Ffion Davies championed for Polaris 11 headline spot: ‘Maybe other girls will feel more comfortable’

Polaris’ first-ever women’s champion, Ffion Davies, called for the main event slot of Polaris 11.

The Welsh grappler told Bloody Elbow she pitched the idea of main eventing Polaris 11.

“I think it’s really important. I was really happy when the guys agreed to make it the main event,” Davies said. “I was really nervous to ask for it. I don’t like to push things much... but I thought to put the responsibility on myself and make it about women’s jiu-jitsu. If I push for it, maybe other girls will feel more comfortable to push for things and not be apologetic for it.
