The main event of UFC Fight Night 24 is Phil Davis vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. Tito Ortiz was originally scheduled to face Nogueira, but was forced to withdraw due to injury. Most experts heading into this bout believe Davis could one day challenge Jon Jones for the UFC light heavyweight title. I certainly concur with that sentiment, but it should be noted Nogueira should provide a much tougher fight than most expect.
