Miranda Maverick remained gracious in defeat.
Maverick suffered a shocking split decision defeat to Maycee Barber on the UFC Vegas 32 main card last night. That was despite virtually every observer scoring the first two rounds in her favor.
Unfortunately for Maverick, two of the three judges scored it differently. And on a night of poor and/or controversial judging, Maverick didn’t complain about the result.
Instead, she’s using it as motivation to return even stronger.
“Only those who have been here know how much this hurts to post. I lost… no if, ands, or buts.
