SABINA MAZO VS ALEXIS DAVIS LOWDOWN
Sabina Mazo (9-1) is another exciting prospect and has started her career at flyweight. The 23-year-old suffered the first loss of her career on her UFC debut losing a unanimous decision to Maryna Moroz but she has steadily improved since. She returned with a much more comfortable outing and unanimous decision over Shana Dobson and followed it up with a closer split decision win over JJ Aldrich. She is now coming off her most impressive performance in submitting Justine Kish back in September.
Part of the first crop of female UFC fighters, Alexis Davis (19-10) is at the other end of her career and struggling to keep afloat among the new breed. Her last wins were in 2017 earning decisions over Cindy Dandois and Liz Carmouche but she has become the gatekeeper of the division losing three unanimous decisions in a row to Katlyn Chookagian, Jennifer Maia and Viviane Araujo.
SABINA MAZO VS ALEXIS DAVIS PREDICTION
This is a great match-up for Mazo as Davis has all the experience but is past her best, so this is a great opportunity to build her stock. They also both move up to bantamweight so it will be very interesting to see how they look.
We expect Davis to look better up at 135 lbs and you cannot count her out with her experience. Mazo is improving with every fight but Davis has the nous to take the fight away from Mazo by tying her up and keeping her pinned to the cage.
That said, we firmly back the favourite who may not be as technical as Davis but is a lot more dangerous on the feet especially with her kicks and has the speed to outland Davis to a decision.
