Rose Namajunas vs. Miranda Maverick Preview
Namajunas (13-7) has had a rough stretch lately, losing three of her last five fights. It sounds bad, but let’s be real – her losses were to killers like Carla Esparza, Manon Fiorot, and Erin Blanchfield. Plus, each of those happened by decision.
Her last outing was a five-round scrap with Blanchfield, which she lost in the end. But before that, we saw her rag-doll Tracy Cortez. She landed five takedowns in that fight – a throwback to her early days against VanZant.
At the age of 32, she still has plenty of time to get back in the championship conversation. But for that, she mustn’t lose to Miranda Maverick. The good news for Thug Rose fans is that this is a pretty good matchup for her.
First of all, Rose’s wrestling has gotten better over the years, so she’s probably on par with Maverick in that respect. Still, her strongest weapon remains striking. She averages 3.71 significant strikes per minute – more than Maverick’s 3.39.

But Maverick has never been finished in her career. She’s 15-5, with seven submission wins, but her resume is somewhat soft. She got outclassed by Blanchfield and Maycee Barber, and her wins came against names like Priscila Cachoeira and Dione Barbosa – not exactly elite company.
Rose Namajunas vs. Miranda Maverick Prediction
Maverick’s gritty, but not on Rose’s level. Namajunas has fought and beaten way tougher opponents, and unless she completely underperforms, she should get it done inside three rounds. Don’t be shocked if this is the first time Maverick gets stopped.
