Davis war im MMA nicht so sonderlich erfolgreich. Dafür hat es jetzt mit dem Einzug in den Congress geklappt - vermutlich:

The 37-year-old is one of the Democrats running against Republican Kevin Yoder in Kansas’s third congressional district. Since her campaign took off, Davids has received support from the American political action committee, Emily’s List, which announced it was putting $400,000 of Super Pac money behind her. Should Davids win Tuesday’s Democratic primary, she will run against Yoder in the general election on 6 November. As a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation, a Native American tribe in Wisconsin, Davids also has the opportunity to make history as the first Native American woman to win a seat in the US Congress.

For Davids, her dual lifestyle as a public servant and a fighter has existed since college. “I had my first [amateur] fight towards the end of 2006 and I finished my bachelor’s degree in May of 2007,” Davids tells the Guardian during a telephone interview.

As a child, Davids was fascinated with martial arts. She was obsessed with Bruce Lee, admiring his work ethic and discipline, and mimicked him by wearing a black belt around the house. However, despite her fascination with Lee, Davids did not begin practicing martial arts until she was a 19-year-old college student.

“I didn’t get to train because I was raised by a single mom,” Davids says, recalling her childhood. “There were three of us and it was just too expensive to pay for me to do martial arts practice.”

Davids started by learning capoeira and karate. She then moved on to taekwondo with a coach who had experience training MMA professionals. After several months together, the coach asked if she would be interested in fighting in a local MMA event. Davids had little interest in participating in what she believed was a barbaric sport. Over time, however, Davids learned more about the sport, as well as the training regimen that fighters go through in preparation for bouts.

By 2006, Davids was prepared to take a leap of faith. She made her amateur debut at the International Sport Combat Federation’s Midwest FightFest, and won in less than a minute. Victory was exhilarating but Davids decided to instead to focus on her studies at Cornell law school. She knew better than to try to make a career out of the sport she had grown to love.
