Roxanne Modafferi

Up next at UFC Vegas 10 we have a fight between two flyweight contenders. MMA veteran Roxanne Modafferi is looking to get back in the win column after dropping a decision against Lauren Murphy. Andrea Lee is trying to do the same losing to Murphy and Joanne Calderwood.

Round 1: Andrea Lee loses her mouthpiece early. She pops it back in and we are back underway. Roxanne Modafferi catches a kick and shoots for the takedown. Lee defends well and it’s not long before the two fighters are back in striking range. Modafferi shoots again but the position is reversed and it’s Lee who ends up on top. ‘The Happy Warrior’ takes her times but ultimately gets back to her feet before immediately securing her own takedown. Modafferi is doing a great job to maintain top position and deliver some nice ground strikes. Lee escapes with 10 seconds left on the clock, shes takes the back but doesn’t have times to make anything of it – the horn sounds to end round one.

Round 2: The round begins on the feet and both women seem content to keep it there. Lot’s of volume from both fighters. Lot’s missing, some landing. Modafferi is getting the better of it right now – she’s landing from weird angles. The tide turns in Lee’s favour as she does a great job of mixing her kicks and strikes. She momentarily gets a takedown but its back to the feet almost instantly. A big spinning back elbow from Lee seems to have wobbled her opponent – beautiful stuff! Another heavy shot lands from Lee who throws a body kick afterwards, Modaferri grabs a leg and secure the takedown and finishes the round in top position.

Round 3: We are back underway and these ladies are trading shot. Both of them land nice uppercuts early into the third and final round. Lee is trying to use her kicks to keep Modafferi at bay. Lot’s of movement and feints from Roxy but she isn’t landing much. Two minutes left on the clock. Modafferi gets the body lock and the takedown. Lee works her way back to her feet but is dragged right back down to the mat. Roxy is maintains top position well and hitting her opponent with pop shots. Ten seconds left and Lee manages to reverse the position to end the round and the fight on top.

OFFICIAL RESULT: Roxanne Modafferi def. Andrea Lee via unanimous decision

UFC women’s flyweight Andrea Lee was not pleased to hear that one of the judges watching her fight wasn’t actually paying attention.

Lee took on Lauren Murphy in the prelims of UFC 247 on Saturday night in Houston, Texas. Many felt she did more than enough to win the bout — after all, every media member scored the fight her way.

However, she ended up losing a split decision much to the shock of the mixed martial arts world. To make matters worse, commentators Joe Rogan and Dominick Cruz noticed one of the judges wasn’t paying attention during the fight.

It compounded a night full of judging mishaps, most notably in the main event between Jon Jones and Dominick Reyes where one judge bewilderingly gave the former a 49-46 scorecard.

And Lee now wants to see proof of the judge not paying attention. She went on to add in her statement that such judges should not be given the opportunity to oversee a fight ever again:

“If anyone has video or pictures of the judge who was on his phone during the fights, please send them to me,” she wrote on Instagram. “I just think that if you’re there to judge fights, you should be watching the fight and not on your phone, therefore I think that judge should not have the opportunity to sit cage side and judge fights ever again, especially when there are plenty of other judges who were better qualified and more deserving.”

It should be interesting to see if there are any new developments or updates following the abysmal judging on Saturday night.

Women’s flyweight contender Andrea Lee has signed an extension to her current deal ahead of her next bout.

Lee last outpointed Montana De La Rosa in June to make it three wins out of three under the UFC banner. She was initially planning to fight later on in the year so that she could spend time with her daughter.

However, the UFC offered her a top-five opponent in Joanne Calderwood at UFC 242 on September 7 as well as a new six-fight extension to her contract — an offer she couldn’t refuse:

“I was hoping it could be a little bit later but they told me right away it would be early September and I figured, ‘what the heck?,” Lee told BJPENN.com. “I figured I would go ahead, get this fight, I was able to renegotiate my contract so I’m gonna get paid more and I’m hoping to not have to fight for the rest of the year. I figured I would go ahead and get it out of the way and then I can enjoy the rest of the year, spend time with my daughter and enjoy the holidays.

“It was time to renegotiate since this would’ve been the last fight on my contract. For this contract, I renegotiated for six-fights and I’m happy with it.”

Lee is one of the more impressive fighters in the flyweight division and one that many see as a potential threat to current queen Valentina Shevchenko. If she defeats Calderwood at UFC 242, we could be one step closer to seeing them collide.

It’s certainly clear that the UFC rate her highly as well.

Do you think Lee will get a title shot soon?
