis enjoying making waves in the WEC featherweight division
WEC featherweight, L.C. Davis has been speaking about his latest success inside the cage, a majority decision win over Deividas Taurosevicius this past weekend in Columbus, Ohio, saying he’s excited to be on the run he’s on at the minute.
Speaking via MMAWeekly.com, Davis said:
“I’m very happy and grateful I got the victory. I thought it was a tough fight. It was a really intense match of two guys that are equally skilled with similar styles, so I’m pleased and happy I came away with the win.”
“I was a little disappointed with my stand-up. I had a hard time judging the distance and I kind of played too much defense. I just wished I would have pushed the pace a little bit more, been more aggressive and let my hands go more, so I was a little bit disappointed with that. I was very pleased with my takedown defense and my work in the clinch, but I just wish I could have done a little bit more striking-wise.”
“I think if I would have had a more decisive, dominating victory over Deividas I think that would have definitely put me a lot closer. Coming away with a squeaky close victory I don’t know where it really puts me, but definitely think it moves me a little bit more forward and gets me closer to my goal, which is the belt.”
“I don’t want to take a step backwards,” he stated. “I want to fight the big names; the Mike Browns, Urijah Fabers, and Jose Aldos; the guys who are thought of as the top guys. I worked too hard to get to 3-0 and get in this position. I just want to keep moving forward, get closer to that belt.”
Davis could put himself in lie for a shot at the title should he blow through his next opponent having put together three straight wins since joining the promotion. Stay tuned to MMABay for news on who Davis will be facing next in the coming weeks.
