Makes some sense, but still
Sorry boutcha Tim
When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail." - Jack Burton
It does make sense, but
Tim is getting trashed here…

I hate this fight. So much.
Why do they match two genuinely nice and humble guys and force one of them to lose?

because Tim Boetsch was goddamn boring beyond description at UFC117 and had the most lackluster victory this side of Nik Lentz. This is his reward.

That fight was awful.
Both guys are fucking great in person though and I hate seeing either one lose.
I’m telling you dude, you should have just gotten on one of the shuttles to the hotel and hung out at the bar there with everybody after the fight.

I think you're to personally involved with some of these fighters to talk about match-ups
But I’ll say it again, I like your style and respect your moves

Probably.
This is a very reasonable fight for both guys. I just wish guys lke them could always win everything.

Because this is the Ultimate FIGHTING Championships.
Not the Ultimate “Oh, hey bro, let me get your coat,” Championships.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
Hmmmm, yea...yea, I like this fight

not cool since the early 90s. And that’s generous.

Hi Tim Boetsch!
Bye Tim Boetsch!
"I'm gonna go after number one, whoever it is. If it's Anderson, or I gotta go up after the guys at 205, or go on a diet and go after Jose Aldo-- it doesn't matter." -Chael Sonnen
Jason Brilz didn’t have much trouble outwrestling Boetsch to a decision win. I don’t think Davis will have much trouble doing the same.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt
Phil Davis better prepare for some Redneck Judo!
Who am I kidding, he’s probably going to lose.
My avatar has Bas Rutten and Terry Funk in it...therefore it's the manliest avatar on SB Nation.
Except Phil will get all deliverence on Tim…

It's great to see him doing well
I know there was a lot of hand wringing when he was signed by the UFC, lots of concern over whether or not he was ready for the big show but the UFC has done a damn good job bringing along their prospects at 205.

damn you Joe Silva
I like Boetsch too much to see him lose to Davis, who I also am a fan of. But this is the UFC, no easy fights.
I told you not to f*ck with me.

I don't know about you guys, but I think this is a great fight.
this isn’t a sure thing, and I think Boetsch could bring some serious problems for Phil…
I don't think so
Boetsch is a tough guy, but Davis should handle him pretty easily, if he is who we think he is.

people often get into the hypetrain too much and forget that Davis’ MMA career is still on it’s infancy… he still has a lot to develop in his game, and Boetsch is just the right guy to match up and test him at this point in time.

I agree
This is an appropriate step up for him.
