Filed under: News , UFC , Videos LAS VEGAS – For years, Roxanne Modafferi has been an MMA fan favorite. And the interview that followed her title loss at Friday’s The Ultimate Fighter 26 Finale was a reminder of why. After falling short in the “TUF 26” semifinals, Modafferi (21-14 MMA, 0-2 UFC) got another shot at becoming the season winner – and the UFC’s first women’s flyweight champion – when finalist Sijara Eubanks had to withdraw at the last minute . Modafferi, who was originally slated to fight Barb Honchack, stepped in to meet finalist Nicco Montano (4-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) in the night’s championship headliner instead. Modafferi hung tough until the end, and she even found a dangerous-looking armbar in the final round of a thrilling battle.
