A split decision loss against Casey O’Neil marked the ending chapter in the career of UFC vet Roxanne Modafferi. Modafferi started her MMA journey in 2013 – when there were seldom any female MMA fighters around. At age 39 she is ready to hang it up.
Modafferi has always been a positive upbeat personality and that had plenty of good sportsmanship to boot.
