QUOTES

Alexis Davis:
“I thought my performance was good. I could see by the look in her eye that she wasn’t going to go down easily. You find things you do wrong in both wins and losses and I definitely had my share of mistakes tonight. Jessica was a lot stronger than I expected her to be. Even on the ground when she was holding my wrist I was having the toughest time trying to wrestle it away from her. I think it’s my time to shine. I’ve won all three of my fights in the UFC against the top competition. I believe I’ve earned a shot at the title and I’d love the chance to get that belt.”
