Alex Davis MMA Reform

Alex has also started writing for MMA news outlets. He has been outspoken about his criticism of the Brazilian MMA commission and about the difficulty that fighters face after getting fame and how the lack of opportunities in MMA can cause many fighters to give up early and thus decrease the talent pool in MMA.

Davis has been a staunch supporter of reform in MMA and has proposed many changes like announcing scores between rounds, giving the judges accurate strike counts, and only letting them decide on the subjectivity of the fight. He has proposed creating a grading system for fights based on entertainment and adopting a system that discourages extreme dehydration for making weight.
