10 Incredible UFC Fights To Watch In January
6. Roxanne Modafferi Vs. Maycee Barber - UFC 246
Despite only being two years into her MMA career, Maycee Barber has proven that she's a particularly violent prospect. Her three appearances in the UFC have all ended in brutal finishes, particularly her last fight against fellow young upstart, Gillian Robertson.
Barber usually attacks in vicious flurries, always landing two or three hard shots on her opponent. These strikes eventually wear her opponents down until they fold under the pressure. While she can definitely make some improvements to her game, especially in tempering her aggression, she's still got enough talent to go far in the flyweight division.
Her next opponent is women's mixed martial arts legend, Roxanne Modafferi. The 37-year old has been around since 2003 and has literally fought a who's who of women. She'll have a significant experience advantage over Barber and we'll need her crafty veteran moves to defeat the young upstart in front of her.
This is exactly the sort of challenge Barber needs now as a win could make her a top contender at 125lb in 2020.
