LAS VEGAS Miranda Maverickdefeated Dione Barbosa on Saturday night at UFC on ESPN 60.
Maverick (14-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) was dominant all around for 15 minutes to claim a unanimous decision from Barbosa (7-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) by scores of 29-28, 30-27 and 30-27. Although Barbosa wasnt the ranked womens flyweight opponent that Maverick hoped for and shouldve faced originally (Tracy Cortez), she was happy with her performance and hopes it sent a message.
Man, I hope I proved something with it, Maverick, who won her third straight fight, said afterward. I didnt finish the fight, little frustrated with that, but I felt like I was beating her everywhere every round. So Im happy with that aspect.
You can watch Mavericks complete UFC on ESPN 60 post-fight session with reporters in the video above.
