UFC on ESPN 70 video: Mike Davis swarms Mitch Ramirez for TKO after flying knee
Mike Davis returned to the win column with an impressive finish of Mitch Ramirez.
The lightweight bout was the second preliminary fight at UFC on ESPN 70 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. Davis (12-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC), who went back to the drawing board after his last fight, showed improvements across the board leading up to a TKO finish of Ramirez (8-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at 4:08 of Round 2.
The first round was one-way traffic from Davis, as he quickly got the fight to the ground and latched on to Ramirez's back for a majority of the round while hunting for a rear-naked choke.
In Round 2, striking was the path both fighters chose. Although Davis took his share of strikes from Ramirez, he kept engaging, and started to pull away as the round wore on. Once he got Ramirez close to the fence, Davis jumped forward with a flying knee that landed clean, and the flurry of punches that followed dropped Ramirez for the finish.

Davis bounces back into the win column after a decision loss to Fares Ziam in February. In preparation for this fight, he added more muscle to his frame in order not to get overpowered by lightweight opposition – a move that worked out very well against Ramirez.
