Raging Wolf Women’s Flyweight Champion Alexis Davis rebounded from her non-title loss to Elaina Maxwell in August with a quick submission victory tonight. The jiu-jitsu ace defeated Tonya Evinger for the second time with a first-round rear-naked choke in the main event of Raging Wolf 10.
Davis previously submitted Evinger in a May title fight, also with a rear-naked choke, but Evinger put on a very good showing in the bout despite taking the fight on very short notice. In the rematch, Davis showed exactly why she is the reigning champion and forced Evinger to submit in just 85 seconds.
On October 28th at Bellator 34, something happened that had never taken place before: Megumi Fujii competed in a mixed martial arts bout and her hand was not raised in victory at its conclusion. Fujii was upset by Zoila Frausto, who became Bellator 115-Pound Women’s Champion.
Unbeaten 19-year-old prospect Tay Stratford will make her long-awaited Tuff-N-Uff debut on November 12th against Team Quest’s Shauna Dugger. The featured bout will be part of an eight-woman 145-pound tournament that will crown the first Tuff-N-Uff 145-pound amateur women’s champion.
Change was the central theme of the month of November. New champions were crowned in a variety of weight classes, while former divisional leaders suffered defeats. Cain Velasquez kept his unbeaten record intact when he dethroned Brock Lesnar to become the new UFC Heavyweight Champion.
