With the highest profile fight of his young career coming up Saturday at UFC On Fox 2, the undefeated Phil Davis takes fans behind the curtain in part one of this "day in the life" video.
We get shots of Davis shadowboxing and sparring with comments from striking coach Adrian Melendez on Davis' improvements with his standup game and why he thinks he will win on Saturday.
It should be noted that this is not a UFC produced video so there's several sponsor mentions throughout. Part 2 will focus on Davis' cardio.
The 27-year-old Davis (9-0) battles Rashad Evans in the main event of UFC On Fox 2, his first fight since decisioning Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at a Fight Night event in March. He was slated to fight Evans at UFC 133 in Philadelphia, but had to withdraw due to a knee injury.
See the full seven-minute video after the jump.

I don't know about this alliance gym
I was a big Brandon Vera fan but then came that pathetic fight against eliot marshal, Phil sure has a problem with his striking (compared to the top 10 LHW) I hope he solves it and kicks Jones ass sometime in the near future, he is a very likable person.

Is that your breakfast?
or do you eat something after?
uhh I just like a lil something in my stomach before I start training…
(pause)
That’s enough..?
yep that’s enough for me…
(dead silence)
awkwardly funny exchange there…. dunno maybe it’s just me.

He looked like he was trying not to throw the syntha-6 up

For some reason, I want this to pan out like Melvin vs Jim Miller.

You may like Diaz, but Brock actually won a title that mattered.

Yup, sounds like fun.
I’ll bring the popcorn.

I actually thought
it was pretty funky, but not as funky as Beltran’s kicking technique…

it started sounding interesting but it fell apart rather quick.

boo him
People love to hate Evans, he’s gonna give the haters another reason to hate him.
Things Rashad has done so far that has pissed people off:
KTFO Chuck.
Derailed Forrest Hype Train
Made rampage look like an incompetent coach in TUF
Beat Rampage
Wrestle mauled Thiago Silva
Sent Tito back to the has been department.
Kept postponing his title shot with Shogun yadda yadda.
This saturday he’s going to make Davis look like nothing probably.
I am willing to test myself against the toughest fighters in the world, in front of hundreds of thousands or even millions of fans, over and over again. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but I always come to fight. I've been doing this for the past fourteen years, and I have at least a few more strong years left in me. What have you done in the past fourteen years other than act like a moron on this forum and hang on Anderson's nuts? - Dan Henderson.
yupp i agree
i dont like Rashad, but im pretty confident hes ganna run through Davis
also, here's me getting some love

LOL at wrestlemauled
Go watch that fight again. Takedown and then jackshit. Repeat ad nauseum. Then he gassed and Thiago absolutely should’ve knocked him the F out.

Speed factor
Rashad is a FAST LHW. Phil never struck me as very fast with striking or takedowns. He’s methodical. I can see Davis winning by submission, but Rashad’s speed advantage could very well win him this fight.
there is a major size difference
between them, Davis is way bigger and stronger but with not up to par striking …interesting match

Phil does not look smooth in the standup
People at my gym training less than a year look smoother in the standup. Hope he can take Rashad down or it will be a long (short) night for him
