UFC Gray Maynard jokes that he doesn't even know his professional fighting record; maybe, he says, he should write it in the "Notes" application of his iPhone.

The lightweight contender used to keep score of such things. As a wrestler, he put a heap of pressure on himself to take home a new accolade in every season.

But as an MMA title shot with champ Frankie Edgar looms, Maynard has taken a much more relaxed approach to the fight game.

Marcus Davis “The Irish Hand Gernade” is set to take on long limbed Gracie fighter Nate Diaz as part of the upcoming UFC 118: Edgar vs Penn II card, and the 36 year old fighter will look to continue to deliver fan friendly fights. While his overall record in the UFC is 8-3 his age, mixed with a 1-2 recent record(although he’s coming off a victory over Jonathan Goulet via TKO at UFC 113: Machida vs. Shogun 2) makes each fight that much more important to his career. He broke down his view of fighting wrestlers, and his thoughts on his upcoming fight with Nick Diaz when he spoke to Heavy.com:

“That’s what I hunt for, fights that make sense. It doesn’t make sense for me to fight wrestlers that are going to try to take me down and lay on top of me and try to grind out a decision just by being safe. It makes more sense for me to be fighting the guys that are going to fight a little bit on the ground, but are also going to fight standing up. Don’t get me wrong, it’s MMA and I do enjoy the whole aspect of it, but I don’t like the laying and praying stuff. Yeah, we are supposed to win fights, but our job is to entertain. That’s what we are. We’re entertainers. I think that we can entertain a lot of people that night.”

“He’s similar to me as far as what he uses in his arsenal. I think that what Diaz does for his boxing, being long, throwing out his lead left hand a lot, he has some good things that he does. But I have more tools. I have better footwork. He moves forwards and backwards. I move side to side. I’m good at closing the gap quickly and getting my shots off and getting back out. I think that I’m the more powerful puncher. I don’t think there is any question about that. I hit guys with one shot and they go out. As far as boxing skill goes, I think I have the advantage there.”

Davis may not be championship material, but his “Fight of the Night” or “KO of the Night” mentality has made him a fan favorite, and you can bet that droves of those same fans will be rooting for him at UFC 118. UFC 118: Edgar Vs. Penn II takes place on August 28, 2010 at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, and the event will also host the 3rd UFC Fan Expo.
