Andrea Lee, Roxanne Modafferi agree to Sept. 12 UFC Fight Night bout
The UFC is already beginning to map out its September slate.
A women’s flyweight matchup between Andrea Lee and Roxanne Modafferi is expected to take place Sept. 12 in Las Vegas. Although the fight is not finalized, verbal agreements are in place.
Two people with knowledge of the situation informed MMA Junkie of the targeted booking Wednesday but asked to remain anonymous since the promotion has yet to make an announcement.
No other Sept. 12 UFC fights have been made public or reported at this time, and the promotion has not made an official announcement pertaining to the event date or location.
Lee (11-4 MMA, 3-2 UFC) and Modafferi (24-17 MMA, 3-4 UFC) have fought before back in 2014, with Modafferi winning a split decision at Invicta FC 10.
Lee will look to snap a two-fight losing streak. After winning her first three promotional outings, Lee has dropped back-to-back split decisions to Joanne Calderwood and Lauren Murphy.
Modafferi competed as recently as June 20, losing a unanimous decision to Murphy at UFC on ESPN 11. Since her UFC debut at The Ultimate Fighter 27 Finale in December 2017, Modafferi has alternated wins and losses during her promotional tenure.
