In a battle of youth and athleticism against experience and technique, the youngster Phil Davis defeated the legendary Antonio Rogerio Nogueira Saturday night at UFC Fight Night 24.But it wasn't easy.
Although Davis came into the fight as a heavy favorite and had been proclaimed by some as the man who would some day beat UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, Nogueira made life difficult for Davis in the early going, and the fight turned into a 15-minute, back-and-forth battle that was closer than the judges' scorecards -- all of which gave Davis the fight 30-27 -- would suggest.
In the first round Nogueira was particularly effective at shrugging off the takedown attempts from Davis, who was an NCAA champion wrestler at Penn State and is excellent at taking his opponents down and keeping them down. Davis had to be frustrated at the end of the first, even though all three judges gave it to him.
But midway through the second round something clicked for Davis, and he successfully employed a single-leg takedown to get Nogueira to the canvas. From there, Davis controlled the second round with ground and pound. And in the third round Davis again used a single-leg takedown effectively and was able to control Nogueira on the ground.
Davis improved his professional MMA record to 9-0 and showed off some of the athleticism and wrestling technique that makes him a great prospect for the UFC. But he also showed that he can't just waltz into the cage and dominate a legend. Nogueira gave him all he could handle.

WASHINGTON ?�Three second-half goals propelled D.C. United to an opening-day victory over the visiting Columbus Crew in front of 18,132 fans at RFK Stadium. Debutant Charlie Davies? two goals will get the headlines, but fellow newcomer Josh Wolff got the rout started with his first goal in a United uniform.
The lone Crew goal came from a Robbie Rogers penalty kick late in the second half.
Both sides began the game with five new starters compared to 2010, and the evidence of change was prevalent early on, as midfield and attacking exchanges were a bit out of sync.
In Ben Olsen?s first game as permanent head coach of United, his side was aggressive early and had chances to open the scoring. A scintillating Josh Wolff run found Dax McCarty wide open at the top of the box, but he scuffed his shot wide.
On the other end, Crew midfielder Dejan Rusmir couldn?t convert a set piece chance as United defender Marc Burch cleared off the line a few minutes later.

Five minutes later, United doubled the lead, when midfielder Chris Pontius was fouled in the box. With US national team fans across the country crossing their fingers, Davies stepped up and slotted his penalty home to Hesmer?s right side.
The Crew weren?t ready to go away, looking the most threatening on set piece opportunities.
D.C. goalie Pat Onstad was called into action in the 69th minute, when new Crew forward Tom Heinemann tested the United ?keeper with a header off a Eddie Gaven free kick.
Davies then added his second, pouncing on a Crew defensive mistake as Chad Marshall slipped while trying to deal with a Marc Burch long ball, Davies was able to round Hesmer and slot home.
Just seconds after Davies? second goal, Columbus scored when Dejan Jakovic handled Robbie Rogers? shot in the box. Rogers struck from the spot, reducing the Crew deficit to two goals.
But it wasn?t enough on a night that clearly belonged to Davies and United head coach Ben Olsen, who earned three points in his first game without the interim tag.
