from Grokipedia
Doug Marshall is an American former professional mixed martial artist known for his devastating knockout power and his success in the World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) promotion, where he held the Light Heavyweight Championship. Nicknamed "The Rhino" for his aggressive, hard-hitting style, Marshall competed professionally from 2003 to 2014 across multiple organizations, including Bellator MMA, where he challenged for the middleweight title. His career was marked by exciting, finish-heavy bouts that often ended quickly due to his striking prowess. Marshall first rose to prominence in the WEC, capturing the Light Heavyweight Championship in 2006 with a second-round TKO victory over Lodune Sincaid and defending it twice in subsequent fights before losing the belt to Brian Stann in 2008. After the WEC's absorption into the UFC, Marshall transitioned to middleweight and found renewed success in Bellator, stringing together key wins that earned him a title shot against Alexander Shlemenko in 2013, though he was stopped in the first round. Marshall retired from professional competition after his final fight in September 2014 against Melvin Manhoef in Bellator. Throughout his career, he established himself as a fan-favorite fighter capable of delivering highlight-reel knockouts in major promotions.
