  • UFC is really knocking it out of the park with content like this. How could you not root for this guy?

  • Marcus expresses himself very well. Credit to his mother for getting out of the D, and to himself for creating a better life for his family.

  • I ain't even gonna say anything about him looking 65..lol he's a sweetheart of a guy, he's super good, i'm glad he made it to the big show. I did pick him to win for the few fights that he's had, he hasn't let me down yet. I would like to see him drop the Maniac and lean into Marvelous Marcus McGhee, Maniac doesn't suit him.

  • I’m so happy that they have covered his story this quickly. What people don’t understand about a life of crime and gangs, is that you can’t say everything that has happened to you. And you will never be able to tell outsiders the worst. Especially the ones your close to. Because it’s so many times that if you mention who you are around, or what you have done, you understand that all the real enemies that will take your life are watching your success that will only live to end your life. And it’s many sins that you will never be able to share, for the safety of your freedom and existence. When I listen to Marcus there is a lot of crazier trials that he has had to stomach, that might never escape the mind. On top of that, even if you were able to share the truth, no one will believe you. I’m so fortunate to witness someone like him be able to miraculously make it out and deliver his message to as many people as he is able to.

  • Why not pay the fighters a livable contract instead of profiting off this dudes trauma. Why doesn’t the UFC talk about how good Marcus is defensively, or how well placed his punches are? It’s because UFC sells KOs and STORIES, they don’t sell SKILLSET or WINNING (Demetrius Johnson).
