She competed back when women's MMA wasn't popular and fights were hard to find. She fought in many organizations throughout her career before finishing things up in the UFC.

Roxanne Modafferi fought in Strikeforce, Invicta FC, and many other organizations in the world. She also competed on The Ultimate Fighter two times in 2013 and 2017.

Her last time competing on the show saw her earn a UFC contract and finish out her career in the premier organization. She would on to fight eight times with a ninth fight set to round things out at UFC 271.

Casey O'Neill will look to keep her hype train going and spoil the retirement part at UFC 271. Roxanne Modafferi is a craft veteran that has shut down many prospects including Maycee Barber and Antonina Shevchenko.
