“The Black Country Banger” is the latest local talent added to March’s UFC London.
UFC officials recently revealed that England’s own Jai Herbert (11-3) will face Mike Davis (9-2) at the Fight Night event. The bout is expected to take place in the lightweight division.
Herbert, a former Cage Warriors champ at 155 pounds, picked up the first win of his UFC career in his last outing. After starting his run with the promotion 0-2, he stopped Khama Worthy by TKO last October.
Davis has won two straight, including a Fight of the Night performance last time out. That saw “Beast Boy” win a unanimous decision against Welsh fighter Mason Jones. Davis missed all of 2020, but also had a KO of Thomas Gifford in 2019.
