Light heavyweight Phil Davis (11-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) could get a chance to cut back in line for No. 1 contender if he gets past his next challenge. According to a report from Brazilian website Porto do Vale Tudo , the 28-year-old fighter is set to meet ex-champ Lyoto Machida (19-3 MMA, 11-3 UFC) at UFC 163, which takes place Aug. 3 at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro. The fight delays an anticipated title shot for Machida, who most recently defeated Dan Henderson via decision at UFC 157
