UFC 271: Adesanya vs. Whittaker 2 - Roxy Modafferi stepping in the cage for the last time

While I don’t have an issue with the fights the UFC has put on the televised portion of the prelims, I am scratching my head at the order in which they have placed them. I mean, Andrei Arlovski and Jared Vanderaa is the featured prelim? Why not put Roxanne Modafferi and Casey O’Neill in that spot? The UFC appears to see something special in O’Neill and the ever-likable Modafferi has declared this to be her retirement fight. I know making it the featured prelim doesn’t really mean that much, but shouldn’t it mean something if the UFC is going to announce the final fight of the prelims in that manner?
