Lightweight contender Mike Davis re-entered the win column on Saturday, stopping Utah’s Mitch Ramirez with a jumping knee followed by punches at 4:08 of the second round at UFC Nashville. Davis, a heavy favorite at −900, weathered early grappling exchanges before landing the decisive strike that sent Ramirez to the canvas and prompted the referee to halt the bout. The New Yorker improves his professional record to 12-3, while Contender Series alumnus Ramirez slips to 8-3 after his second consecutive defeat. The victory halts Davis’s slide after a February loss to Fares Ziam and positions the 31-year-old to resume his climb in the UFC’s crowded lightweight division.
