Another MMA fighter will be taking office. According to reports, Sharice Davids has won the race for Kansas’ 3rd Congressional District on Tuesday night.
Davis, a 38-year-old Democrat, unseats incumbent GOP Rep. Kevin Yoder, who served four terms in Congress. The lawyer and former MMA fighter has made history and will be the first-ever Native American woman elected to Congress.
She started out as an amateur MMA fighter in 2006, before turning professional in 2013, and going 1-1 in her career. She had trained at JacksonWink in the past, and tried out for Season 20 of The Ultimate Fighter.
