Former Invicta FC champ Jennifer Maia picked up her first UFC win, but it sure didn’t come easy, with Alexis Davis going toe-to-toe until the bitter end. The women’s flyweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC on ESPN+ 6 event at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. It streamed on ESPN+. The two women began trading punches immediately at the start of the contest. Maia (16-5-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) seemed to be the more relaxed fighter and getting the best of those quick exchanges, but Davis (19-9 MMA, 6-4 UFC) countered by pressing to the clinch and slowing things down against the cage. Maia eventually was able to create some space, but Davis was quick to put it back against the cage.
