It may seem as though Roxanne Modafferi’s good fortune began with her first fight in Invicta FC in 2014, when she defeated Tara LaRosa. Since that time she’s gone 4-1, rocketed herself into contention as a flyweight.
Yet her turnaround after losing six straight fights coincides with her move to Las Vegas, which itself was galvanized by her earning a spot on The Ultimate Fighter 18 a few years back. The 33-year old Modafferi, considered one of the pioneer’s in women’s MMA with a professional resume that stretches back to 2003, believes that her stint on TUF was the saving grace of her career.
