What do you do when you have two guys who can't win big fights but who always put on entertaining matches? Throw 'em in a cage together and hope for a Fight of the Night, obviously. According to MMA Mania (http://www.mmamania.com/2009/12/22/1212337/ufc-111-marcus-davis-vs-phil), Phil Baroni (http://wiki.cagepotato.com/index.php/Phil_Baroni) and Marcus Davis (http://wiki.cagepotato.com/index.php/Marcus_Davis) have verbally agreed to whip the New Jersey crowd into a frenzy at UFC 111 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_111) (March 27th, Newark), supporting a card that will feature Georges St. Pierre vs. Dan Hardy (http://www.cagepotato.com/report-gsp-vs-dan-hardy-slated-march-newark-%E2%80%94-wait-seriously) and (hopefully) Frank Mir vs. Shane Carwin (http://www.cagepotato.com/its-frank-mir-vs-shane-carwin-tapped-interim-title-fight-march).
After nearly five years away from the UFC, Phil Baroni returned to the Octagon at UFC 106 (http://www.cagepotato.com/ufc-106-live-results) last month to take on TUF 7 winner Amir Sadollah (http://wiki.cagepotato.com/index.php/Amir_Sadollah). Baroni came out strong in the first round, but his familiar struggles with cardio cursed him once again, and Sadollah dominated the last two rounds en route to a unanimous decision. Marcus Davis is currently on a two-fight losing streak, dropping matches to Dan Hardy (http://wiki.cagepotato.com/index.php/Dan_Hardy) (via split-decision at UFC 99) and Ben Saunders (http://wiki.cagepotato.com/index.php/Ben_Saunders) (via Thai clinch execution at UFC 106).
As a more well-rounded fighter with a much better gas tank, Davis should be a strong favorite to win this one. The question is, will Baroni be cut after losing another match, or will the UFC keep him around a while longer for their further amusement?
