LAS VEGAS — There were youngsters in their early 20s. Women who sported records like 0-1 and 2-1. Neophytes who have only been pro for a few months.
The last time Honchak stepped into a cage she was the Invicta FC flyweight champion, consensus top 125-pound female fighter and one of the best pound-for-pound women’s MMA competitors in the world, period.
That was nearly three years ago, though. Honchak has not competed since Nov. 1, 2014. On Tuesday, she joined 45 other women in trying out for The Ultimate Fighter 26 at Palace Station Hotel & Casino.
