Roxanne Modaferri är alltid rolig att se, mest för hon har en så enorm kärlek till sporten. Så det är inte speciellt konstigt att hon kallar sig själv för ”the happy fighter”. Men även den glade kan ha sina dåliga stunder, och på matchen i lördags mot Sarah Kaufman gick inte riktigt som Modaferri ville.
Så här skrev hon på sin facebook-sida:
I lost and it sucked. It helped that I really like Sarah as a person.
The worst thing is feeling that she was better than me. Much physically stronger and a crisp striker, right? I hope for a rematch one day, but I have to improve my skills.
Yes, I cried… one time. That time was when I got out of the shuttle bus at the hotel and was suddenly surrounded by a crowd of people, congratulating me and shaking my hand and telling me how well I did.
They were Sarah’s Zuma people. They were so nice to me! I know they were happy because their girl beat me… but they were so nice and telling me that I had a nice fight even though they were rooting against me… and just… I cried. I was so touched.
Thank you. Thank you everybody who supported me, and us, and…I won’t be like ”I let you down” because I know I’m not going to lose any fans oevr this. I wish I had come out the victor, but you know. Stuff happens… like getting DROPPED ON YOUR HEAD…
Yeah. I had a lot of fun on this trip. I met a lot of people.
But I still love MMA.
