This fight was an old challenge from Phoenix from a while back. The fight didn't make sense at the time, so we did it here.
This was one of those fights that is probably exciting to watch, but not exciting to read. Alexis went all-in in the first round, won it convincingly, and did damage. But she used energy. Zoila did little, and saved a lot of energy.
Round 2, Davis came out somewhat strong, and used some energy, then was tired. Zoila slowly worked away at her, doing little damage, but wearing her down.
Zoila repeated this strategy until the end of the 5th round, where she capitalized on the clear and definite advantage she had in the stamina department to quickly do enough damage to soften Davis up, then finish the fight with the sub.
Zoila Gurgel looks like she has been waiting for this fight forever.
This is the first time they meet inside the cage

This fight was an old challenge from Phoenix from a while back. The fight didn't make sense at the time, so we did it here.
This was one of those fights that is probably exciting to watch, but not exciting to read. Alexis went all-in in the first round, won it convincingly, and did damage. But she used energy. Zoila did little, and saved a lot of energy.
Round 2, Davis came out somewhat strong, and used some energy, then was tired. Zoila slowly worked away at her, doing little damage, but wearing her down.
Zoila repeated this strategy until the end of the 5th round, where she capitalized on the clear and definite advantage she had in the stamina department to quickly do enough damage to soften Davis up, then finish the fight with the sub.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
