Marcus Davis would like Dan Hardy to stand and trade or shut his mouth

Props: Fight Hype

Quoteworthy:

"He’s one of those guys that’s looking to build his name and stir up things. He’s all Hollywood and stuff so whatever. The guy keeps running his mouth and he reminds me a lot of when I fought Jess Liaudin, but he’s pushing it further. If the UFC makes that fight, I will be looking forward to it ... he’s riding high on the fact that he just knocked out Rory Markham, but he’s got normal power in his punches, like an average MMA fighter, but he doesn’t have my kind of power in his punches and he’ll find that out if we fight ... I think that he’s smoking crack because he can’t stand and trade with me. He won’t stand and trade with me because he would be on his back and if he’s on his back, then I would be on top smashing his face into dust like I said before ... I’ve heard him take shots at my speed or whatever, that I’m not that quick. Well, whatever; we’ll find out. I’m fast enough to catch him. He’s had 2 fights in the UFC and won’t shut his mouth."

-UFC welterweight Marcus Davis (16-4) responds to some recent criticism from fellow 170-pound striker Dan Hardy (21-6). "The Outlaw" mentioned wanting to fight "The Irish Hand Grenade" numerous times in his post-fight interviews following UFC 95 and it seems as though his rhetoric may have worked. Davis told UFC matchmaker Joe Silva to set it up for UFC 99 at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne, Germany, on June 13. Neither the Davis nor Hardy have ever been stopped by strikes in their respective mixed martial arts careers, however that could all change in at some point in 2009 … at least for one fighter.

get em Davis!

by Jizzo on Mar 4, 2009 2:46 PM EST reply actions  

man i cant stand davis … i hope he gets knocked out… i used to like him but he got all annoying and always thinks he has this huge advantage over his opponents like he is in a different league… anyway i hope hardy gets the KO and put this guy down the ranks and i still cant believe this fool won against Lytle …. Lytle handled him in that fight

by ufcaddict on Mar 4, 2009 5:36 PM EST up reply actions  

F Marcus Davis! I am so freaking sick of this guy! To think that I used to be a big fan! All this idiot does is use his boxing background about how NObody better dare try to stand with him….but he cant bus a grape either! He turned what was a formula for a slugfest (lytle fight)…into a ordinary fight that I have already forgotten. He promises all this excitement for the swick fight and bores me to sleep! Prior to that he tried to stand n trade with Paul Taylor and got kicked in his mouth…needed jits to save him…..

What the hell has he done with his hands in the past couple of fights? Not a damn thing! Dont let him fool you….he doesnt want to stand n bang with these lil mma gloves! Dude relies on the reputation of his hands to make his opponents cautious….I cant wait to see Hardy light his ass up with footwork and speed! Dude doesnt even like fighting in America anymore….F that, the British and Irish can have his bitch ass!

Where my british hommies at? AMERICA will trade you Marcus for Dan Hardy….Deal? lol… Davis time is almost up, Hardy is the future…plus Hardyu is a cool, and entertaining kat, and I can dig that!

Ever since he said he would keep it standing with Lytle, i have had questions about this guy. I hate fighters that refuse to use all their skills. If you wanna stand then f’n go to K1. Let exciting fights happen spontaneously, don’t plan them out.

I have no problem with Marcus Davis whatsoever. What he does is goad people into fighting him on the feet where he has the advantage. That’s a great strategy for a guy with a professional boxing background. He won using BJJ against a guy with bad BJJ in Taylor, and has beat guys standing (Lytle) who have good BJJ. I think he’s evolved a lot as a fighter and I see him knocking Hardy out in their fight.

I have never been impressed with Davis’s boxing in the UFC. 2 KO’s in 20 fights!!

If you look at his boxing record it looks good (won 17 out of 20)but then you realise that he fought a lot of local bums. Only 6 of the 20 fighters he boxed had won more fights than they’d lost. One had lost 9 out of 10 fights!!!

Someone needs to tell davis this is MIXED MARTIAL ARTS and not a boxing match, go box davis, not many will miss you. I find guys annoying who call fighters who can actually fight on the ground pussies, he’s a douche.

by nathan on Mar 4, 2009 2:47 PM EST reply actions  

He’s only talking like that because Hardy is critisizing his stand up and saying he’ll trade with him. Same with Lytle, the only reason it was brought up in that light is because thats how the fight was billed in the first place, “a stand up war”.

by O damn he got caught on Mar 4, 2009 2:56 PM EST up reply actions  

Umm, Nathan… he beat Spratt, Taylor, and Kelly by subs. I think he’s aware this is MMA. He’s just responding to a guy who called him out and shot his mouth off about standing and banging… which is Marcus’ specialty. Hardy had this response coming.

Davis has shown in recent years that he’s become much more than a boxer.

by Ronnie Coles on Mar 4, 2009 3:01 PM EST up reply actions  

take it easy Nathan, Marcus’ ground game is pretty good too. I think he was responding to comments made by Hardy. I am pretty sure he knows this is MMA. And where in this quote did he call him a pussy?

Marcus Davis has turned himself from a boxer into quite a tidy MMA proponent Nathan. He’s a good guy and has made a great career in combat sports. You should show more respect and pull your head in. I like Hardy and Davis but i really hope Davis gets a few more wins under his belt and get’s a well deserved shot at the title.

You’re soundung like the douche now Nathan
Hardy doesn’t deserve a shot at Davis yet but hopefully he’ll get a lesson thought to him by the Irish Hand Grenade
Hardy should get a slappin for sayin what he did bout GSP
I know he didn’t call him out, but sayin he’ll be at his level ‘soon’, I mean come on

by IrishKev on Mar 4, 2009 7:21 PM EST up reply actions  

While I agree that Davis is quality MMA, saying someone doesn’t deserve a shot at him is semi-ludicrous. Davis is good, but not top five in his division. So, as far as I’m concerned, anyone who is 2-0 in the UFC is fair game for him.

by Mahde on Mar 4, 2009 7:38 PM EST up reply actions  

I get what you’re saying. I don’t rate him top 5 either but he’s faced stiffer competition than Dan Hardy has and is
I think it’s a step down in competition from fighting and beating Lytle (who’s faced top fighters like Hughes and Koscheck) to fighting Hardy (Markham and Gono)
Davis has also fought other more expierenced peop;e like Spratt, Swick(loss I know but still), Lytle and even Taylor and Kelly
I think there’s better fights for him like McCrory, Hazelett. I’d like to see him against Parisyan when he’s back from the ban

by IrishKev on Mar 4, 2009 7:59 PM EST up reply actions  

Totally agree IrishKev. He may not be at the top of the division, but he has many quality wins in the WW division, and Hardy is a step down at this point. He’s a good fighter and I’m looking forward to the fight, but I would have rather seen Davis fight someone like Hazelett or Parisyan.

I honestly think this type of smack talk ruins fights…guys get so into themselves while making claims as to how, when, where, they will win in dominent fashion. All they are doing is putting more pressure on themselves and once they get into the octagon they shy away in fear of getting caught or KOed

I get tired of the same prefight crap too. I wish the UFC would do less promoting and focus more on the actual production.

by RealDrew on Mar 4, 2009 4:12 PM EST up reply actions  

Phil and Drew, I get what you guys are saying about the production, but the UFC does so many shows a year now that it would be ridiculous for them to put on productions like that. Not to mention that it would be a huuge expense and most likely would not pay off with better PPV buys. I bet it would hurt buys. Some casual fans would think that stuff was gay as hell.

On the Davis thing…seems to me like he likes to run his mouth too. It’s just that when he does it, he comments about how the other guys talks all sorts of shit and he’s gonna let his performance do the talking. If that’s the case, there’s no need to say it. He should practice what he preaches and STFU too.

yea but when davis talks crap its always in response to something someone said. and hardy really doesnt deserve a shot against davis, the guys a punk.

crowls:

He is a top level fighter when it comes to name recognition in the WEC. As much as we all like it, the WEC isnt as well known as many of us think….

I dont think Jens can beat Aldo, but I do believe that Jens can make it into a fight of the year Candidate…I dont think Jens would get steamrolled like he was against Leanord Garcia.

WEC and UFC are 2 different situations. UFC has a million legit guys that are known and could be thrust into title fights….WEC doesnt have as many fighters, and if new stars dont emerge, we are just going to keep seeing brown, Garcia, Urijah…round robbin style fighting for the featherweight title…. Sure they Have Wagney who I like, but he still needs to be built up if they want to start selling him as contender to a title….especially if the rumors are true and they start making a leap to ppv.

I am critical of the UFC for doing it, because they have so much talent and a high number of fighters that if they just book fights on actual merrit instead of marketability, it would still provide us with amazing fights and make the UFC more legit!

UFC is top dog, they must be held to higher standards! Especially since they are the onlyones in a position to continue to make the sport grow!

Great question though Crowls!

It has nothing to do with that, Hardy started shooting off his mouth cause he got that ko, now he thinks he a boxer, besides this guy, ive neaver heard Davis say this about any other fighter, let him go in there with Davis he will get beat on the ground or on his feet, Shit Hardy reminds me of Bisping, do all UK fighters have big heads or just the few lucky enough to make it to the UFC.

by Thebending on Mar 4, 2009 4:26 PM EST up reply actions  

Davis will win this fight for sure, if it’s made. He is more technical on the feet and he has legit ground skills too. DAVIS BY TKO ROUND 1…Hardy has a big mouth and I can’t wait to see Davis shut it for him.

I usually like Marcus Davies, but he’s just being stupid here. I hate it when fighters (often from a boxing background) go on about wanting their opponents to “stand and trade” with them – as if that’s the only thing that constitutes ‘real’ fighting. I really thought that MMA as a sport had moved past that.

by LOKIE on Mar 4, 2009 4:10 PM EST up reply actions  

I just think its funny because Davis is just trying to defend himself, but because these websites cant find Dan Hardys quotes, it makes it sound like Davis is talking trash, ill bet Hardy is running his mouth alot, we just havent heard it yet, he seems a little cocky, not confident, cocky, theres a difference. The kid needs to earn his stripes a little more. Its okay to want to fight good accomplished fighters, but be humble. Especially when the guy you are challenging has proven himself way more than you have. Just my opinion

by Dave on Mar 4, 2009 3:20 PM EST reply actions  

This will be a good fight. From what I’ve seen Hardy is very technically sound in the standup but I’d expect him to mix it up, strike, clinch and takedown attempts. He probably doesn’t want to play into his opponent’s strengths here so it will be interesting to see how he attempts to outscore Davis and not make it a straight up boxing match like Davis wants. Looking forward to this already.

i hope marcus davis does knock the hell out of hardy… hardy does seem to be walking around thinking he a big shot now… he knocked out rory who isnt even a top tier fighter at all… and ok he does get a co main event slot but he must be thinking he got it for his talent…he must not realize he only got it because he’s britain… now he’s calling out davis and even made a remark about GSP!!!….. GSP!!! dude i hope davis knocks reality back into this guy…

He said the same thing before the Lytle fight and correct me if I’m wrong, but it was Lytle that was the aggressor. Davis fought well and won, but he was much more calculated than Lytle who brawled the entire fight. Used to be a fan but he looks like a douche when he does this. Nobody cares, you are not a contender or a badass. I like a little trash talking now and then but it is much more interesting before fights that actually matter. Davis has a long way to go before he gets anywhere close to a big fight.

Nathan must be a brit and a Hardy fan to talk that way. Marcus has alot of fans and definitely would be missed if he left. I’m sure Marcus can and will beat Dan via anyway he wants.

I hope Davis beats him if they fight.
Hardy strikes me as very arrogant after just 2 fights in the UFC.
If Hardy wants to slag off Davis’ stand up, he has to be willing to stand with Davis to prove what he is saying is right.
I actually met Hardy in Dublin UFc in the hotel before the event.
I asked him was he Dan Hardy, and he just shook his head like to say no.
I felt like saying, hold on mate, you are not that famous yet. Tosser.

by bazza76 on Mar 4, 2009 4:41 PM EST reply actions  

He doesnt have to prove anything to Davis, Davis is average at best. I think Hardy should say he is going stand with him and go in there, take him down and choke him out!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we can here Davis tell the crowd he sorry but Hardy didnt want to stand up with me. A good game plan when fighting Davis would be to take him down, he cant fight on the ground and should stop acting like he is all that cause he aint. Thats why he will never be a champion and continue to fight other stand up guys just to please the blood thirsty fans that dont care about skill, just want to see a stiff body in the cage. War seeing Hardy take Davis out by KO or sub, either way I dont care just shut this guy up already!!!!!!!!

great post spyder…..“now get your shine box and shine my freaking shoes (in my Joe Pesci voice)”….Just teasing.

U r dead right about Davis….He has fought good guys, but before they were really good….know waht I mean? He beat Paul Taylor, but I think Taylor would Murder him if they fight a year from now….Who is the best fighter that Marcus has faced? Swick maybe?….Guy is a b level fighter at best….FYI, I think Marcus is a bitch that is not comfortable standing with the little mma gloves! I will probably get bashed for this, but every time I see him fight a striker, I see a whole lot of back peddling out of Marcus!

Bisping did that to a 10 year old about 2 years ago. I thought it was hilarious. The kid goes are you one of them UFC fighters and Bisping goes Who me?…No. I had to try so hard not to erupt laughing because I was standing right beside Bisping in an elevator.

He wants everyone to stand with him, like everyone says, anyone can throw a lucky punch and KO someone but it takes actual skill to fight on the ground. I cant wait until Marcus fights a ground guy that just takes him down the whole fight and pumps him from top position or is constantly trying a sub. Im getting tired of Marcus, if you want to box go box. I would love to see Marcus get choked out.

by the spyder on Mar 4, 2009 4:44 PM EST reply actions  

This comment strikes me as moronic. You say that ground fighting requires “skill”, so I can only figure that you’re not a fan of striking. You are in fact making your argument in the exact same fashion as the the people you complain about.Only your opinion is the complete opposite.

I enjoy fighters who can take the fight anywhere and dominate. Ground fighting requires great skill as does technical stiking. If it was that easy we would see alot more truly well-rounded fighters than we do.

by sooper822 on Mar 4, 2009 7:22 PM EST up reply actions  

So do I, but Marcus is so one dimensional its sickening at this point. He wants guys to stand with him and if they doant he has an excuse for that. Im just tired of Davis and his standup game. Like I said if wants to Box then go Box. I want to see striking, GnP, sub attempts etc. Honestly man I would rather see a Leg lock, armbar, choke over a KO anyday. Like I have heard alot of prominent MMA guys state “ANYONE CAN THROW A LUCKY pUNCH AND KO SOMEONE” “BUT IT TAKES SKILL TO TAKE SOMONE DOWN AND SUBMITT THEM” If you have never heard that then you have not been watching for long. Look at the Koschek fight 2 weeks ago, perfect example.

I could be wrong I just thought I remember him saying something like that in an interview, saying how he wanted to put on a show and stand and bang. Yes I don’t know a lot about him other that I’m not a fan, like I’m not a fan of 90% of MMA’s fighters. My 5 favorite fighters to watch fight are the spider,fedor,gsp,penn and machida, I know a lot don’t like watching him I do. I feel machida will soon be the light-heavy weight champ, and also think thiago alves has a good chance of being the next welter weight champ as I feel it could go either way,but gsp has the tendancy to surprise me so who knows.

Marcus Davis is now 35 or 36 years old and two more years to prove he can be an elite fighter. Dan Hardy is still in his late 20s so he still has a long way to go. I am rooting for Davis, though, if they fight. But Hardy is also a tough guy so it will not be a slamdunk if he beats Marcus. Davis has to beat an AKA fighter first before he can move past the gatekeeper position at 170.

I’m bored of both fighters to be honest. I go to all the european shows and I’m sick and fed up of seeing the same bums at every show, Davis, Hardy, Taylor, Kelly, Etim. None of them will get a title shot if they live to be a thousand! Davis is a particular tool though, I mean are you American, are you Irish, which is it??? Three quarters of America can claim to have Irish roots, why are you so special? You were born in America, are an American citizen and fight under the American flag, so stop claiming to be Irish! He also talks like he posseses the greatest stand up in MMA, when its below average at best. He’s made a living beating no mark British bums like Taylor, Kelly, Liaudin etc and as soon as he’s fought anyone remotely near the top 20 (Swick), he had his ass handed to him in one of the most one sided fights I’ve ever seen. Hope he gets beaten badly so I never have to see him again!

by attakdog on Mar 5, 2009 8:15 AM EST reply actions  

I agree, I buy fightclub tickets to the live European shows and tire of seeing the cards fill up with the same group of fighters, particulary seeing Davis time and time again. Hardy was in my opinion wrongly forced upon us in the co-main event of 95, in only his 2nd UFC fight, a fighter should be built up.
I dont know who I would rather win a fight between Hardy and Davis, if Hardy wins then hopefully he’ll beat Davis off the UK cards, however he will then be pushed as another UK UFC poster boy, and will more than likely accompany Bisping on every co or main event for many events to come, preventing UK fans from having decent main events of top class worldwide fighters. If Davis wins, hopefully he will have had enough himself of UK cards and will want to fight in America, and also will put Hardy down a few pegs in the running order… so maybe thats the best option.. even tho im sure Hardy will still be pushed in the UK whatever the result…
