Marcus Davis fights Jess Liaudin at UFC 80. The Irish Hand Grenade will
be looking to extend his win streak to 11 straight.
Marcus began began boxing at 14, turning pro at the age of 19 with a
second round TKO of Luis Guzman in April 1993. He compiled a professional
record of 17-1-2 over the next seven years on the New England circuit.
Marcus Davis entered professional MMA on August 22, 2003 with a first
round TKO of Shaun Gay. Though later describing himself as "one-dimensional",
he put together a 3-2 pro MMA record.
In 2005, Marcus was a contestant on The Ultimate Fighter 2. Coming in
with reputed boxing skills, he picked Joe Stevenson in episode four in
what proved to be a mismatch, as Davis was quickly taken down and submitted
by the eventual winner. Marcus fought on the undercard of the finale,
where he lost to Melvin Guillard.
Davis has subsequently bounced back with 10 straight wins, including
a triumphant return to the UFC at Ortiz vs. Shamrock 3: The Final Chapter.
He now considers himself a mixed martial artist and not a boxer fighting
in MMA.
Davis' last fight was against Paul Taylor at UFC 75. Davis secured an
armbar for a first round victory.
