Pannie Kianzad (14-5) vs Alexis Davis (20-10)
Women’s Bantamweight (135)
Pannie Kianzad
Three W’s in a row? Kianzad is burning hot after her torrid start to the UFC. Sharpening her boxing on the outside, Kianzad has also patched up her clinch work with effective dirty boxing. A lack of feints and robotic movement, however, allows opponents (i.e. Jessica Rose-Clark) to land hard counters. Kianzad’s strong left hook will catch Davis when she inevitably turtles down into her high guard.
Alexis Davis
Stopping a three-fight slide just a few months ago, the former Bantamweight challenger turned back the clocks against Sabina Mazo. Managing to stay threatening in a constantly evolving division, Davis dominates the pace of a fight through her technical chops. Late takedowns, low kicks and grinding clinch work all secure rounds on the cards.
