Despite bypassing “octagon jitters,” UFC’s Phil Davis says much work still to be done

Almost every mixed martial arts fighter, rookie and veteran has to deal with a bit of nerves each time before he steps into the cage.

After all, entering into hand-to-hand combat is not for the faint of heart.

Those nerves can be compounded in a UFC debut in what is often referred
to as the “octagon jitters,” but new UFC light heavyweight Phil Davis
(5-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio that his first fight for the promotion was
just business as usual.
