To compete on TUF: 27 Finale

Honchak will take on Roxanne Modafferi in a flyweight bout at the TUF: 27 Finale on July 6 in Las Vegas, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Honchak got her last opportunity in December, when she lost a narrow split-decision to Lauren Murphy to snap a nine-fight winning streak. That streak included wins against several women who went on to the UFC, including Felice Herrig, Nina Ansaroff and Leslie Smith. She'll now look to secure a spot on the UFC flyweight roster in a rematch against Modafferi, who she defeated via rear-naked choke all the way back in 2011. At 38 years old, this might be one of the final opportunities Honchak sees.

Honchak lost to Lauren Murphy via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 28-29) at the TUF 26 Finale on Friday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Honchak seemed to have control of this fight on the feet. She was quicker than Murphy and stayed ahead in the striking exchanges. However, Murphy went to her wrestling in the second and third rounds to pull out the decision. Honchak threatened with a trio of submissions on the ground, but Murphy escaped and took her back. Prior to this fight, Honchak had not lost a non-exhibition fight since 2010.
Will now face Lauren Murphy

November 30, 2017
Honchak will take on Lauren Murphy at the TUF 26 Finale in Las Vegas on December 1, Damon Martin of UFC.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Honchak was originally expected to take on Roxanne Modifferi after both fighters lost in the semifinals of the tournament, but now Modifferi will take the place of Sijara Eubanks in the flyweight title bout due to a weight-cutting issue. In Modifferi's absence, Lauren Murphy -- who initially attempted to join the tournament -- will have a chance at Honchak on Friday night.
