It was after the sixth straight loss that Modaferri would turn things around.<\/p>\n<p>Having gone 7-3 (9-4 including TUF 26) since the losing streak, Modaferri has only lost to some of the very best in the division, including Eubanks who defeated her on their ways through TUF 26.<\/p>\n<p>As it&#8217;s been well documented, despite Eubanks earning the upset over Modaferri it would be Modaferri who would get the title shot in the inaugural\u00a0title bout at 125-pounds in the UFC. This was due to weight cutting complications for Eubanks that caused her hospitalization.<\/p>\n<p>Coming up short in her title shot against Nicco Montano, Modaferri has since gotten redemption against former worldwide No. 1 Barb Honchak who defeated her during her lengthy losing streak.
