Barbara Marie Honchak (born August 30, 1979)[4] is a retired American professional female mixed martial artist.
[6] She has four wins in the Invicta FC promotion and holds notable victories over Vanessa Porto, Roxanne Modafferi, Leslie Smith and Felice Herrig.
[2] After receiving her degrees, she moved back to Midwest because of her fiancée's career, and started training Brazilian jiu-jitsu for self-defense under Steve Berger at the age of 26.
[10] Honchak won three more fights in 2011, defeating Amber McAvoy and Nina Ansaroff by decision[11][12] and Roxanne Modafferi by submission due to a rear-naked choke.
[25] Honchak faced Takayo Hashi at Invicta FC 9 on November 1, 2014, and successfully defended her title with another unanimous decision victory.
As a result of relocating, she had problems finding a team to train in, which in turn led to the stripping of her title due to inactivity.
[31] However, on the day of the weigh in, Sijara Eubanks was pulled from the fight for kidney failure while trying to make weight and she was replaced by Modafferi to face Nicco Montaño.
[34] The rematch between Honchak and Roxanne Modafferi was rescheduled to take place July 6, 2018, at UFC TUF 27 Finale.
