Here's the match video of Miranda Maverick vs Liana Jojua from yesterday's UFC show in Abu Dhabi. This fight is at Flyweight. Miranda is 23 years old from Springfield, MO. She trains at House of Muay Thai in Norfolk, VA while attending Old Dominion University. She looked good at times in Invicta but we'll see what she looks like in the UFC. Liana is 25 years old from Georgia. She's 1-1 in the UFC. This is her second fight at Flyweight. Miranda won round one mostly because Liana did nothing. When Liana returned to her corner after round one, she was asked what she was waiting for. The problem was a Miranda elbow opened a cut on the bridge of Liana's nose. When her corner couldn't stop the bleeding, the ref called the ringside doctor in and he stopped the fight. Liana did not break her nose. She just needed stitches to close the cut. Some have questioned the stoppage but if the bleeding couldn't be stopped, the fight had to be stopped. Afterwards Miranda declared herself as the next big thing. I think it's a little early for that kind of hubris. Enjoy the video!
