About me: My name is Roxanne Modafferi, and I'm a professional female Mixed Martial Artist. I'm also an English teacher in a reputable English Conversation school, Berlitz, in Japan. I also do some translating and interpreting.
I graduated from the University of Massachusetts, 2005, with a degree in Japanese Language and Literature, minor in linguistics.
In July 2005, I was hired by Berlitz to teach English to kids and adults, and moved to Japan (in Kanagawa ken).
I'm very happy. ^_^
My life goals are:
- to become the strongest woman fighter in the world.
-translate Japanese-English for money
-interpret Japanese-English for money
-publish books and articles
-become fluent in Japanese
About me:
I love playing video games (Tomb Raider, Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, Bomber Man2, Twisted Metal 4, etc, but not RPGs) and computer games (MYST, Populous) when I have the time (which is like never). I love training BJJ, grappling, and MMA the most. Right now I'm spending my time writing my book, over training, teaching English, and trying to not get injured. I'm also writing a fantasy novel and an autobiography.

Great fight. Such short notice and you still did awesome! Keep up the good work and positive attitude. Looking forward to your next fight. Hopefully it'll be on primetime network TV in the US!
Hi! I wish I had gotten to see you fight on tv...hopefully soon! I am an aspiring female mma fighter and I would really love it if you could send some advice my way. Thank you! :)
I haven't been able to find the fight video online but it sounds like you just got caught. I heard you were still smiling after the loss, have to admire the sportsmanship, the truest testament of character is how we handle defeat. Unless you're samurai. Then defeat isn't a test of character so much as a precursor to mandatory suicide. I like your way much better :P
Don't worry about the loss, you are awesome and beat her before already. Aoki came back after loosing to Hansen the second fight =x. RUBBER MATCH!!!!!!!
