Phil Davis vs. Jason Brilz in the Works for UFC 129

A light heavyweight match up between Phil Davis and Jason Brilz is in the works for UFC 129 on April 30 in Toronto, Canada.

Davis (8-0, 4-0 UFC) had originally been scheduled to face Matt Hamill on the same card, but Hamill replaced Thiago Silva in a bout against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. Undefeated in his MMA career, Davis most recently submitted Tim Boetsch with a modified kimura dubbed, "The Mr. Wonderful."

Brilz (18-3-1, 3-2 UFC) will return to the cage after an injury rendered him inactive for almost a year. When he last fought, Brilz lost a close and controversial split decision to Antonio Rogerio Nogueira last May.

Davis last three fights:
Win (Submission - Modified Kimura) Tim Boetsch - UFC 123: Rampage vs. Machida (11/20/2010)
Win (Unanimous Decision) Rodney Wallace - UFC 117: Silva vs. Sonnen (08/07/2010)
Win (Submission - Anaconda Choke) Alexander Gustafsson - UFC 112: Invincible (04/10/2010)
