Ronda Rousey is back in action, and this time the champion takes on No. 2-ranked contender Alexis Davis in the UFC 175 co-main event.
Rousey continued her undefeated career by destroying fellow Olympic medalist Sara McMann in just 66 seconds at UFC 170. She returns for her second trip to the Octagon in 2014 for her fourth title defense.
Davis has been selected to stand opposite Rousey because No. 1-ranked contender Cat Zingano is still on the shelf. Davis has five consecutive victories to her credit, with three of those coming inside the UFC’s cage. Now she gets the chance to shock the world.
Rousey will face her second-ever jiu-jitsu black belt in this fight, but will it be different from the first? Can Davis take home gold and deliver a seismic shock to the division? We will find out this Saturday.
Let’s begin the breakdown of the women’s bantamweight championship tilt.
