Coming off their first UFC wins, Liz Carmouche and Alexis Davis have their sights set on the winner of an upcoming title fight between women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate.
Carmouche is only one fight removed from a submission loss to Rousey. However, with Cat Zingano recovering from knee injuries, an impressive win over Davis at UFC Fight for the Troops 3 could be enough to earn “Girlrilla” another title shot, especially should Tate upset Rousey at UFC 168.
Davis has won six of her past seven fights, with her only loss during that time coming via a narrow decision against former Strikeforce champion Sarah Kaufman. Even a close win over Carmouche on Wednesday could position Davis near the front of the line for a shot at the lone UFC female belt.
As this important women’s bantamweight bout approaches, here is a closer look at how Carmouche and Davis match up in all areas.
