Roxanne Modafferi excited to prove growth in rematch with Jennifer Maia: ‘I’ve unlocked my next power level’

Even with 37 professional fights and 13 years in the sport of MMA, Roxanne Modafferi is not done evolving.

The former UFC, Strikeforce and Invicta FC title challenger claims to have hit a new level in her fighting career, and after recently handing Antonina Shevchenko her first professional loss in impressive fashion back in April, it’s hard to deny her.

On July 20 at UFC San Antonio in Texas, Modafferi will have a another chance to showcase her improved game. “The Happy Warrior” was originally scheduled to fight fellow veteran Liz Carmouche, but Carmouche was pulled from the bout and given a chance to challenge flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko at UFC Uruguay.
