There are two ways to get attention: scream and yell for it, or earn it by being exceptional. Given her choice, Alexis Davis will always opt for the latter. That's just part of who she is. Small-town living will do that to you.
Davis grew up in Port Colborne, Ontario, population 18,000 and change. That's not too far off of the number of people that will fill up Winnipeg's MTS Centre on Saturday to watch Davis compete against Rosi Sexton on the main card of UFC 161. It's a day she couldn't envision growing up, when sports was nearly a nonexistent part of her life. Aside from dabbling in soccer, there wasn't much in the way of athletics. She was an outdoors girl, hiking and rollerblading with friends as a means of social interaction, but that was about it. Life as a professional athlete? Not even a thought in her mind.
Then again, early on, Davis was never quite sure what she was going to do, or who she wanted to be.
