Quoteworthy:
"[My doctor] said 'Listen, you've got a lot of problems, but they're all treatable.' A lot of that weight I was carrying around before was unhealthy stuff, literally kind of like poison in my body. It was a real big eye-opener. I feel great. It's kind of weird because I've been going through a lot of changes on my way to this fight, a lot of physical changes but a ton of mental changes. My training has just gone through the roof. ... My mind went from contemplating retirement to now I'm looking at making a run in the 155-pound division."
Former UFC welterweight Marcus Davis is hoping to make a successful transition to the 155-pound weight class when he battles division stalwart Jeremy Stephens at the upcoming UFC 125: "Resolution" event on Jan. 1 in Las Vegas. "The Irish Hand Grenade" changed his diet to help alleviate digestive problems that have assisted in his weight loss and now he's ready to prove how good he feels against the "Lil' Heathen" on New Year's Eve. Can Davis, at 38, "make a run in the 155-pound division?" Or will Stephens "run" him out of the company?

diaz mangled his face
totally ran a clinic on him. im not convinced that he is good enough to stick around.
Sometimes i just don't get the mentality behind dropping weight classes.
I mean he looked old and slow at WW so what makes him think he won’t be older and a shit ton slower compared to other LWs and while possibly fighting the adverse effects of the weight cut during the fight. Unless dropping weight classes offers a stylistic advantage, cardio implications or a legitimately significant size different (aka Tibau) then it’s retarded IMO.
BIG NOG for Life
One Step closer to Gleison Tibau @ 145
If the round is too close, it's 10-10, NOT flip a coin 10-9 or late takedown FTW.

NNR: I fully agree.... Davis was a big, slow welterweight, factor in his old age, what the hell does he expect to accomplish at lw?
YAWN!!!!
lil heathen will probably mangle him
like mike swick dropping down
he looked sickly all bones. didnt help him 1 bit. same will happen to davis
before he gets that lightweight title...
He may want to have the doctors look at that sh*t that shoots out of his stomach after a win:

he's admitting to have used steroids.
"never as bad as they appear during their lowest points, never as good as they seem during their highest ones. the very best then must be not just talented but resilient, not just hungry but focused. their sport demands it."
Crazy weight
Dude walked around over 200lbs and is now wanting to fight @ 155???
Something is unhealthy in the before or after in this scenario!
A burning passion from a burning mass reaches up for the sky
