UFC veteran Marcus Davis set for comeback fight in October

“The Irish Hand Grenade” is pulling the pin once again.

Massachussets-based MMA promotion Premiere Fighting Championship recently announced (h/t Bloody Elbow) that it has booked former UFC and Bellator fighter Marcus Davis for an upcoming show on Oct. 3 in Springfield, Mass., in a welterweight bout against Nick Alley (6-3).

Davis, 46, most recently fought on Feb. 8, 2014, at a show in Lewiston, Maine, where he lost by first-round doctor stoppage to Ryan Sanders.

Speaking to the Between Rounds Radio show earlier this week, Davis said that though he does consider this to be a comeback booking, he will take things fight-by-fight from here on out.
