Ever since the UFC announced that women’s fighters were coming to compete in the Octagon, the bouts that have taken place in the division have all felt like something special was happening. For years and years, UFC president Dana White said that women’s fighting just wasn’t evolved yet, with enough stars to promote an entire division in his organization.  White gladly ate his words with the emergence of current women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey , and now with the entire division thriving, it appears women’s MMA is here to stay in the UFC. From Rousey’s debut against Liz Carmouche, to the epic back and forth battle between Cat Zingano and Miesha Tate, to the debut of former Olympic silver medalist Sara McMann—the women have arrived in a big, big way. UFC 161 fighter Alexis Davis has been watching this show the entire time because she was one of the first fighters the promotion signed after entering the women’s MMA fray.  She was front and center for Rousey’s debut win while headlining a pay-per-view card, and this weekend she will be part of the first international UFC event with women on the main card. As much as the spotlight has been shone down on the women’s fighters, Davis refuses to look at her upcoming bout against Rosi Sexton as anything more than just another trip to the cage. “This just feels like another fight,” Davis told Bleacher Report, an official MMAWeekly.com content partner.  “Even when they sent us out to watch (Ronda) Rousey and (Liz) Carmouche, and we got to go behind the scenes, I felt like I was back at Strikeforce.  It could be different by the time I get there, but I don’t think the nerves will get to me quite as much.” The attention and the reception of women’s fighting in the UFC has been nothing less than positive.  Each bout has almost been treated like a main event of its own, and there always seems to be something extra on the line every time a woman steps foot in the Octagon. There was some worry when White said that the promotion was getting into women’s MMA solely because of Rousey’s star power and skill in the cage, that the other fighters would basically act as a feeder system into her title fights.  Davis says the hype surrounding women’s MMA in the UFC has been nothing less than fantastic, and it hasn’t circled around only one fighter thus far
