HOUSTON – Roxanne Modafferi didn’t get the result she hoped for, but she’s still happy with her farewell from professional fighting.
The longtime fighter retired Saturday after a nearly 20-year career in MMA. Modafferi (25-20 MMA, 4-8 UFC) engaged in a gritty, hard-fought battle against Casey O’Neill on the preliminary card of UFC 271. Although Modafferi displayed heart, she came up short on the judges’ scorecards and lost a split decision.
“The Happy Warrior” thought she did enough to get the nod from the judges, but either way, is happy with how she performed in her final fight.
