The 29-year-old from Port Colborne, Ont., who trains out of San Diego, will fight bantamweight champion (Rowdy) Ronda Rousey on July 5 in the co-main event of UFC 175 in Las Vegas. UFC president Dana White announced the matchup Friday night via Twitter. Davis responded via the same medium. "Somebody pinch me because I think Im still dreaming!! Lol. Christmas is coming July 5th in Vegas," she tweeted. Rousey (9-0) is the face of womens mixed martial arts and arguably the UFCs current biggest star. It will mark the 27-year-old Rouseys fourth title defence. She has already disposed of Liz (Girlrilla) Carmouche, Miesha (Cupcake) Tate and Sara McMann. Davis is looking to join a select Canadian group of UFC title-holders or challengers. Montreals Georges St-Pierre was the longtime UFC welterweight champion before vacating his title in December to take some time away from the sport. Carlos (The Ronin) Newton of Newmarket, Ont., held the welterweight title in 2001. And Montreals Patrick (The Predator) Cote lost his middleweight title shot against Anderson Silva at UFC 90 in October 2008. Silva won by third-round TKO when Cote was unable to continue due to a knee injury. Canadians Harold Howard and Dave Beneteau were runners-up in the UFC 3 and 5 tournaments, respectively. Davis (16-5) has won eight of her last nine fights including all three in the UFC. But she faces a step up in class in Rousey, an Olympic judo bronze medallist who is the only 135-pound womens champion the UFC has ever had. Rousey has won eight of her nine fights in the first round, with eight of the wins via armbar. A pro since 2007, Daviss last loss was via majority decision in a March 2012 rematch in Strikeforce with Victorias Sarah Kaufman, currently No. 5 in the womens rankings. Davis, who has black belts in both traditional and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, has already beaten UFC opponents Carmouche, Rosi (The Surgeon) Sexton, and Jessica (Evil) Eye to rise to No. 2 in the rankings. No. 1 contender Cat Zingano has been sidelined by knee surgery and subsequent complications. The five-foot-five Davis started kick-boxing with a friend, then made the move to jiu-jitsu at 18. She switched to MMA after watching someone else in her gym training. Chris Weidman defends his UFC middleweight title against Lyoto (The Dragon) Machida in the UFC 175 main event.

Last Saturday, Price frustrated the Colorado Avalanche with a 32-save performance, and he limited the Detroit Red Wings to one goal on 28 shots on Tuesday.Hes playing unbelievably, said Max Pacioretty, who had a goal and an assist in Montreals Conference-best seventh win of the season. When you see him lead the way like that, it obviously gives us confidence and gives us motivation. It seems like weve been talking about the same thing for at least two years.It really is an honour to have a guy like that kicking for you.With the score knotted at 1-1 midway through the second period, Price stoned New Yorks Derick Brassard as he rushed out of the penalty box. Montreals Lars Eller scored the go-ahead goal just seconds later.At 11:14 of the third, Price made back-to-back saves on Martin St. Louis and John Moore to preserve Montreals two-goal lead. And with 90 seconds remaining on the clock, Price made a dramatic pad save on Dan Girardi to kill any hope of a New York comeback.Hes playing like one of the top goalies in the league, said Montreal head coach Michel Therrien. And tonight was no different.Hes calm. Hes a good leader for us. He gives us the confidence to attack every game with a chance to win.Added Eller: Hes playing like Carey Price. He spreads confidence to the defenders. He makes it look really easy. Were fortunate to have him back there.The only blemish on the night for Price was conceding a game-tying goal at 17:07 of the first period. With the Habs up 1-0, Price made a pad save on Girardis shot from the point, but kicked the puck right to a wide-open Carl Hagelin.The Rangers (4-4), however, wouldnt add another past Montreal in the teams first meeting since New York knocked the Canadiens out of last years Eastern Conference final in six games. The first game of that series also saw Ranger Chris Kreider injure Price for the remainder of the playoffs.The Habs (7-1-0) got a bit of revenge for their post-season exit on Saturday night, as Therriens men halted New Yorks three-game winning streak. Montreal is now 8-2-0 in their last 10 regular season games against the Rangers.Were a confident hockey club, we enjoy putting the work in, and we stick up for each other, said Price. Were not trying to do anything special, were just trying to have fun and get the job done.Montreal, still undefeated at home so far this year (4-0), secured two points when Eller got his stick on a loose puckk in front of the net and slotted it home between Henrik Lundqvists pads. Air Max 270 Clearance. The Swede, who frustrated the Canadiens for much of last years intense playoff series, stopped 27-of-30 shots in defeat.You have to go to the net, and we did that very well tonight, said Eller, who scored his first of the season. Sooner or later its going to go in. A lot of the times, you dont score too many pretty goals anymore.After possibly the teams best start to a game this season, Tomas Plekanec scored a pretty goal in the first period for Montreal on a shorthanded, two-man breakaway.With Manny Malhotra in the box for holding, Plekanec capitalized on a New York mistake at the blue-line, poking the puck past an overly aggressive Ryan McDonagh along the boards. With all five Rangers in the offensive zone and acres of space in front of them, Plekanec and Pacioretty fooled Lundqvist with four quick passes before the Czech fired home his team-leading fifth of the season.A 2-on-0 like that, its a little less nerve racking than a breakaway, said Pacioretty. I was happy to give it over to Plecky. We all have confidence in each other right now, and that play kind of showed it. It sucked the momentum out of them.With the goal, Plekanec tied Habs legend Yvon Lambert for 27th on Montreals all-time scoring list.After Eller put the Canadiens in front at 11:46 of the second, Pacioretty added a third for Montreal at 6:35 of the final period when Dale Weise, from behind the net, found the left-winger all alone in the slot. The assist was Weises second of the game - his first two points of the season.We had a push in the third, but obviously it wasnt good enough, said Rangers coach Alain Vigneault. We werent good enough in front of their net. We just couldnt capitalize on those second chances in front of Price.In just his sixth NHL game, Montreal-born rookie Anthony Duclair finished with one assist and three shots. The 19-year-old winger, whose friends and family were in the stands, now has four assists this season. He was named third star of the game.Prior to puck drop, fans at the Bell Centre observed a moment of silence to honour Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, two Canadian soldiers who were killed in separate attacks this week in Ottawa and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que.Notes: The game was Therriens 600th as an NHL head coach. … Jiri Sekac was not in the lineup for the Canadiens, as the youngster sat for the second consecutive match. … The Habs managed to contain the high-flying Rick Nash, who has scored eight of New Yorks 22 goals.
