Davis does not mind exchanging on the feet, and she will likely have a reach advantage to assist her in this fight. But she does not want to get involved in a straight-up kickboxing match with Sexton.
Davis will be smart to stick to technical boxing on the feet. No brawling. Utilize her jab and keep Sexton on the outside until she is ready to clinch or shoot for a takedown. She doesn't want to make a mistake and eat a big power shot from Sexton.
That will play a big role in the clinch and on the mat. Sexton will have to manage this and pick her spots when she is involved in these positions. Davis' bigger body will force Sexton to exert more energy throughout the fight.
Technique will have to come into play in positions where Davis holds the strength edge. If and when she makes a mistake and leaves a small window of opportunity, Sexton must act fast.
