Mike - Both Chris Lytle and Marcus Davis came away with impressive wins at UFC 89. In his post-fight speech, Lytle called out Davis for a future match. It is a fact that Davis has long had his eye on Lytle, recognizing not just a similar fighter, but a similar soul. Why not make the fight? Both men bring the heat, and between the two, Dana White has given them more money in “(Insert title) of the Night” bonuses than he gave the IRS last year. The fact is, not every fight is about rankings and titles. Some match-ups are made simply because they will entertain. (I’m looking at you Couture and Lesnar.) I would be happy to see Lytle and Davis slug it out in a match outside of top 10 rankings and free of silly “gatekeeper” theories or “loser leaves town” threats. Forget consequences and win/loss records and let’s enjoy 15 minutes of fisticuffs between two guys who have fighting in their blood. Sorry Joe Silva, MMA matchmaking is not advanced calculus. This is a no-brainer. Get it done.

Kelly - This topic is going to touch a traumatized nerve in my memory. I have no argument that this fight needs to happen. I sat cageside in England last June and felt sicker than Nicole Ritchie after a pizza watching Mike Swick and Marcus Davis disappoint the pissed (that means drunk in English) UK mob who I swear were chanting “off with their heads” and sharpening axes at the Tower of London (I’m already pounding on the keyboard). It’s rare that a fight lives up to its hype, like Wanderlei Silva and Chuck Liddell, but this one could do just that AS LONG AS they don’t play psychological operations on each other like Swick did. I was at the press conference when Swick declared that he had no intention of taking Davis to the ground (heart rate increasing). I was there when the fight happened and Swick took Davis to the ground repeatedly (vision blurring). I was there when Swick declared to the arena that his real gameplan was to avoid trading punches with Davis because he knew he couldn’t win that way (standing on chair shouting). Glory Hallelujah I was there when the hyped up fight of the year went straight to hell and a swarm of boos rained down like a pestilence of locusts and damnation, by God I was there!! (panting and drooling on my desk). Yes, the fight should happen, but if they use hyperbolic taunting to frenzy up the crowd and disappoint us, then I’ll likely drop dead in this sanctum of massive hypertension.
