Former UFC strawweight champion Rose Namajunas transitioned to the flyweight division, hoping to secure a title shot starting with her fight against Miranda Maverick at UFC Atlanta. Namajunas, with a record of 13-7, is looking to regain her momentum after dropping two consecutive fights in strawweight. Maverick, on a four-fight win streak and determined to make her mark, engaged Namajunas with strong maneuvers through both rounds. Despite offering resistance and skill, Namajunas struggled to maintain control and eventually faced significant challenges against Maverick's persistence during the match.
"Namajunas put the pressure on Maverick, but the younger flyweight wasn't giving up much real estate choosing to rush forward with a combo."
"Maverick landed a big left hand as Namajunas entered range which caused the former champ to slip down, but she popped back up quick."
"Namajunas scored a slick takedown landing on top in open guard, but Maverick powered out and took the back."
