Mixed martial arts career
Davis became a professional wrestler on August 22, 2003, with a first-round TKO of Shaun Gay. Davis, who later referred to himself as "one-dimensional," was able to put together a 3–2 professional record.
Marcus was a contestant on The Ultimate Fighter 2 in 2005. In episode four, he selected Joe Stevenson, who was regarded as a hero in the event, as Davis was quickly dismissed by the eventual winner and submitted. Jason Von Flue, who sustained a cut on his forehead in practice, was later brought back to cover in episode ten, but Von Flue's cut was still healing enough in time to fight. Marcus fought on the undercard of the final, where he lost to Melvin Guillard.
Davis seriously considered retirement following the string of events, but he recovered from a shoulder injury suffered against Joe Stevenson and returned to MMA training. Davis regained control with 11 victories, including a thrilling return to the UFC at Ortiz vs. Shamrock 3: The Final Chapter.
In Davis' match against Paul Taylor at UFC 75 in London, England, he was knocked down by a strong elbow to the chest but he was able to recover, regained control, and land an armbar as Taylor fought to regain control. Marcus was crowned Night of the Night as well as the night's submission of the fight. He was given $80,000 in compensation for his success in the submission and battle of the night awards. At UFC 80 in Newcastle, England, his next fight was a highlight-reel knockout victory over fierce rival Jess Liaudin.

Davis defeated Chris Lytle at UFC 93 on January 17, 2009. Both fighters are former boxers and have been discussing a potential fight in their futures since early 2008. At UFC 89, Lytle called out Davis. He suggested that the war be held in Ireland, where Davis had a large following due to his emphasis on his Irish roots. Both fighters committed to stand and trade blows for the entire fight rather than engage in grappling. Lytle managed to stun Davis several times, but Davis won a split decision due to her superior footwork, counter-punching, and kicks. Davis was given a $40,000 bonus for his fight in the Coleman/Rua co-main event, giving him a Fight of the Night award.
Davis fought again against Dan Hardy, the up-andcoming striker. When Hardy took responsibility to Davis' defeating British-based fighters in the United Kingdom, the war became personal. Davis' website "looked like a St. Patrick's day parade had blown up," Hardy said of him, "fake Irishman" as well as a "Plastic Paddy." Hardy posted pictures of Davis on Cagewarriors.com, which resulted in several of forum members being edited in "humorous" styles. Any of these edits contained homosexual images that hit a nerve with Davis and heightened the ill-feeling between the two countries. Hardy won the fight by a narrow and controversial split decision. Davis expressed his indignation at the decision, saying, "I won the fight." I won 12 minutes of the fight, and they gave it to him? Right away, I bet you want a rematch.

Davis also stated that he was considering retirement, adding, "I'm going to finish my career at 155 and delight some people along the way before my old assassination date," Davis said. "It does make sense that I should be able to do better at that weight given that the weight difference isn't going to be so dramatic."
