  Roxanne Modafferi - Battle Ready
  

  Tuesday, November 03, 2009Article By MarQ Piocos - News EditorImagine getting a call at 3:40 a.m. asking “Do you wanna fight one of the top fighters in the world in one week’s time?” A lot of fighters would want some more prep time, but for Roxanne Modafferi, it was an opportunity she just couldn’t pass up.On “Sportsgeeks” this week, Modafferi talked about her preparations for the fight and her excitement of returning to fight in the states. She hasn’t fought in a year, which has been a struggle. However, she found a way to use it as a tool to help motivate her during training.“I’ve been training like crazy,” Modafferi commented. “It’s been really depressing not getting a fight. I’ve been depressed over it, but I tried to turn that into, ‘Alright! I have to get better. When I do get the chance I just have to get good enough to show everybody what I can do. And I have to focus on improving.’ In that frame of mind I trained everyday crazily.”With already one victory over her opponent Marloes Coenen, Modafferi is hoping to make it two in a row at Strikeforce in Chicago this weekend. She isn’t going to take Coenen lightly, however.“I think (Coenen) is very good, and she’s very strong, and there is no way I am underestimating her,” Modafferi stated. “(In our first fight) in the first round, she caught we with a hook and that kind of stunned me; so that’s why I went down. So, I am going to be watching for that. I am just going to have to impose my game on her. I’m very cautious but I am going to do my own thing.”When it comes to how the fight would play out, Modafferi said anything and everything will happen.“It could got either way, you know” Modafferi admitted. “We are both good at out ground game. We both have our strengths and weaknesses standing. I can’t predict what will happen, only that I will win in the end.”
