Scheduled against Namajunas
Maverick and fellow flyweight Rose Namajunas are fighting in what is expected to be UFC Atlanta on June 14, per Damon Martin of MMA Fighting.
ANALYSIS
June 14 is a legitimate opportunity for Maverick to advance into the top 10 of the UFC's flyweight rankings. She has the momentum to do so, having won each of her last four fights.

Picks up fourth straight win
Maverick defeated Jamey-Lyn Horth via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Tampa, Florida.
ANALYSIS
She got the win she was seeking against a late-notice opponent, but this was one of Maverick's worst performances to date, a fact she openly admitted in her post-fight presser. Entering as upwards of a -900 favorite, Maverick went 2-for-9 on takedowns, but she did rack up 6:50 of control time. She does deserve credit for finding a takedown in Round 3 with the outcome totally up for grabs, but Miranda managed just 24 significant strikes and did next to nothing with her seemingly-constant positional advantage. It doesn't feel as if Maverick is making a ton of progress despite the fact she's won four in a row dating back to July 2023.

Gets new opponent
Maverick will now fight Jamey-Lyn Horth at UFC Tampa on Dec. 14, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Maverick was originally slated to fight Tracy Cortez in December, but the latter was forced to withdraw Tuesday due to an injury. Maverick will now have a chance to extend her winning streak to four while facing an opponent who is coming off a win over Ivana Petrovic last Saturday.

Scheduled against Cortez
Maverick is scheduled to compete against Tracy Cortez in a flyweight fight at UFC Tampa on Dec. 14, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
This is a great opportunity for Maverick to enter the UFC's flyweight rankings, as Cortez is ranked No. 12. But excluding her loss to Rose Namajunas, Cortez has won her other five UFC fights, suggesting she is a capable foe to take down Maverick's win streak.
