Sullivan Cauley won a decision against Phil Davis at PFL Chicago, securing his spot in the PFL World Tournament final.

Cauley faced challenges during the fight but displayed resilience by continuing to fight hard despite exhaustion. The win boosted his confidence, affirming his abilities. Cauley noted the importance of cage time for growth, emphasizing that competition enhances skills more than practice alone. Next, he prepares for a matchup with Antonio Carlos Jr.
I really had to dig deep there in rounds two and three. I think Phil and I were both tired coming out of that first round, and yeah I just had to dig deep and fight hard.
I couldn't be more confident. I knew I was good enough to beat Phil, but believing it and doing it are two different things.
This is hugely valuable. This is really where you get better. People talk about getting better in practice all the time, and that's true to an extent, but there's really a limit to how much you can grow in the practice room.
Beating a guy like Phil Davis like that, I'm one of the best 205lb'ers in the world, for sure.
