UFC Fight Night 24 Pre-Fight Interviews: Nogueira, Davis, Hardy, Johnson
Posted on March 26, 2011, 05:24 PM by Joey SantosusTonight's headliners, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Phil "Mr. Wonderful" Davis, discuss the importance of tonight's match-up, as well as their gameplan for the bout. "Lil' Nog" says he was disappointed when Tito Ortiz pulled out of the fight, but also considers Davis a high level Light Heavyweight. Davis, on the other hand, admits that this fight came a little sooner than he wanted to get back in the octagon, but says it was a great opportunity and he is ready to go.
Welterweights Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy and Anthony "Rumble" Johnson, who will go head to head in tonight's co-main event, discuss one another, as well as what they are expecting in tonight's match-up. Hardy explains his outlook on the bout, which he feels is do or die in terms of keeping his spot on the Roster. Johnson, meanwhile, is confident heading into the fight, and says anything the Brit can do, he can do better.

Heart wants Nog and Hardy, head says Davis and Johnson.
I picked Hardy to win, but its impossible to predict. Its basically going to be a shoot out... As for the Main Event, I agree with you there. Nog hasn't been doing well against competent wrestlers. He says he has been working diligently on that part of his game, but its hard to imagine he can close that kind of gap in such a short period of time.
Yeah - I'm with you. Hardy can win it, but I'm worried the won't and Davis is going to give Nog problems. Then again Davis has been working on his stand-up, but I doubt he'll risk it. He won't finished Nog tho, either TKO for Nog or Dec for Davis.
Yea, I took Davis by decision... I agree, I don't think Nog is going to be the guy that he decides to test his stand-up against.
Phil Davis never runs out of gum.DAMN!
