Highly touted Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Alexis “Ally-Gator” Davis made a successful UFC debut earlier this month, but her victory didn’t come as easily as some had predicted. Davis narrowly outpointed Rosi “The Surgeon” Sexton in a main-card bout at UFC 161, which took place June 15 in Winnipeg. Davis (14-5 MMA, 1-0 UFC) got off to a strong start in Round 1 and landed some nice knees in the clinch. Sexton (13-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) reversed a takedown and wound up in Davis’ guard. Davis trapped the British veteran in a tight triangle choke, but Sexton refused to submit and landed some hard right hands in the final minute. Sexton secured a takedown in the second round and landed ground and pound until Davis kicked off of the cage and took top position
