Miranda Maverick

Overview

Four UFC losses, and every one of them went to the scorecards. Miranda Maverick, the Women's Flyweight who goes by "Fear The," has never been finished in the Octagon.

She is 8-4 in the UFC and 17-6-0 across all promotions, and the UFC record is the one that counts here. Five of her eight wins came by decision, and three were finishes: one TKO, two submissions. The most recent result is a loss, so she carries a one-fight skid into her next bout.

She is a southpaw out of Jefferson City, with a 5'4" frame and a 65.5" reach.

UFC Career

Maverick's UFC debut came in June 2020, and the first fight in our fight list is UFC 254 that October, where she stopped Liana Jojua with a first-round TKO. She followed with a unanimous decision over Gillian Robertson at UFC 260.

Then came the first rough patch. A split decision loss to Maycee Barber in July 2021 and a unanimous loss to Erin Blanchfield at UFC 269 made it two straight.

She rebuilt quickly. Sabina Mazo fell to a second-round submission in March 2022, and a decision over Shanna Young followed. A unanimous loss to Jasmine Jasudavicius at UFC 289 interrupted the run, but she answered within seven weeks, submitting Priscila Cachoeira in the third round at UFC 291.

That win started her longest UFC streak, four straight. It also included decisions over Andrea Lee, Dione Barbosa and Jamey-Lyn Horth.

The streak ended in June 2025 against Rose Namajunas, a unanimous decision loss to an opponent our model rates as strong.

Twelve fights, ten of them to the third round.

Fighting Style

Miranda Maverick is a takedown-heavy fighter who is hard to hit. She takes a lot of shots on the mat, and she absorbs very few strikes on the feet. Her striking output and accuracy are about average, so the defense and the grappling carry her.

She does give ground in one area: she gets taken down more than most. She also doesn't hunt for submissions much, so her takedowns tend to win rounds more than they end fights.

She has never been stopped. All four of her losses are decisions. Of her three finishes, two came after the first round, a submission in the second and another in the third, and one came by knockout in round one.
