The UFC’s inaugural women’s flyweight title fight is set and it’s a matchup that few could have predicted.
Sijara Eubanks, seeded No. 12 going into The Ultimate Fighter 26 tournament, punched her ticket to the TUF 26 Finale with a unanimous decision win over No. 1 seed Roxanne Modafferi. Eubanks will fight No. 14 seed Nicco Montano on Friday for the right to become the UFC’s first female champion at 125 pounds.
Facing a far more experienced opponent, Eubanks was able to get the better of a back-and-forth battle with timely strikes and strong grappling.
