Alexis Davis announces pregnancy, UFC return delayed until late 2016

After getting back on the winning track by submitting Sarah Kaufman at UFC 186 last April (recap), Alexis Davis will be forced to postpone her mixed martial arts (MMA) career until the end of 2016.

Perhaps even later.

That's because the former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's bantamweight title contender is expecting her first child, as she recently announced on Instagram.

Big news to announce today a slight delay in my return to the octagon! I planned on spending as much time back home as possible to help with my niece anyways.
