NEW YORK – UFC strawweight Loopy Godinez has set a record by just showing up and doing what she does best. If you ask her, it happened by accident.
At UFC 295 in Madison Square Garden, Godinez (12-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) set a record in the promotion by becoming the first woman to win four fights in a calendar year. She picked up a split decision win over Tabatha Ricci (9-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC), a result which had a controversial scorecard in her opponent’s favor.
Setting the record is just something that happened while simply trying to be an active fighter in the UFC who is doing what she loves.
