Five bouts announced for UFC Fresno, including Alexis Davis vs. Liz Carmouche

On Thursday, the UFC officially announced five fights for their debut in Fresno.

Alexis Davis and Liz Carmouche will meet in a women’s flyweight battle between two one-time bantamweight title challengers. Their encounter at UFC Fresno will mark their first appearances at 125 pounds inside the Octagon and it will also be a rematch of a November 2013 encounter that Davis won by unanimous decision.

Davis (18-7) has already competed once in 2017, taking a unanimous decision over Cindy Dandois at UFC Nashville this past April. The Port Colborne, Ontario-native has alternated wins and losses in her past five, which also includes victories over Sarah Kaufman and Jessica Eye, and a title fight loss to Ronda Rousey.

For Carmouche (11-5), this will be her first fight since UFC 205 last November, where she defeated Katlyn Chookagian by split decision. “Girl-Rilla” is currently on a two-fight win streak.

Also announced were a lightweight bout between Scott Holtzman (10-2) and Darrell Horcher (13-2), a middleweight bout between Antonio Braga Neto (9-2) and Trevin Giles (10-0), a flyweight bout between Alex Perez (18-4) and Carls John de Tomas (8-1), and a previously confirmed middleweight bout between Eryk Anders (9-0) and John Phillips (21-6).

UFC Fight Night 123 will be hosted at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif. on Dec. 9.
