I honestly thought it was an early stoppage until I saw Davis completely out of it trying to take referee Yves Lavigne down for like 20 seconds before they could get her to stop and realize the fight was over. Replay showed her go limp. KO’ing someone from a side headlock position is not easy. Pretty crazy how good this girl is getting. Her aggression is unmatched in the UFC.
