Rosi Sexton came up short at UFC 161, but she was not supposed to win that fight. She showed her toughness and gained a lot of support.
Sexton survived multiple submissions and bad positions against Alexis Davis, and she even got in offense of her own. For a natural flyweight against one of the bantamweight division’s best, it was a good showing.
Now, the question becomes who does she face next? The UFC will want to keep her around, but competitive options are few and far between. She will constantly be facing larger opponents.
Here are five possibilities for Sexton’s next fight.
