Set as the co-main event under the UFC on ESPN: Usman vs. Buckley banner, Rose Namajunas and Miranda Maverick are set to clash in a pivotal women’s flyweight bout on June 14 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. They will be meeting at the octagon for the first time and have known each other all too well from their days in Colorado.

Namajunas (13-7), the former strawweight queen, has had a rocky transition to 125 pounds. Since moving up in 2023, she holds a 2-2 record in the division, picking up wins over Tracy Cortez and Amanda Ribas but falling to top contenders Manon Fiorot and Erin Blanchfield.

Meanwhile, Maverick (15-5) enters on a tear. The 27-year-old has racked up four consecutive wins since July 2023 and carries serious momentum into the biggest opportunity of her career if she defeats Namajunas.

Rose Namajunas’s MMA Journey

Rose Namajunas, a Milwaukee-born fighter with deep Lithuanian roots, has been immersed in martial arts since childhood, starting taekwondo at five and later adding karate, BJJ, kickboxing, and wrestling to her arsenal. After going 4-0 as an amateur, she turned pro in 2013 with Invicta FC and joined the UFC later that year.

Though her UFC debut ended in a submission loss to Carla Esparza, Namajunas quickly rebounded, ultimately capturing the strawweight title in 2017 with a stunning TKO over Joanna Jedrzejczyk. She defended the belt once, lost it to Jessica Andrade in 2019, and reclaimed it in 2021 by knocking out Zhang Weili. Another successful defense followed before she lost the title again, ironically to Esparza, this time via decision.

Miranda Maverick’s MMA Journey

Miranda Maverick’s grit was forged early on the farmlands of Tunas, Missouri, where she developed the strength and discipline that would later fuel her MMA career. She began wrestling in high school and turned her attention to mixed martial arts after graduation in 2015. With a 7-1 amateur record and a reputation as the No. 1 in her region, 18-year-old Maverick caught the eye of Invicta FC president Shannon Knapp, launching her professional career.

Maverick made her pro debut in 2016, submitting Samantha Diaz, and moved up from strawweight to flyweight the following year, scoring a win over Gabby Romero. After honing her skills in Invicta, she joined the UFC in 2020, earning a TKO victory in her debut against Liana Jojua.

I understood those voices aren’t noise; they’re emotions of true sports fans, and now I am one of them, writing with the same energy I once questioned.
