Less than 24 hours after losing her initial opponent for UFC on ESPN 4, Roxanne Modafferi has a new one. Modafferi will now take on Jennifer Maia in a flyweight bout, a person with knowledge of the situation confirmed to MMA Junkie on Wednesday. ESPN was first to report the news. UFC on ESPN 4 takes place July 20 at AT&T Center in San Antonio. Modafferi (23-15 MMA, 2-2 UFC) initially was scheduled to take on Liz Carmouche before the UFC decided to pull Carmouche out of the fight and give her a shot at flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko at UFC on ESPN+ 14 on Aug. 10 in Uruguay.
