Paul Kelly Vs Marcus Davis At UFC 89

Wolfslair product Paul Kelly may be fighting Marcus Davis at UFC 89 in October, Fighters Only has been told.

Sources close to the fight have indicated that contracts are being drawn up for the fight, although nothing has as yet been signed.

Kelly made his UFC debut in January when he fought fellow Briton Paul Taylor on the undercard of UFC 80.

The pair won the Fight of the Night bonus for their three-round war, which the UFC screened on the pay-per-view broadcast despite it being originally scheduled as part of the non-televised undercard.

SERIOUSLY MARCUS. FIGHT IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY FOR ONCE!

Yeah I hope Kelly beats him back to america

No but seriously enough is enough and I dont see why brits have to keep seeing the same guy fight! he has fought here more times than Bisping ffs!

that will be 2 losses in a row for davis :)

Isnt Kelly already fighting sam stout at 89?

Should be a good slug fest, but i can see Kelly knocking him out in the second....

dont know who to pick, im not sold on either guy in this fight.

Well, if this fight does materialize, ill pretty much be split down the middle as far as who i pick goes. Kelly could, and should, copy swicks tactics and utilise takedowns. His strength is his gnp. But if kelly chooses to stand with marcus i think he'll get knocked out.

if this fight happens I see Kelly taking Davis down early on in every round and pounding on him for 3 rounds, kelly by UD.

thats what i thought, it would have been an easier pick if it was stout, but i still think kelly will beat davis, he manhandled paul taylor

I just read and intresting article that Marcus Davis fought seriously injured against Mike Swick. I say he beats Kelly if healthy.

PAUL KELLY CONFIRMS UFC 89 MARCUS DAVIS BOUT

With the recent official announcement of the Ultimate Fighting Championships next venture into England being an October 18 date at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, bouts are slowly starting to come together and with a decidedly European flavor.

The main event for UFC 89 has already been revealed as British superstar Michael Bisping squaring off with Ultimate Fighter alum Chris Leben. The two were originally supposed to clash at UFC 85 on June 7, but Leben’s legal issues involving a parrol violation stemming from a past DUI arrest subverted the bout.

Several bouts have been rumored, and although the UFC has yet to official confirm the fight, Brit Paul Kelly told MMAWeekly.com on Friday that he is signed to face Marcus Davis in a welterweight showdown in Birmingham.

Undefeated in professional competition, Kelly will be making his second start in the Octagon at UFC 89. He defeated fellow Britain Paul Taylor at UFC 80 and will be putting his 7-0 record on the line against Davis.

Davis lost his most recent bout, a unanimous decision at the hands of American Kickboxing Academy’s Mike Swick. Prior to that fight, he had been on an 11-fight winning streak. Although he is an American, Davis has a strong Irish heritage and has fought his past four fights in the U.K.
