Rose Namajunas vs. Miranda Maverick Round-by-Round updates: UFC Atlanta: Rose Namajunas vs. Miranda Maverick: Live round-by-round updates

Rose Namajunas and Miranda Maverick are set to clash in a key flyweight showdown this Saturday at UFC Fight Night in Atlanta.

Namajunas has been far more active in the past year. After just one fight each in 2022 and 2023, she returned strong in 2024. She picked up wins over Amanda Ribas in March and Tracy Cortez in July. But in November, she lost a hard-fought decision to Erin Blanchfield after a strong start. Now she looks to bounce back and reassert herself as a noteworthy contender at 125 pounds.

Maverick enters the fight on a four-fight win streak. She picked up three victories in 2024, beating Andrea Lee, Dione Barbosa, and Jamey-Lyn Horth. Long seen as a future title challenger, the 27-year-old now has the chance to make that case in the biggest fight of her career. A win over a former strawweight champion would push her into the spotlight.
