Here’s how the fighters measure up ahead of tonight’s main event. Both Davis and Martin came in safely under the lightweight division limit of 135lbs. Martin will enjoy a two-and-a-half-inch height advantage, though the squat Davis is accustomed to being the smaller man.
It’s been 14 months since Davis last fought. One of the reasons for the layoff involves last year’s guilty plea to charges stemming from a hit-and-run crash that left four people hospitalized, including a pregnant woman. Davis was sentenced to 90 days of home detention at the home of his trainer.
