Bellator 155’s Alexis Dufresne: ‘Nobody Saw the Real Me’ in the UFC

It’s been almost a year-and-a-half since Alexis Dufresne last climbed into the cage to put in an honest day’s work.

The Team Quest fighter dropped a unanimous decision to Marion Reneau at UFC 182, which was her second consecutive loss. To add salt to the wound of defeat, Dufresne, who had missed weight for the second straight fight as well, was subsequently released from the UFC.

In the meantime, the Californian used her time away from combat to not only reflect on what had gone wrong in her last two fights but to also start a family.
