- Already sporting a talent-rich lightweight roster, the Maximum Fighting Championship has added one of the division's most powerful strikers, and a fighter who has targeted big finishes in fan-favorite encounters.
Marcus "The Irish Hand Grenade" Davis has signed a multi-fight deal with the Maximum Fighting Championship, and will make his much-anticipated debut when S.L. Feldman's & Associates presents MFC 29: Conquer at The Colosseum at Caesars Windsor on Friday, April 8. Tickets for the event go on sale at Noon ET on Friday, March 4 at www.caesarswindsor.com and The Colosseum box office.
Davis (17- is expected to meet the livewire "Ragin" Kajan Johnson (18-11-1) in one of the featured matchups that will air live on HDNet Fights.
The Bangor , Maine , product and member of Team Sityodtong already feels like he has found a home in the MFC which prides itself in pushing the entertainment envelope.
"I feel I'm sort of the Nostradamus of MMA," explained Davis . "When I started in the sport I was talking to boxing magazines and told them that MMA was going to take over boxing. They said I was crazy but it happened."
"I feel the same about being in the MFC. (Owner/President) Mark Pavelich has done a very good job not only developing his brand but also developing his fighters. That's why I made the choice I did.
"I'm a fighter who wears his heart on his sleeve. I go out and give it all I've got to be entertaining. I think my style fits very well with the MFC."
Davis is well-known for his all-out clashes as the 37-year-old has built a reputation of fights that leave a lasting impression. His career is highlighted by an 11-fight winning streak that included victories over notables such as Pete Spratt, Shonie Carter, Forrest Petz, Paul Taylor, and Jess Liaudin. While building up six knockouts and eight submission stoppages, Davis has captured victories over rival big punchers such as Jonathan Goulet, Chris Lytle, and Paul Kelly.
"No matter what, every time I fight, I try to end the fight and I'm bleeding all over somebody," cracked Davis .
"I think the MFC lightweight division is stacked but there's no doubt I'm the best striker. That's what I'm going to bring. I'm going to get right in there. I'm looking forward to coming in and making a big splash."
Johnson, who fights out of Vancouver , B.C., is coming off a one-sided decision win over Ryan Healy at MFC 27. Although Johnson sports four knockouts and 10 submissions on his resume, Davis doesn't expect his upcoming foe to be ready for this sizeable step up.
"He hasn't faced the type of competition I've faced and he has no idea the level of where my confidence is at," added Davis . "He's tough but I'm very confident." http://www.mmamania.com/2011/2/28/2020225/mfc-29-marcus-davis-vs-kajan-johnson-booked-for-april-8-on-hdnet | |
