After losing in his lightweight debut at UFC 125, longtime UFC star Marcus Davis has been cut, his manager Joe Cavallaro confirmed to MMA Fighting.
After a strong opening two rounds in his bout with Jeremy Stephens, Davis was knocked out midway through the third round.

It’s not like we didn’t see this coming. After Phil Baroni and Antonio McKee lost their jobs, there was no way that the axe wasn’t going to drop again on UFC 125‘s other repeat-losers. Here’s the latest…
Brandon Vera: The Truth has been released from his UFC contract after his shutout decision loss to Thiago Silva, which represented Vera’s third consecutive defeat, and sixth loss in his last nine outings. Due to the nasty broken nose he suffered last weekend, Vera won’t be able to compete anywhere until March 3rd at the earliest.
Marcus Davis: The Irish Hand Grenade has also been bounced out of the Octagon. Davis’s knockout loss against Jeremy Stephens was his fifth loss in his last eight attempts, and second-straight defeat by stoppage. The TUF 2 vet was hoping to re-invent himself as a lightweight, and had controlled Stephens in the first two rounds before having his lights put out in the third. Davis is one of only eight UFC fighters who have earned five or more performance bonuses.
Instead of piling on the abuse, let’s remember Vera and Davis for the dangerous, exciting fighters they used to be before their luck abruptly ran out. Video proof is after the jump…

Brandon Vera, Frankie Edgar, Marcus Davis and Phil Baroni were issued medical suspensions related to nasal fractures suffered from their respective fights Saturday at UFC 125 in Las Vegas.
Although Vera had the most visible nose damage, all four were received the same medical suspension from the Nevada athletic commission. The fighters must have their nasal fracture cleared by a doctor or they will not be allowed to fight until July 1. They must serve a minimum suspension until March 3 and are not allowed contact until Feb. 16.
Edgar was the only one of the four who did not lose at UFC 125. His opponent Gray Maynard emerged out of the championship draw with only facial lacerations and will be suspended until Feb. 1 with no contact until Jan. 23.

("Whaddya mean we got four more rounds? I thought this fight was supposed to be a boring wrestlefest.")
Well, UFC 125 is in the books and to say fans got a few surprises from the card that many had written off as being an inevitable snoozefest would be an understatement.
The main event lightweight championship bout between champ Frankie Edgar and apt challenger Gray Maynard, which ended in a hotly debated split draw, delivered the goods earning well-deserved Fight of the Night honors.
According to UFC president Dana White, because the fight, which he admitted could have been stopped in the opening frame, was so close and because so many fans want to see the rubber match, he reversed the announcement made by UFC vice president Craig Borsari at the post-fight press conference that Anthony Pettis is next in line for a shot at Edgar’s crown and says he will instead be slotting in Edgar-Maynard III for some time in early 2011.

When we look at the UFC 125 lineup, what we see is a host of fights that are painfully difficult to call. Of the 11 bouts slated for Saturday night, only three feature a fighter coming off a loss.
That’s good news for those of us who are hoping to start 2011 off with a night of competitive fights, but it means that the Cut List is a short one this time around, featuring only three fighters who are teetering on the precipice of unemployment.
Who are they, and what do they need to do to keep their jobs in 2011? The answers await you below.

The UFC this weekend will make its live network television debut and it’s on a channel you wouldn’t have expected. The UFC announced Monday that the UFC 125 Prelims this Saturday will be televised on ION television at 8:55 p.m. ET.
“I am excited for our fans because I’ve been looking for ways to broadcast UFC prelims free and to as many homes as possible,” UFC President Dana White stated. “ION is the largest broadcast television station group in the U.S. and this deal will put the UFC prelims in almost 100 million homes.”
