Pannie Kianzad and Alexis Davis will clash in a bantamweight fight on the early prelims of UFC 263. As both fighters won their last contest, another win will catapult either lady further up the rankings.

‘Banzai’ has been fighting in the UFC since 2018. The former Invicta FC fighter has won 3 out of her 5 fights in the promotion. Since her UFC 239 loss to Julia Avila, Kianzad has put together a 3-fight winning streak at 135. Her last win was a decision against Sijara Eubanks.

The Canadian, Davis, broke her 3-fight skid in her last fight against Sabina Mazo. ‘Ally-Gator’ has been a UFC veteran since 2013. She happens to be one of the few fighters to finish the consensus G.O.A.T., Amanda Nunes. Despite having immense promise during the early days of her career, Davis’s MMA run hasn’t turned out the way she would have wanted it to.

‘Banzai’ has a professional record of 14-5 with 3 T/KO finishes under her belt. Davis’s record stands at 20-10 with 10 finishes (2 T/KO and 8 submissions).

Pannie Kianzad vs Alexis Davis: Analysis

The 29-year-old Swede, Kianzad, has proved her mettle during her stint in the promotion. Despite her age, she has a lot of experience under her belt.

The 36-year-old veteran, Davis, showed her grappling accolades in her last fight. Despite being outclassed a bit by Mazo on the feet, ‘Ally-Gator’ managed to take her opponent to the ground and eventually ground out a decision in her favor.

Davis will look to employ a similar sort of game plan against Kianzad. But ‘Banzai‘ is very sound on the feet. That can cause ‘Ally-Gator’ problems early in the fight.

However, she should be able to use her vast experience and eventually take the fight to the mat.

Final Prediction: Alexis ‘Ally-gator’ Davis by decision.
