[quote]”I don’t really like that…but I have beaten a lot of Brazilians, and there’s only one guy out there who is Brazilian and who I’d like to fight, and that’s Anderson Silva.”[/quote]

Davis (13-2, 1NC) is 4-1 in his last five outings, with his lone loss coming against Anthony “Rumble” Johnson at UFC 172 in April. His most notable victory prior to this Teixeira fight is another Brazilian, Lyoto Machida.

“Mr. Wonderful” has faced five Brazilians in his career and has defeated all of them including the likes of Machida and now Teixeira.
