Ronda Rousey defends title against Alexis Davis at UFC 175
By: mmafighting.com
In a Friday night tweet which came out of the blue, UFC president Dana White announced that Rousey will defend her women’s bantamweight title against Alexis Davis at UFC 175 on July 5 in Las Vegas.
The bout will be the third title defense in just over six months for Rousey (9-0). She defeated Miesha Tate via third-round armbar at UFC 168 on Dec. 28 and Sara McMann via first-round TKO in the main event of UFC 170. Since then, she’s been filming her role in the upcoming “Entourage” movie.
While all the conjecture about future opponents for Rousey have included talk about Carano, the first big women’s MMA star, former Strikeforce champ Cris Cyborg, and even Holly Holm, Davis has actually gone about building her case the old-fashioned way. The Port Colborne, Ont. native is 16-5 and has won five consecutive bouts, including a split decision over Jessica Eye at UFC 170.
