UFC's Davis: Chris Lytle Doesn't Deserve to Fight Me at UFC 93

UFC welterweight “Irish Hand Grenade” Marcus Davis (15-4) told Fighters.com that he hasn’t heard anything yet about a possible match-up versus “Lights Out” Chris Lytle (26-16-5) at UFC 93 in Dublin 17 January.

Lytle had called for the match-up after winning a controversial unanimous decsion over “Relentless” Paul Taylor (9-4-1) at UFC 89 in Birmingham last weekend.

But, the lack of a contract hasn’t stopped Davis from trash talking Lytle to Eurosport.

“I don’t know whether [Lytle] deserves a fight against me.  People always say that Chris is the ‘gatekeeper’ to our division; but, I think that I am past the gate,” Davis told Eurosport Friday.

Davis tapped “Tellys” Paul Kelly (7-1) in a guillotine at 2:16 of round two at UFC 89.  Both Davis and Lytle won bonuses for their performances.

Davis added, “I have spoken to a few people who have told me that they actually think Paul Taylor won that fight against Chris.  I beat Paul in one round, so I’m just not sure.”

Davis confirmed he will fight in Dublin and said, “If [Lytle] is the fight that the UFC wants, then I am more than happy.”
