Lost six straight, now has one four of five. Credits moving from Japan to Las Vegas and refocusing her (Rocky IV in Russia style).

Moving to 125 can't have hurt either. She was badly outsized in a lot of fights at 135. I wonder if she still posts here.
 
Glad to see her working things out, not too many people out their more deserving.
 
#1 change was that she started to realize that USA judging system only cares about one thing... being on top. She was always so willing to fight off her back and is probably the only person to be KOed twice via slams from that position. Her striking also improved majorly, though she still admits she doesn't like hitting people... but choking them instead.

Love me some Roxy. Haven't seen her in a couple months :( this thread has now made me sad.

Something changed but I can't put my finger on it.
 
Roxanne seems a lovely girl, a really lovely person. But she's a poor fighter.
 
Like watching paint dry. Looks like a school teacher that did LSD which changed her And she ended up in a cage
 
She might not be the best fighter but she seems like one of the nicest, most humble fighters in all of MMA. Maybe that's a downside of sorts as she may lack some killer instinct but I wish her nothing but the best.
