HARRISBURG -- No opponent means no fight now for Phil Davis.

The Harrisburg native has reportedly been dropped from UFC 155 after Forrest Griffin, his scheduled opponent, withdrew with a knee injury.

Rather than find a new opponent for "Mr. Wonderful," UFC has pulled him from the December 29 event altogether. "We're going to move him to another card," UFC President Dana White told MMAWeekly.com on Thursday.

His next fight could come in early 2013.

Davis last defeated Wagner Prado at UFC 153 to improve to 10-1-1.
