Canadian Alexis (Ally-Gator) Davis says she is star-struck just to be part of the UFC. But the 28-year-old from Port Colborne, Ont., wont feel like a card-carrying member of MMAs largest promotion until she steps into the cage Saturday night at UFC 161 in Winnipeg. Davis (13-5) takes on English veteran Rosi (The Surgeon) Sexton on the MTS Centre card headlined by light-heavyweights Dan Henderson and Rashad Evans. A pro since 2007, Davis has won five of her last six fights. The only blemish during that run came in her March 2012 rematch in Strikeforce with Victorias Sarah Kaufman which she lost by majority decision. Davis went 2-1 in Strikeforce, which was bought by the UFC, and then signed a multi-fight deal with the UFC. Kaufman, who is slated to face Sara McMann on Aug. 28 in Indianapolis, and Davis are part of the 13-woman bantamweight division currently ruled by (Rowdy) Ronda Rousey. Davis, who has moved to San Jose to train, says not much has changed since her switch to the UFC. "My family still treats me exactly the same way, still gives me a hard time," she said with a chuckle. "Im a pretty laidback person ... I kind of stay under the radar. It makes me want to blush when people say Youre a UFC fighter and I say yeah. I dont go round bragging about it because for me I dont really consider myself a (UFC) fighter until Im in that ring. I havent had that yet. "Once I experience that, the reality will start to sink in. But pretty much most things have remained the same." A veteran of Strikeforce and Invicta, she got a taste of the UFC when the promotion flew her to Anaheim and then Winnipeg for news conferences. While in Anaheim, she got to see her first UFC show live as Rousey submitted Liz Carmouche in the first round at UFC 157 in February. She was also given tickets to the April show in San Jose. Davis is no stranger to fighting in Winnipeg and welcomes her return to the Manitoba capital. "For me its huge," Davis said. "Obviously its my debut in the UFC but Winnipeg is where I had my very first fight against (Sarah) Kaufman so its kind of interesting that Im heading back there." Davis evened her Winnipeg record at 1-1 in 2008 when she submitted Kate Roy in the first round. Saturday marks her first fight in Canada since. The 35-year-old Sexton (13-2) is a British pioneer of the sport, who has moved up in weight to take advantage of the UFC opportunity at 135 pounds. "Shes a very dynamic fighter," said Davis. "Shes got endless cardio. ... Shes like the Energizer Bunny." Sexton is equally complimentary. "I actually like Alexis a lot," she said. "I think shes fantastic fighter. Shes got some really good grappling. Im excited to be fighting her because I think its a great challenge. Its going to be a really interesting fight to see how her grappling matches up against my grappling." Davis, who has black belts in both traditional and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, takes pride in her improvement as a standup fighter. She has gone from rushing in like an Exocet missile to picking when to attack, from what range, and working in head movement. The five-foot-five Davis started kick-boxing with a friend, then made the move to jiu-jitsu at 18. She switched to MMA after watching someone else in her gym training.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- The lone Russian track and field athlete at the Olympics has won her appeal to compete at the Rio de Janeiro Games.The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled early Monday that Darya Klishina is eligible to take part in Tuesdays long jump qualifying because she has been based outside of Russia for the last three years and has been subjected to regular drug testing.With the appeal now behind me, I can thankfully focus my time and attention on competing tomorrow night and enjoying my Olympic experience, which I have dreamed of since I first began long jumping as a young girl, Klishina said in a post on her Facebook page.She was the only one of 68 Russians cleared to participate in Rio by the IAAF, track and fields governing body. It tried to ban her from the Olympics last week, however, after receiving what it said was new information from World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren.The IAAF has not disclosed what new information it has.CAS, however, concluded that Klishina complied with the relevant criteria because of her permanent residence outside Russia ... despite the additional information provided by Prof. McLaren.Relevantly, the athlete established that she was subject to fully compliant drug-testing in- and out-of-competition outside of Russia for the `relevant period.The IAAF on Monday issued a short statement accepting the ruling.We iinstigated a review process following new evidence presented to us, it said.dddddddddddd The outcome we reached to revoke Darya Klishinas exceptional eligibility was not upheld by CAS despite the information received from McLaren and she is therefore eligible to compete in Rio.Klishina attended Sundays hearing in person at the courts temporary base at a beachfront hotel in Rio, then trained near the Olympic Stadium on Sunday night while awaiting the courts decision.The long jump final is scheduled for Wednesday.Unlike in previous legal battles over Russian doping, the Russian Sports Ministry and the countrys Olympic committee have taken a back seat in Klishinas case, with her American management company in a leading role.In comments to the R-Sport news agency before the decision was announced, Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said the accusations against Klishina were part of a campaign directed against Russian sport, to discredit it. Its beyond the realm of common sense.The rest of the Russian track team remains banned from all international competition over allegations of a widespread, state-sponsored doping program. The sanction was upheld for the Olympics by CAS last month.---AP Sports Writer Stephen Wilson contributed to this report. ' ' '
