Ben Davis is a Sports Broadcaster on UFC Fight Pass, DAZN Boxing, and Misfits Boxing. He has also fought in BKFC, Karate Combat, as well as MF Boxing, and on July 30th, he will take part in season 41 of 'The Challenge.'
Davis appeared on Bowks Talking Bouts to cover several subjects, such as: -how he came to be part of this tenured reality show, which drops at the end of the month, and what combat sports fans peeping this show to see 'the Bane' can expect to see
-big takeaways from UFC's International Fight Week PPV w/ UFC 317
-this current time seeming like a key transitional moment in the UFC heavyweight division with Ante Delija being signed to the promotion and Tom Aspinall being upgraded to the champion outright
-interviewing BKFC champ Ben Rothwell recently for his show Combat Zone and some of the goals that he has for this new show
-Rico Verhoeven's recent Glory win and the temperature on a potential three fight series with Verhoeven and Francis Ngannou
-doing a Misfits Boxing faceoff interview with AnEsonGib as well as Slim, Gib previously fighting Jake Paul, and thoughts on Paul's recent fight with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
-being involved in the promotion for the scrapped Tommy Fury vs. Darren Till fight on the Misfits Boxing circuit and if a Paul rematch with Fury could be a logical next step for both
-how hard sparring an old man doesn't grow legitimacy
-the Canelo Alvarez vs. Jake Paul discourse falling out in the context of the upcoming Canelo clash with Terence Crawford in September
-if we ultimately see KSI vs. Dillon Danis under the Misfits Boxing banner after two planned bookings for it fell out
-interviewing Jon Jones at the DBX kickoff event in the context of all the broader circumstances attached to 'Bones' retiring from MMA
-getting his hand raised by Conor McGregor at BKFC Spain after his clash with Oscar Willis and the photo from that moment being a camera roll pic that did not age well
-if there are any sociopolitical quandaries being so immersed in combat sports while having a differing worldview from the norm
-everyone in his inner circle having their doubts about his decision to take on a bare-knuckle boxing bout with BKFC
-getting a W in the Karate Combat pit against a 'cherry picked' opponent who he 'couldn't KO'
-the UFC monopsony leading to other combat sports trying to promote their own distinctly unique things to meaningfully stand out within this attention driven economy
-if there are plans for more competitive combat sports endeavours and the potential for growth with Sumo wrestling that could take hold in the coming years

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
