UFC Quick Quote: Marcus Davis has no doubt he's a better boxer than Nate Diaz

but it is an excuse to drink whiskey in my coffee.

My great grandfather was scottish, but you wouldn’t see me walking to the octagon glugging whiskey, wearing a kilt, blowing bagpipes and being cornered by William Wallace and Sir Sean Connery.

Practically everyone in America can claim Oirish descent, why’s this clown think he’s so friggin’ special????

I am 4th generation Irish American and proud of my descent. My forefathers came to America to start a better life, and they accomplished that. I grew up with Irish folk songs, prayers and food as a normal part of my life. I have been to Ireland twice and have spent a little over a month in the land of my fathers. Honestly, if I could ensure a better life for my family, I would move there tomorrow.

My family’s urban upbringing congregated around a neighborhood near Philadelphia that was primarily Irish immigrants. Because of where they lived, their friends tended to be Irish, the business owners in the neighborhood tended to be Irish and the church was most certainly an Irish Catholic church. They also felt the brunt of discrimination that was centered at the Irish immigrants of the time. Because most were fleeing the Famine (my family included) that occured in Ireland, these immigrants had little to no money and had to scrape together even a simple life in the US. The community was instrumental in making sure these immigrants had even a fighting chance (my family again included). It wasn’t a bunch of (random names, don’t get pissed) Poles or Italians or Hungarians that helped my family, it was Irish-Americans. The common bond of coming from the same place, not unlike thinking of your hometown now, was enough to give these struggling immigrants a fair start in this country. I was brought up to never forget that and to never forget where I come from. I won’t.
