Modafferi lost in her semifinal bout opposite Sijara Eubanks in the final episode of the reality series. Eubanks experienced severe difficulty during her weight cut, though, and was <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/breaking-roxanne-modafferi-will-fight-inaugural-ufc-womens-flyweight-title\/\">forced out of the fight<\/a> just over a day before she was meant to vie for a spot in history.<\/p>\n<p>Despite losing on the show, perhaps no one deserves this opportunity more than Modafferi. At 23-10, Modafferi holds most professional fights than most women and has been a fan favorite for years. The women&#8217;s MMA pioneer was originally scheduled to fight Barb Honchak.<\/p>\n<p>Monta\u00f1o is a relative novice compared to Modafferi. At just 3-2 and coming off a decision loss outside of the UFC, Monta\u00f1o would easily be the least experienced champ next to Brock Lesnar.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first of two back-to-back UFC events as UFC 218 will take Saturday night in Detroit, Michigan. The Ultimate Fighter 26 Finale will take place tomorrow, December 1st from the Park Theater in Paradise, Nevada.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Main Card:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Inaugural Women\u2019s Flyweight Title: Sijara Eubanks** vs. Nicco Monta\u00f1o (124.5)<br \/>\nSean O\u2019Malley (135.5) vs. Terrion Ware (136)<br \/>\nBarb Honchak (125.5) vs. Roxanne Modafferi (124)***<br \/>\nEric Spicely (185.5) vs. Gerald Meerschaert (185)<br \/>\nDeAnna Bennett (126) vs. Melinda Fabian (126)<br \/>\nJoe Soto (135) vs. Brett Johns (135.5)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Preliminary Card:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Montana De La Rosa (125.5) vs. Christina Marks (125.5)|<br \/>\nRyan Janes (185) vs. Andrew Sanchez (185.5)<br \/>\nRachael Ostovich (125) vs. Karine Gevorgyan (130)*<br \/>\nAriel Beck (125.5) vs. Shana Dobson (125.5)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Fight Pass Preliminary Card:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Gillian Robertson (125.5) vs. Emily Whitmire (125)<\/p>\n<p>*Missed weight<br \/>\n**Missed weight and will not compete.<br \/>\n***Promoted to main event<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lauren Murphy is expected to replace Roxanne Modafferi against Barb Honchak.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>This article first appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/BJPenn.com\">BJPenn.com<\/a> on 11\/30\/2017.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Before the new UFC women&#8217;s flyweight champion is crowned on Friday night, check out the official weigh ins for The Ultimate Fighter 26.
