WMMA pioneer Roxanne Modafferi confirmed her retirement from the sport after suffering a split decision defeat at UFC 271.
‘The Happy Warrior’ announced in the build-up to her fight that she planned to call it a career after fighting Casey O’Neill.
Modafferi followed through on that pledge after going to war for three rounds with the 24-year-old prospect.
Check out the highlights.
Making that walk for the final time!
