A women’s flyweight matchup between rising prospect Maycee Barber and former title challenger Roxanne Modafferi is in the works for the UFC’s first PPV of 2020.
MMA Junkie first reported the potential matchup for UFC 246. The 21-year-old Barber has most recently made headlines for claiming Paige VanZant turned down a fight with her as she “didn’t want to have her face damaged.”
Barber (8-0) landed herself a UFC contract in July of last year after picking up a third-round stoppage on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series. Winning her UFC debut by second-round TKO in November 2018, she has since picked up TKOs over JJ Aldrich and Gillian Robertson.
