This afternoon the UFC announced several matches for UFC Fight Night 123 Dec. 9 at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, CA. One of those matches will have Alexis Davis vs Liz Carmouche at Flyweight. Both were one time Bantamweight title contenders. We're seeing a lot of weight class switching. In many cases, it's a shortcut. Like Lauren Murphy on TUF 26 dropped to Flyweight. She's still a terrible fighter at any weight class. These two have fought before. Alexis won by unanimous decision on Nov. 6, 2013. Since then she took time off to have a baby. She's had two fights since her return. She lost to Sara McMann by submission. And then she beat Cindy Dandois in a fight that was so bad that Cindy was released. Alexis fought at Flyweight when she started out in Canada ten years ago. She hasn't fought at 125 in a long time. She was a decent fighter a few years ago. This fight could answer if she can still fight or she doesn't have it anymore. Liz has never fought at 125 before. I don't know if dropping a weight class will help her. I don't think she's that good anyway. For me, she's a mid card fighter at best. She only got title shots due to timing and circumstances. In her last fight, she beat Katlyn Chookagian by split decision. Liz should have had an easier time because Katlyn is a Flyweight. I don't think Liz has performed very well in a while. These two have been around and fans may remember the names. But when was the last time either had a decent fight. Obviously I have low expectations for this fight.
