Interview with Nick Alley above

Nick Alley (6-3) discusses his welterweight fight against Marcus Davis (22-11) at Premier FC 31 on October 3. Nick also talks about how this welterweight matchup came together, working as a mechanic for his day job and how close he is to a UFC call up. When Nick was very surprised to have this matchup but is excited about the opportunity at hand.

“Originally when they pitched it to me I was pretty surprised. My coach said ‘How do you feel about fighting Marcus Davis?” I was like “Wait a minute who? Marcus Davis, Marcus Davis? He was like ‘Yeah he’s going to do another fight.’ I was like “F–k yeah’ As soon as he said that Marcus Davis I was like ‘I’m down.’ I mean you don’t get a lot of opportunities to fight somebody that’s like a legend in the sport.”
