We need to see Fickett-Davis in a battle of the most entertaining 170 pound midcarders.

I believe that was fight of the night. Non stop action and you didn’t know who was going to win until it was all over. Both guys gave their all. I wish more fighters would fight like this and not leave it in the judges hands as in the Hamil fight. I love to watch Davis fight.

First off, great fight! Secondly, thank you Yves Lavigne, for not stopping it prematurely. Its most certainly could have been.

“Tony” made a good call. Drew Fickett is a good next step for Davis (and would be a hell of a fight). If he can get past Fickett and then one more fight, maybe with Lytle, then he’ll deserve to be thought of as a top welterweight.

I think a better fight for Davis would be Burkman Vs Davis.
The UFC can capitalize on Davis’ name right now. He is hot as hell. A Burkmann fight would definitley be more fire works and would really give Davis a huge push if he wins, and it wouldn’t hurt him at all if he lost.

On the other hand Burkman winning Davis is a solid win. There isnt much out there for Burkmann right now.
These two guys are at about the same point on the 170lb ladder.

I’m fan of a fighter such as Davis.. his approach to why he fights..the will and the heart he displayed is why I’m a fan of his.

First off, great fight! Secondly, thank you Yves Lavigne, for not stopping it prematurely. Its most certainly could have been.

Yeah man, Davis should be thanking Lavigne… I really thought that fight was over and done with. Dude stuck in there and won though. Great to see that kinda composure (yes, love this word..)

What a fight. That’s one they’ll use in the UFC highlight reel they play to the Who’s Teenage Wasteland just before they go live.

I think Taylor was one hammer fist away from having this fight stopped. Davis got extremely lucky there, but finished very nicely. I liked his fighting style. Get beat to a bloody pulp, then kick a little ass.

Is there any room in Marcus’s body to move down to 155 lbs? If so, I think he should think about making that weight cutt. 170 division is just to stacked for him ever to make a serious impact.

However, every time he gets in the octagon he earns more and more respect as a fihgter. He is constantly improving, and thats all you can really ask for.

I would like to c him fight Melvin again, becasue he is 10 times better than he wass back then. It would b fun

dont you think the LW division is a little to stacked for him too? BJ, roid head, KFLO, daddy, guida, din, fisher, the list goes on and on. if anything maybe he should pack on 15 lbs and fight at “85” cause we all know there ain’t shit in that division ~ besides Silva & big rich!

yeah, Im with you. 155 is ENTIRELY too stacked with ‘natural’ 155lb fighters too. Davis should hit the gym HARD and think about 185lb.

i think they should put Davis in there against Lytle, Burkman, or rematch with coke head(Melvin). i think Lytle would be the best match up for a great fight. both pretty well rounded, both former pro boxers. That would be sweet.

No matter what this guy ever does, he earned my respect in that fight. That was definintley the fight of the night. I just wish we could have seen at least one undercard.

So do you suggest that he quits fighting in MMA?
I mean he has to fight somewhere, I say 155 lb because that division is in LIMBO right now. We dont know if the champ will keep the belt. There are a lot of talented fighters at 155, I just think Davis looks like he could cut down to that weight.
Too many established fighters at 170, he would ave to get in line behind many proven Beasts like:

GSP
Hughes
Serra
Fitch
Sanchez
Koschek
Karo

I don’t think his body will allow it, but then again Guillard who is very muscular dropped from Welter to Light so you never know.

However he like Guillard and Houston Alexander can be a force in whatever division they fight in if they train more BJJ. But yeah him dropping and facing a guy like Roger Heurta would be CRAZY!!!

i think Lytle would be the best match up for a great fight.

As an official Lytle Luver… yeah, it would be a good fight. Lytle needs more exposure in the UFC.. guy can pretty much dominate all of about 3-5 fighters in his weight class.

I don’t know about that. Marcus Davis has turned himself into a humungous WW. He looks nothing like he did during his stint on TUF. He is so ripped, it looks like muscles are tearing thru the skin of his arms and body. I think he is the PERFECT size for WW when considering if he should fight in LW, WW, or MW.

The Irish Hand Grenade is set to explode all over his next opponent!

Sorry, it was so corny, I just had to type it….

LOL That was great, corny and funny.

I think that Marcus Davis just replaced Jon Fitch as the most underrated WW in the world.

That was a very impressive Hand Grenade

Yves Lavigne was flawless…he was right there ready to stop it, but he gave both fighters the benefit of the doubt when they were down. Without the armbar, this may have been an all-out war. Great fight and performance by all.

Rumor has it that he made $80k in bonuses that night, for Sub of the Night, Fight of the Night, and his win bonus. That’s gotta be one hell of a nice windfall for him, and he deserves it.

Too bad he got the armbar or that might have been a fight of the year candidate.

DAVIS IS THE MAN. Most exciting fighter at 170

Yves Lavigne is my hero!! Yves should ref every fight that takes place until his ref career is done! No one wants to see a fight prematurly stopped. Not the fans or the fighters. It might suck when you think you finished a guy and you have to keep going, but the other guy has to ACTUALLY win the fight too when he gets the advantage so it evens out. Once again,Yves is the man!

The UFC should have Big John ref the main events (as always), and have him and Yves Lavigne spilt up the main card fights. Have Mario Yamasaki handle the prelims. And get rid of Herb Dean already!!!!!!

Thanks everyone! Was a great fight and Paul Taylor is a great guy and were buddies now. A huge thank you to Yves for being aware that I was clear and good to go. As long as I have solid refs in my fights that realize I have been hit in the head with about everything you can think of and NEVER knocked out in my life I should be able to put on exciting fights regardless if I win or lose.
