UFC 89- Will Marcus Davis be introduced as "Marcus 'The Irish Hand Grenade' Davis"?

The question specifically says "Marcus 'The Irish Hand Grenade' Davis" but he was introduced as "'The Irish Hand Grenade' Marcus Davis." Not exactly why I expected the result to be no but technically he was NOT introduced as "Marcus 'The Irish Hand Grenade' Davis."

Settlement requested Sun 2nd Nov 11:10am PST by pulloverthatasstoophat: OK, I finally found something that I believe this can be settled on. It's a video in which one of the announcers refers to Marcus Davis as "The Irish Hand Grenade." He was introduced as "The Irish Hand Grenade" (I watched it live) but finding the introduction is very hard.

Settlement requested Sun 2nd Nov 12:11pm PST by pulloverthatasstoophat: Looking at the introduction again this question should technically be settled as "No." The question specifically says "Marcus 'The Irish Hand Grenade' Davis" but he was introduced as "'The Irish Hand Grenade' Marcus Davis." Not exactly why I expected the result to be no but technically he was NOT introduced as "Marcus 'The Irish Hand Grenade' Davis."

Settled as 'Yes' Sun 2nd Nov 12:12pm PST by mrperfkt: Announced at about 5:25.
